Description The opening scene of "Bambule," a TV film written by Ulrike Meinhof and scheduled to appear on German Television on May 24, 1970. Because Meinhof had helped break Andreas Baader out of police custody earlier in the month, the movie was shelved (It later appeared on TV 25 years later). The film takes place in a youth home for girls as the charges deal with the repressive authority of the institution by rioting and challenging the authority.
