7When fourteen year old Kari left her abusive home and connected with a band of disaffected young people in Germany, she never anticipated the ordeal she would live through for the following several years. It was 1968; the Vietnam War was raging and an alienated generation was kicking back, culturally and politically. The group Kari joined was a part of a network of radical activists connected with the infamous Red Army Faction. Soon she was both using and running drugs, getting embroiled in political activism bordering on terrorism, and trying to survive the sexual, emotional and physical abuse directed at her by her 'handler' and his associates. An insight into an era born of idealism that shows how it crashed and burned, often becoming worse than the society it had rejected.
