The [reality documentary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-tv-series) started as a unique story idea to tell a story from the perspective of the city's inhabitants. A year later, at 6 am on September 5, 2009, the 24 hour footage taken by 80 camera crews is being aired by ARTE, VPRO and YLE Teema. The 24h-Berlin-Projekt resulted in 750 hours of footage, 18 Terabyte of memory, all of which was archived, 24 hours (1440 minutes) of which were aired this week. The 24h-Berlin-Projekt started as an innovative concept to track happenings in the big city; not long after, it became a [massive media experiment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-data).
