This film takes an outside view on the most formative phase of the West-German Republic, the era of the RAF. French filmmaker Jean-Gabriel Period (born 1974) does not offer easy answers or explanations. He assembles partly unknown archive material to a sharp commentary about violence, politics and the war of media and images. Exciting for this day’s as well as for yesterday’s youth. Time to look back on an escalated conflict; on a story of terrorism. How could it come so far? What have we learned? Controversial questions for an ever current topic.
