Fatherland (released as Singing the Blues in Red in the US) is a 1986 film about a German singer-songwriter, directed by Ken Loach and starring  [de],  [fr], Cristine Rose and Sigfrit Steiner.

The budget was £884,000.[1]

The film is one of Loach's least-popular films, being referred to as "a heavy-handed and absurd political drama" in MIT's newspaper The Tech[2] and Loach said in a 2016 Guardian interview that he "made a mess" of the film.[3] As the film was partly in German, its audience was limited in English-speaking countries. Between its cinematic release and the 2013 DVD release, the film was rare.
