§         1) New York Documentary

§         Episode 2:

Order and Disorder (1825-1865) This episode of NEW YORK: A DOCUMENTARY FILM details New York's enormous growth as a booming commercial center and multi-ethnic port, and the mounting tensions that set the stage for the nation's bloodiest riot. Program Description Already established as America's premier port, New York City swelled into the nation's greatest industrial metropolis as a massive wave of German and Irish immigration turned the city into one of the world's most complex urban environments, bringing with it a host of new social problems. Episode Two reveals how the city's artists, innovators and leaders, from poet Walt Whitman to Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux (the designers of Central Park) grappled with the city's growing conflicts -- which culminated in the catastrophic Civil War Draft Riots of 1863.

§         2.) Berlin: 100 Years Weltstadt (100 min): arduous history of Berlin, but very interesting from turn of the century onward

§         3) Berlin: City of Change (28 minutes): highlights the "ethnic" aspects of Berlin's reunification.
