Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

Sorry it was a bit cramped in the very back...

This Oscar-nominated movie takes a look at the origins and activities of the Red Army Faction / Baader-Meinhof Complex in Germany during the 1970s. It was founded by a young couple who were opposed to the Vietnam War and capitalist society, and who morphed from activists to terrorists. In the process they lost the moral high ground and it was only a matter of time before the law caught up with them. In German language with English subtitles.

148 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language, Nudity, Violence)
