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

At the trial of a man suspected of soliciting minors for sex, a reporter noticed a girl in the witness stand. He approached her for an interview that turned into a shocking bestseller and then harrowing cinematic journey to the very depths of heroine hell. David Bowie contributed to the film by writing and performing the soundtrack and he can be seen on stage in the film. Not for the faint-hearted but essential viewing as it shows a unique historical snapshot of Berlin’s underbelly. Presented in German with English subtitles.
