Nonviolent demonstrators — 70,000 of them — holding only candles against soldiers with machine guns and tanks? That's just crazy enough that it might work. And it did in Leipzig, where East German authorities had expected to quash the rising freedom movement but soon realized that the socialist GDR regime was being very politely shown the door. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of German reunification, the Hannover Committee of the Sister City Association of Kansas City presents the documentary The Miracle of Leipzig tonight at 7 at the Mission Theatre (5909 Johnson Drive in Mission) and again at 7 p.m. Monday, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Another screening will be presented Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Turner GACA Klubhaus (512 Bong in Belton). Admission for all screenings is $5; beverages will be available for purchase. For more information, call Traute Kohler at 913-262-1183 or e-mail tkohler@ku.edu.
Thu., Nov. 5, 7 p.m.; Mon., Nov. 9, 7 p.m., 2009
