Overview:It is the story of young Germans who grew up in the post-war fog of the 1950s, who absorbed the spirit of optimism of the 1960s and who, in the 1970s, lived out to the bitter end the spirit of resistance, violent fantasies, lust for power, fear of the future and lust for life that was buzzing around in the heads of the 1968ers. The terrorists around Meinhof and Baader felt themselves to be the military executors of a mass movement that had begun as a merry uprising against the authoritarian state and as a moral outcry against the American Vietnam War and the suppression of German war crimes. There were two types of terrorists in the RAF, the moralists and the anarchists: the one gave themselves license to kill out of a self-destructive moralism; the other acted out of deep hatred for the state, the police, and any kind of authority. Meinhof stands for the one, Baader for the other. This film documents their slow descent into the underground.
