Babylon Berlin, a period drama now fi lming its fourth season,
brings 1931 Berlin to life. A home for those with talent and
ambition, the German capital off ers everything to anyone
who has money. Nothing seems out of reach. But those who
are poor and hungry will do anything to survive. Crime and
political extremism are growing while those who can are
eager to dance the night away. The Nazis are active, and
Hitler's rise to power is imminent.
Following is a Q&A with LM David Pieper/LMGI and KALM
