This is a movie about Japanesee maoist terrorist group from 70's which is well known for their episode in which they killed 14 of their members. Really ineresting movie which shows how Marxism can not exist without humanism and common sense. Also, first 30 minutes of movie are showing us 60's student movement in Japan...

The United Red Army (連合赤軍 Rengō Sekigun? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets)) was a Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_people) revolutionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary) armed group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary), established on 15 July 1971. It united the Red Army Faction, led in 1971 by Tsuneo Mori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuneo_Mori) and the Maoist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoist) Revolutionary Left Wing of the Japanese Communist Party, led by Hiroko Nagata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroko_Nagata). The United Red Army had 29 members and lost 14 by killing them in less than a year.
Early in August, two defectors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defectors) were lynched (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynched) and their bodies buried in Inba numa marsh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh), Chiba Prefecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiba_Prefecture). In the winter of 1971–72 the United Red Army was hiding in the mountains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains) in Gunma Prefecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunma_Prefecture). They established camps and trained for military (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military) purposes. The leaders of the United Red Army encouraged their fighters to examine their weaknesses in criticism and self-criticism, and these sessions turned into lynchings. The group purged itself one by one of members deemed not sufficiently revolutionary. Many of the twelve victims died tied to posts in the open, exposed to the elements, but others were beaten to death or slaughtered with knives. The first died on 31 December and the last on 12 February. The United Red Army leaders later did not admit that they had killed, but called it death by defeatism (敗北死 Haiboku shi? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets)). In mid-February two men escaped, and the remaining paramilitaries decided to abandon their mountain base. But the police had already closed in on them. Tsuneo Mori and Hiroko Nagata were caught and then the others, but five militants escaped, took a woman hostage, and held out for nine days in a holiday lodge, in the Asama-Sanso incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asama-Sanso_incident). By the end of the siege they had shot and killed two policemen and a civilian. In 1977, the Red Army hijacked a plane and made it land in the old Dhaka Airport, at that time there was also an air force mutiny going on in Dhaka. After negotiations led by Vice President Sattar, the terrorists released 2/3 of the hostages and flew off to another location. United Red Army leader Tsuneo Mori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuneo_Mori) killed himself in prison on 1 January 1973. The second in command, Hiroko Nagata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroko_Nagata) and Hiroshi Sakaguchi (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hiroshi_Sakaguchi&action=edit&redlink=1) were sentenced to death. Nagata died on 5 February 2011 from brain cancer while still being held in a detention facility. Sakaguchi is still alive in prison.
