Full BBC 4 documentary about Baader-Meinhof

Audio English with German/English subtitles Length 90:00 Production Year 2004
Description The full BBC 4 Documentary "Baader-Meinhof: In Love with Terror" by Ben Lewis. I suspect that whomever posted these videos did not have permission from the BBC, so the links may go down at some point. Lewis's documentary is really quite good; opinionated and oddly arty in many places, but he truly does a great job of covering the entirety of the era. Lots of terrific interviews.

Source The Shah's 1967 Visit to Germany (documentary) Director Roman Brodmann
Audio German/No Subtitles Length 45:00 Production Year 1967 Original Footage June 1967
Description This incredible TV documentary details the Shah of Iran's visit to Germany in 1967. It was produced for Stuttgart Television and the first two thirds follows his tour around the Federal Repbulic in an almost verite fashion. After the arrival in Berlin, the documentary focusses increasingly on the student protests, with incredible footage of the June 2 protests in Berlin. The whole film is extremely balanced; just the straight story. Parts 3 and 4 are the critical sections. Amazing.
