Democracy

All looking round at every moment to see the expression on everyone else's face. All trying to guess which way everyone else will jump. All out for themselves and all totally dependent on everyone else. Not one Germany. Sixty million separate Germanies. The tower of Babel!

Set in West Germany in 1969, Democracy follows Willy Brandt as he begins his brief but remarkable career as the first left-of-centre Chancellor for nearly forty years

Always present but rarely noticed is Günter Guillaume, Brandt's devoted personal assistant - and no less devoted in his other role, spying on Brandt for the Stasi
