Squatting pt. 1 - The rise and fall of squatting in West Berlin

In this episode we start in the 1960s. Berlin was the center of a rising youth and protest culture and as the 70s began, a failed urban renewal policy stripped the city and provided the perfect environment for the start of what we consider to be the modern squatting movement in Berlin. We trace the evolution of counter culture events, the rise of communal living, and the evolution of squatting as a political and social movement as it takes over and transforms the fabric of West Berlin in ways that remain to this day.
