Grasshopper Film has taken North American distribution rights to The American Sector

Grasshopper Film has taken North American distribution rights to Courtney Stephens and Pacho Velez‘s Berlinale 2020 documentary The American Sector, produced by Asterlight.

The American Sector takes viewers on a road trip around the U.S. to where sections of the Berlin Wall are stored or displayed, thirty years after its iconic fall.

Joe Poletto, founder of Asterlight, said: “I think this film has a special resonance for those who remember or want to explore the fall of the Berlin Wall. ‘The American Sector’ is a meditative film that gives people a chance to really stop and think about the meaning of monuments, context, history, and what historical artefacts mean to us decades after an event.”
