"Welcome to Berlin Motherf*cker!" | Derby Days Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin v Hertha BSC

Deutsche Untertitel verfügbar.
English and German subtitles available

In a city that has experienced the highs and lows of humanity from centuries of war and conflict to decades of cabaret and culture, the only thing it hasn’t seen, is a top flight derby. Well, at least not for forty years.

Until now.

Off the back of our insane trip to Superclåsico in Buenos Aires, Derby Days is back for season 5 and this time it's all about "The Wait". The intense rivalries between clubs from England to Germany to Italy that haven’t met for 7, 8 even 13 years. What happens to a rivalry when there’s an absence of meetings? Is it a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder or is the rivalry even more heated thanks to the anxious wait?

In Episode 2 we head to Berlin, as for the very first time in Bundesliga 1, the city’s big club Hertha Berlin, based in the West, take on the rising force of the East, Union Berlin. Just like the city, the two clubs share a contradicting, complex and storied relationship, unlike any other in world football. As a result this meeting always promised to be a special occasion both on and off the pitch. It certainly delivered.

A special thank you to Harris, Mike, Will, Anna, Steve, Uli, Micha and Daniel at HBSC, Hannes and Robert at Union, Olly, Barbara, Endi, Charlie, Daniela at the DFL, Roy and Gabe, Phillip, Mo & Peji at the courtyard Marriot and in particular Carim and Jacob. This film wouldn't be what it is without you!
