May 2025 marked 50 years since the first criminal trial of RAF terrorists began in Germany. The group’s most prominent victims, like Hanns Martin Schleyer and Alfred Herrhausen, are still remembered today. But the names of other, lesser-known victims have all but been forgotten: police officers, drivers, government employees, a diplomat.
Some of these victims had children, who were 12, 13 or even just two years old when they lost a parent. The murders robbed them of their childhood and inflicted deep emotional scars that are still felt, to this day. The film provides an important perspective on the history of the RAF. Instead of focusing on the perpetrators, it tells the stories of some of the lesser-known victims of RAF terror.
