Films on terrorism captivate Germans


December 04, 2008 The latest volley was "Mogadischu," a two-hour telefilm that aired Sunday on public channel ARD that follows the 1977 hijacking of a planeload of German tourists by Palestinians sympathetic to the RAF. Some 7.3 million Germans tuned in, a 21% market share, and 5.8 million stayed on for interviews with the survivors on ARD's top-rated talk show "Anne Will." With ticket receipts at $22 million and counting, Germany's official entry for the foreign-language Oscar is a local boxoffice hit as well.
