Whisper & SHOUT is an East Germany documentary made shortly before the fall of the Wall about that country's rock scene. A number of bands are followed as they rehearse, perform and travel from gig to gig. Both musicians and fans are interviewed about music and their lives. The fans complain about how boring their lives are and how live music is the one few exciting things they have to look forward. More serious complaints (such as about censorship and police harassment) are more obliquely referred to. It's an interesting but not riveting, time capsule look at a world few Americans know about, although contemporaries of the music and the GDR will probably find it much more enjoyable.
