    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!

      @schwulerbaumgermane6249 4 года назад +15

      Totally agree, but to be honest : It's an artificial derby for marketing reasons. If someone listened to the history part closely, and complete it with historic times before the GDR/Soviet led dictatorship, Berlin has no rival culture against other parts of the city. Frankfurt or Cologne are the same. Union fans tend to be more ready to fight, as they actively fought against the East German fascist surveillance state 30 years ago, what is remarkable, and kept that spirit. Hertha is much more saturated. So if someone dislikes the city of Berlin, you need to know, that West Berlin is not similar and comparable to (old) West Germany, and just because you were born in East doesn't mean that you are lazy.

      Yeah. As a Berliner, I'd say it was quite to the point and accurate. The quality is comparable to the huge budget documentaries on Netflix.
      One note for that English Berliner though: even though he looked very self-assured, Döner Kebap wasn't invented in Berlin. Döner has been made in Turkey for centuries and Kebap is like the general name for the Turkish dishes. What was invented in Berlin is putting the Döner in bread only, which was an invention to adapt to the hectic city life in which people don't have much time to eat or just eat "on the way - Unterwegs". This coming from a Turk, who has made quite some research on the subject :D

    Derby Days are some of the best docs on RUclips, but this one just raised the bar to unbelievable heights. This is absolutely world class stuff and should have every kind of award thrown after it!
    I'm sad to see that the younger supporters are leaning into a hateful rivalry rather than a friendly one, because there is already so much tension and hate in football. Just imagine how beautiful it could've been if both Herta and Union stayed up in the Bundesliga with a friendly rivalry where they met as friends, despite being in a city that has been divided for so many decades!

      I don't hate Union. I'm 50. I'm somewhere in the middle of it. I had good chats with a bit of back and forth friendly banter with Union Fans ( the only unsympathetic fans were some of the younger fans online and a young female fan in the S-Bahn who acted like Herthafans were worthless peasants and Union is a superior Club who looks down on Hertha (that was in a time where both clubs played 1.Liga). And both clubs had to deal with problems. Union in the GDR as the red headed stepchild of the GDR and being held down by Stasi General (?) Erich Mielke in favor of his favorite club BFC Dynamo, Hertha in recent years for being the Big City Club and having an Investor. Sometimes it was just outright unfair being labeled as the Great Big Bad and Union as the lily white hero when it wasn't all black and white, rather grey. That's the reason why I don't hate Union, but I'm also not totally fond of them.

      Thats the reason why Union is so hated. They always betray themselves to be this "cool and alternative" club. And they can't stop talking about how they build their own stadium for example even though 99% who brag about it didn't do anything. When Union were in the second/ third league they weren't special at all. Hertha is the real club in Berlin.

      Now they earn the Money they spend in the past years. Also the ultrascene of Union hates that so many Hipster Join the Stadium, they want to be still a Berlin Club, nothing Else.
      Also that Shit rumor that BFC DYNAMO is right winged is not anymore Like in the late 90s .
      In the 80s Punks, Skins , Hools and whatever stood Side by Side for the Club BFC Dynamo.
      Saying now , they are only Nazis is false. I'm not a Nazi and a Lot of my Friends arent.
      We are sick of hearing it, Same for that Stasishit. Yes we were the Club formed by Stasi but its 2020 soon, we are a free financial Club in the 4th Division. We Made mistakes , starting from 7th again and made it Back to the 4th League.
      And if, If some day we make it maybe into the 3rd everyone is fine with that. Because noone had this Big Fall Like we had. 10 Times Champ were lost in the nowhere and climb Back Up.
