Details
The movie Savannah (2013) is the true story of Ward Allen, a charismatic and rebellious character who chooses a life on the river over his plantation heritage. Set in early 20th century America, Ward challenges the laws and societal norms of the time, always accompanied by his loyal friend Christmas Moultrie, a freed slave. Ward is known for his mastery of Shakespeare and his skill with a shotgun, which he uses to supply the markets of Savannah with fowl.
While fighting for his rights as a hunter, Ward's charm and eloquence capture the heart of a woman from high society, who defies her father's wishes to marry him. This unlikely union further challenges the conventional views of the time and adds a layer of complexity to Ward's story.
The movie takes a unique approach in storytelling, as an elderly Moultrie recounts the tale of his life on the river with his friend to a young boy. Through this perspective, viewers gain insight into Ward's character and the bond between the two men.
Overall, Savannah is a riveting and inspiring film that explores themes of freedom, love, and the pursuit of one's passions. It shines a light on a neglected chapter of history and showcases the power of friendship and determination.

Rumors have it that some areas of the militarized border are mined. The only chance of crossing the border is by air.

The Strelzyks decide to go alone but bad weather causes the balloon to crash inside the Communist zone. The Strelzyks leave the crash area but the incriminating evidence litters the ground. They wonder if they will be able to evade the ensuing police investigation and whether they will be able to build another balloon for their next attempt. They also are determined to persuade the Wetzel family to maybe join them in their second try. That is,if the East German Communist secret police, the Stasi, won't get to them first.
