This film is actually fantastic. I recommend you google the title, read up on what it is about and then go buy yourself a copy on DVD.
But after watching it I can't help but ask myself who, in those turbulent, changing times, held the greatest possibility of power.
Was it the RAF with their underground supporters, their bombs and their kidnappings?
Was it the German Government with the full might of the German police force?
Neither. For me the most powerful characters in the story were the writers and the publishers. An explosion means nothing until its story is created, until the beliefs that lead to it are published to the world. It was the writers who could rally up support for the group, who could spread the messages and outline their beliefs.
What incredible powers do writers now hold when publishing is free, easy and uncensored?
