This new German movie is based on Stefan Aust's definitive work on the Red Army Faction's war against the German state in the late 1960s and 70s. Often described as the radicalised children of the Nazi generation, they caused considerable chaos with bomb attacks, kidnappings and shootings in their assault on what they saw as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment. Here, Rudi Dutschke rails against the Vietnam War in front of thousands of students at the Technical University in Berlin including Andrea Baader and Ulrike Meinhof.

This animated anti-war movie by Ari Folman looks at the subconscious effects of war on both the director himself and a group of old friends who served in the Israeli army during the invasion of Lebanon in 1982. The former soldiers are already haunted by the massacres of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps and the film opens with Folman rushing to a friend tortured by nightmares. The voices of most of the interviewees are featured in the film, and their recollections are animated.
