On August 26, 1961, one day before the construction of the wall, the Harry swimming champion crossed the Eastern Berlin border with a fake passport and connected with a group of dissidents in West Berlin. They decided to dig a 140-meter tunnel and did it. This heartbreaking story of love, despair and salvation of 29 Eastern Germans is based on real facts.
