Back to Berlin is a powerful emotional doc about Eleven Jewish motor bikers who retrace the journey of their family's who travelled via motorbike to the site of the infamous 1936 Berlin Olympics from Israel, for the first Jewish Olympic Games on German soil. We get to know each rider and their family histories through historical footage and footage from their current trip as they visit some of the places where many of the German atrocities were committed during WWII.
We are given context of how these families survived the Holocaust and the overwhelming loss of life that was suffered in this time and the heroic spirit of those who survived. It's a fascinating and sobering tale about how the past links to the present and how through this journey we can seek to better understand the tragedies of the past.
