Ulrike Marie Meinhof's TV script about
the Eichenhof welfare home in West Berlin was developed
in 1969. She had started her so-called welfare education
several years earlier working on several projects and
making her criticisms heard. In several radio broadcasts
she investigated the conditions in the homes and the
consequences of this form of detention. Bambule was
filmed in February and March 1970. The film, a
Südwestfunk (South-West Radio) production, was to have
been shown on the ARD TV channel in May 1970. At that
time, however, Ulrike Meinhof was already suspected of
being involved in helping Andreas Baader escape from
prison. ARD acted as judge and jury and withdrew the
film. The film was then due to be shown in April 1971 but
was again withdrawn and shelved for the next twenty
years. The facts portrayed in the film are true. The film
alternates between documentary and feature film. The
documentary parts are based on tape recordings. Where
these might be misunderstood as being an attack only on
isolated abuses, feature film elements are introduced,
which do not focus the audience's imagination on
"local news", but rather stimulate it. In
numerous discussions with the film's director, Ulrike
Meinhof came back to the same demand time and time again
: the film should "get closer to the truth, not
closer to reality".
So the film, rather than portraying bad conditions, shows
a bad state of affairs.
