I'm thinking it is more akin to the East German Stasi. Just imagine, only ten years ago this film was garnering awards for exposing what it was like living under Stasi totalitarianism, now the unified Germans are living it. The ironic thing is this film was classified as "educational" a decade ago; somewhere along the line it got reclassified as "instructional."
