Die Stille nach dem Schuss is a 2000 German film that was released in English as The Legend of Rita. The film focuses on collusion between the East German secret police, or Stasi, and the West German terrorist group Red Army Faction (RAF). The fictional characters all have close parallels to real-life RAF members. The script was reportedly based on events in the life of Inge Viett.
