Black Box BRD steps back into German history, showing the Federal Republic of Germany of the 70s and 80s. The country is polarized due to the power struggle of the German state and the "Red Army Faction".
Sinekatalog’s take
A thoughtful documentary that reads German terrorism and state response as two sides of a polarized era. It favors reflection over easy verdicts and lets contrasting lives speak. Demanding but rewarding for viewers interested in postwar German history and political violence.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
