    Synopsis

    Embedded into the turbulent history of the 1980s with HIV epidemic, cocaine wave and Ronald Reagan's fight against organized crime, REEPERBAHN SPECIAL UNIT 65 tells the story of Germany's famous red-light district and the cat-and-mouse game between Special Unit 65 and its illustrious adversaries: the 'Godfather of Reeperbahn' Wilfrid Schulz, the US Mafia and corrupt police officers, rivaling pimp gangs, Hells Angels and youth gangs as well as serial killer Werner Pinzner, whose murderous spree is mind-blowing to this very day and who shoots directly into the heart of Special Unit 65.
