Contents/Summary
- Summary
- At the end of the 1960s the post-war generation began to revolt against their parents. This was a generation disillusioned by anti-communist capitalism and a state apparatus in which they believed they saw fascist tendencies. This generation included journalist Ulrike Meinhof, lawyer Horst Mahler, filmmaker Holger Meins as well as students Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader. Their protest against the state led to the founding of the Red Army Faction (RAF). Constructed entirely from copious film and audio material, the film spotlights their gradual transformation and increasing politicization until they take up armed resistance; it also describes the reactions of the government of the Federal Republic of Germany at the time. Une jeunesse allemande offers an outsider’s view of the Federal Republic of Germany in the RAF era; it also provides a lesson in radical behavior and society’s reactions to it.
