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.
A disillusioned journalist trades her stable domestic life for the violent, underground world of radical German anarchism. This relentless chronicle captures how ideological fervor transforms a group of intellectuals into a notorious urban guerrilla cell.
