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

This movie portrays the drug scene in Berlin in the 1970s, following tape recordings of Christiane F. 14-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 the most modern equipment. Although legally she's 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. The film is based on the autobiographical bestselling book by Christiane Felsherin. The movie and book acquired a cult status as soon as it was released. Christiane's story was a great shock to German society at the time, as the problem of drug addiction and prostitution among children and teenagers had not attracted such attention
