Synopsis
The Baader Meinhof Complex
When German police viciously quell a protest against the shah of Iran, popular journalist Ulrike Meinhof rebels against her dishonest marriage, walks away from her children and joins radical anarchist Andreas Baader. Together with Baader's girlfriend, Gudrun Ensslin, they form the violent Red Faction Army, and together perpetrate a slew of terrorist attacks as a way of disrupting the fabric of what they see as an increasingly fascist state.
Where the River Flows
A rebellious detective, distancing himself from his general father, teams up with a marginalized journalist to clear his father’s name after he’s framed for a brutal murder. As they investigate, they uncover a brutal truth hidden behind the era’s facade.
