Plot Synopsis

A PERFECT CRIME is a docuseries that investigates the 1991 killing of politician Detlev Rohwedder, an unsolved mystery at the heart of Germany's tumultuous reunification. Rohwedder was shot as he stood by a window in his Dusseldorf home, but insiders understood the danger he was in. A Red Army Faction letter claims responsibility for the killing, but a lack of clues stalls the investigation. Now, former RAF members come forward. The precision of the assassination raises suspicions among the authorities. What was the motivation -- and who benefited from Rohwedder's death? Rohwedder becomes a convenient scapegoat as the desperate and enraged take to the streets. A new suspect emerges, yet the mystery only deepens.
