- Holger Meins is nomally known as a member of the so-called "first generation" of the German left-terrorist group RAF ("Rote Armee Fraktion", "Red Army Fraction"; aka "Baader Meinhof Group"), and he is famous for being the first group member to die in prison due to the physical consequences of his long-lasting hunger-strike. Meins was among the first 2 dozen students of the Berliner Film-und Fernseh-Akademie (Berlin Film and Television Academy) founded in 1966. Already open for communist ideology, he produced a small number of films of which several belong to the "Agitprop" genre (agitation and propaganda), e.g. a filmographic manual on how to produce a Molotov cocktail. His life has been documented by Gerd Conradt in the documentary movie Starbuck Holger Meins (2002).- IMDb Mini Biography By: Claus Horn
