During the Spring of 2000, in order to promote the release of "The Wall Live - Is There Anybody Out There?" live album, a 50 minute documentary called "Behind The Wall" was produced and broadcast by TV stations worldwide. This documentary was of corse mainly based on The Wall concert, however it also looked at the history of Pink Floyd, from Syd Barrett days to the late 1970s, describing the sequence of events and frustrations that lead to the ambitious concept of The Wall. The last part is even focused on the third realisation of the concept (after the album and the live shows): the film.
This documentary is therefore very complete, and includes interviews with the 4 band members, stage designers Mark Fisher and Jonathan Park, illustrator Gerard Scarfe, film director Alan Parker, and Bob Geldof, who acted as Pink in The Wall film.
But perhaps footage the most important thing about the documentary is the inclusion of pro-shot footage filmed during The Wall shows, that had never surfaced before, at least with that quality. As a separate bonus on this DVD, This Place Records produced a compilation of all these live extracts, overdubbed with sound from "Is There Anybody Out There?" CDs. Some additional footage was taken from the EPK version of  "Behing The Wall", in order to make the experience more complete (some extracts from Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, Nobody Home and Comfortably Numb appear in the EPK but not in the documentary). The total length of that bonus compilation is 15 minutes.
Another Bonus is a 3 minute newsclip from "MCM Mag", recorded from French TV channel "MCM", at the time "Is There Anybody Out There?" was released.
