"The Schleyer Tape" is a compilation of television and news footage comprising almost two hours of media accounts regarding the infamous Baader-Meinhof gang/RAF. The film begins with the kidnapping of Hanns-Martin Schleyer, September 5, 1977, and the dramatic news reportage from the scene of the car accident in Cologne where Schleyer was abducted.—Ulf Kjell Gür
