Show Notes
On film and left-wing terrorism.
[Patreon Exclusive]
We talk about Uli Edel’s 2008 film The Baader Meinhof Complex, which tells the story of the Red Army Faction in 1960s and 70s Germany. What sorts of myths do films create? Is the attempt to break down myths in fact a way of re-making those myths? Is a Red Army Faction response possible today - and what does terrorism at the End of the End of History look like?
We also discuss the image-sausage-grinder theory of film and reflect on six years of podcast urban guerilla activity.
