The documentary film ‘Black Box BRD’, ‘the double story of a victim and a suspected perpetrator’, will be shown at Summerhall as part of a project by Dora Osborne, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Edinburgh University, supported by the Goethe Institut.  Director Andres Veiel  focuses on the aftershocks of the violence of the Red Army Faction, a left-wing terrorist group that emerged in West Germany in the 1970s.  He works with the survivors of violence, asking them to remember both victim and perpetrator.
