• Plot: Fatherland (aka Singing the Blues in Red, 1986) is singular director Ken Loach's excursion into the world of European cinema, an ambitious film—written by Trevor Griffiths (Reds)—about an East German singer-songwriter (Gerulf Pannach) who exchanges the political repression of his home country for the new pressures of capitalism in the West.
