Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (1981)

aka: We Children From Bahnhof Zoo

This film portrays the drug scene in Berlin in the 1970's, following tape recordings of Christiane F. Fourteen-year-old Christiane lives with her mother and little sister in a typical multi-story apartment building in Berlin. She's fascinated by the “Sound,” a new disco with most modern equipment. Although she's legally too young, she asks a friend to take her. There she meets Detlef, who's in a clique where everybody's on drugs. Step by step she gets drawn deeper into the scene. David Bowie appears as himself. (In German language, with English subtitles).
