Using court transcriptions, letters and prison memoranda, this controversial film recreates the trial of the Baader-Meinhoff group in the 1970s. In a memorable and intense attempt to analyse the causes and effects of terrorism, Hauff criticises the intolerance of both the perpetrators and those who inflict narrow-minded judgements upon them.
