Arena — Edgar Reitz: Return to Heimat (S1 E449)

An Arena special which documents the making of Reitz's second great German epic, The Second Heimat, which begins on BBC2 next Saturday. When Jewish writer Carole Angier watched the original Heimat (recently repeated on BBC2), she was so moved she wrote to its creator; Reitz responded that she had understood his work better than anyone. She later saw the making of his next epic, the 26-hour Second Heimat. Tonight's programme is a record of Angier's extraordinary experiences witnessing two years of writing and four years of filming.
