Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

“The Baader Meinhof Complex” is a film directed by Uli Edel.  It was written and produced by Bernd Eichinger, and it retells the story of the West German far-left militant group the RAF (Red Army Faction) from 1967 to 1977.  The RAF described itself as a communist and anti-imperialist "urban guerrilla" group engaged in armed resistance against what they deemed to be a fascist state. As such, members of the RAF generally used the Marxist–Leninist term "Faction" when they wrote in English.  The West German government considered the Red Army Faction to be a terrorist organization.

Here is a short plotline: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalized children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he's only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
