German Cinema Classics: 'Fear Eats the Soul', an interracial, intergenerational love story

It was the film that made German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder famous - an interracial, intergenerational love story called 'Fear Eats the Soul'

As part of the Talking Movies German Cinema Classics month, it's the choice of filmmaker Anthony Fabian.

Made in 1974 and starring Brigitte Mira and El Hedi ben Salem, the couple's relationship is met with open racism from West German society.
