Arnolfini, Bristol

Astrid Proll was a member of the early Baader-Meinhof gang (Red Army Faction) and spent time in prison. She wrote about her time in Baader-Meinhof: Pictures on the Run 1967-1977. In discussion with writer and commentator Iain Sinclair, she talks about Germany in 1968, why she came to England in 1970 and what happened afterwards.

Sinclair's next book, a 'documentary fiction' entitled Hackney: That Rose-Red Empire, includes coverage of Proll's life in England.
