A very moving and powerful documentary that is both an emotional journey and a physical one. Has amazing personal accounts and archival footage that is really emotional. The statistics of people being sent to their deaths is staggering. The resistance accounts are heroic. It's an impactful movie and timely because of all the hate that has been cultivated for political in America and beyond. The riders are so easy to love and relate to. I cried with them.

I happened across this documentary. So glad I decided to take a look at it! What an affecting journey. The bikers and their family stories of the Holocaust are personal and deeply involving. I was really moved by their shares and their journey. This is just an excellent doc. in every way!

Highly contemplative and well-executed doc revolving around the 2015 Maccabiah Games, apparently referred to in more common vernacular as the "Jewish Olympics," and held where we commonly see footage of Jesse Owens' dominating in Berlin as Hitler sulked in hate-driven disgust.
This film is not relegated to mere celebration, however, as the Maccabiah Games, we learn, have arisen from a continued modern-day emergence of the same hate that gave us Hitler.
Extremely well-conceived - it's sombering and triumphant - this is a modern historical doc that can't be missed, as it spotlights the dark forces at work within the human condition, and provides a persevering means by which to defeat them.

It's not always an effective forma...but the film builds to a devastating climax at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Back to Berlin is a sombre, thoughtful documentary about the 2015 Maccabiah Games, held every four years and sometimes called the "Jewish Olympics".

With stops at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka along the way, the stories told are powerful, horrific and cautionary.

The past and the present are inextricably linked in Back to Berlin, a modest but moving documentary following a group of eleven Israeli bikers on the road from Tel Aviv to Berlin.
