This is the story of Michael Gartenschläger, a former political prisoner in East Germany. Sentenced for life at the age of 17, and later redeemed by the West, he could not stop fighting the socialist regime. He boldly dismantled spring-gun mines at the border to reveal their presence to the public. The Stasi killed him in 1976.
