    Synopsis

    A GERMAN YOUTH (Une Jeunesse Allemande) chronicles the political radicalization of some German youth in the late 1960s that gave birth to the Red Army Faction (RAF), a German revolutionary terrorist group founded notably by Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, as well as the images generated by this story. The film is entirely produced by editing preexisting visual and sound archives and aims to question viewers on the significance of this revolutionary movement during its time, as well as its resonance for today’s society.

    - Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

    “A thought-provoking look at the Baader-Meinhof group and the political debates of the era…Fests should take note.” - Jay Weissberg, Variety
