01:15 Bacterial World – Microbes That Rule Our World Documentary
Bubonic plague, typhoid and tuberculosis: over the course of human history, we’ve fallen victim to countless diseases caused by bacteria. But only around one percent of known bacteria are pathogens. This documentary looks at the microorganisms that live in the bodies of living things - from tiny insects to mammals such as humans. Bacteria are everywhere: in the ground, in the water and in the air. From the tiniest insects to human beings, there’s no creature on earth that’s not populated by bacteria. Scientists are only just starting to understand their complex role. Without bacteria, the human digestive, immune and even reproductive systems wouldn’t work. The human body contains ten times as many bacteria as it does cells of its own. Scientists are only now beginning to understand why. Without these tiny residents, many things wouldn’t work. Bacteria may have played a bigger role in the evolution and development of species than previously thought. Thanks to its symbiotic relationship with bacteria, the bobtail squid, which lives off the coast of Hawaii, is able to light up and defend itself against predators. A marine worm off the coast of Elba can feed itself without having a digestive system, and a species of wasp reproduces alone with the help of bacteria. How great is the invisible power of microbes? A fascinating documentary about the tiniest living things.

02:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Angkor Thom – The Great Temple City, Cambodia
The ancient Khmer city of Angkor Thom is located just two kilometers from the huge temple complex of Angkor Wat in modern-day Cambodia. Nine square kilometers in size, it was once home to more people than any medieval city in Europe. Now it is being eroded by nature and faces complete destruction. Founded by the Khmer ruler Jayavarman VII in 1181, Angkor was the centre of the Khmer kingdom for several centuries. The whole ensemble forms a symbolic miniaturized representation of the universe. With impressive monuments, several different ancient urban plans and large water reservoirs, the site is a unique concentration of features testifying to an exceptional civilization. Over the centuries it was destroyed by warfare and colonialism.

saw the light of day in 1865, and their creator, Wilhelm Busch, is considered to be the grandfather of the comic strip. Available in 300 languages and dialects, we ask why the book has been such a huge success. Max and Moritz, a picture story told in rhyming verse, is divided into seven "pranks:" From widow Bolte to tailor Böck. These seven stories form the core of this documentary. A beatboxer, illustrator, poetry slammer, cartoon film students, children, critics and curators explore and develop the images, placing pictures, rhyme and images firmly in the context of today. And what pedagogical value do the deeds of the two scallywags have in our times? The film also takes a look at Wilhelm Busch the humorist and pessimist a man who pursued a quiet life in the country. The contrast between the at times funny and at times brutal pranks and the unspectacular life of their creator makes for an especially interesting documentary.

06:03 Absurdistan – India’s Crazy Northeast Documentary
The tribal areas in northeast India, in Nagaland and the other six federal states, are also called the ‘Seven Sisters’. Hardly any tourists go there due to the poor infrastructure and violent conflicts between clans and the government. And yet the region is captivatingly exotic and full of superlatives. The tribal areas in northeast India are full of extremes. The world’s hottest chilli grows there; the world’s rainiest place is there; the region can lay claim to the world’s longest-ever hunger strike and also to the family with the most children. There are bounty hunters as relics of an old macho culture - and the opposite: areas where women are in charge and the men do as they are told. And there’s the country’s largest rhino and tiger reserve, although poachers and the effects of climate change are a threat to both animals. Major problems include mass poverty and widespread human trafficking, particularly of young women. Filmmaker Markus Spieker reports from a region of extremes - sometimes times idyllic, at other times hellish and torn between tradition and modernity.

09:15 Bad Hombres – Trump, the Wall and Immigration Documentary
‘Bad Hombres‘ - evil men, is how US president Donald Trump describes illegal immigrants from Latin America. He wants to expand the barrier along Mexico’s border. Many migrants try their luck all the same, defying the dangers of the desert and neo-Nazi vigilantes. But who are these people whom Trump wants to keep out? The route from South and Central America toward the US is one of the world’s most traveled migration paths. Some try to acquire visas, others risk their lives crossing the desert. They place themselves at the mercy of traffickers in their desperate bid to escape poverty or the violence of drug gangs. Many are abandoned in the wilderness between Mexico and the US and die of thirst before they can ever reach the Promised Land. While aid organizations set up water depots in the desert to try to save lives, self-declared vigilantes with neo-Nazi backgrounds scour the borderlands for illegal immigrants. In the first months of Donald Trump’s presidency, film-maker Stef Biemans traveled the migrants’ route from Guatemala to the US as he sought to find out who are these people that Trump calls ‘Bad Hombres‘?

14:15 Kenya's Forgotten Children – Documentary
More than 42% of Kenya’s population is under the age of 14. Every child has on average four siblings. Their mothers are often single parents doing their best to feed their children. That’s why they are often on the edge of legality. If they’re caught, the children have no support - they’re on their own, at the mercy of the violence in the slums. Thirteen-year-old Nancy has waited for this moment for a long time: her mother Florence is being released from prison in Nairobi after a six year sentence because of a minor offence. But now that Nancy can at last hug her mother again, she’s scared too. She and her two siblings have spent the last few years living in a relatively protected environment: "The Nest," an emergency hostel for children who’ve effectively been orphaned by circumstance, partly financed by German donations. Nancy didn’t just get a roof over her head there; she also received regular meals and

an education. That’s unusual in Kenya, because secondary schools cost money there. This documentary shows how Kenya is trying to break free from the cycle of poverty and violence.

19:15 Asma al-Assad – The Beautiful Face of the Dictatorship Documentary
Asma al-Assad grew up in London, went to elite schools and had a promising career. Then, as wife of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, she became a beacon of hope for Syria. That hope has come to a gruesome end with the Syrian civil war but the dictator and his wife are still there. And the West still hasn’t found a way of dealing with them. The former ambassador of the European Union to Syria, Frank Hesske, still gets a sparkle in his eyes when he talks about Asma al-Assad, the beautiful First Lady of Syria. She was ‘a darling’, and comparable to Princess Diana - and not just because of her British roots: ‘We diplomats,’ the former ambassador now reveals with surprising honesty, ‘let ourselves be seduced’. Many of the diplomats, politicians and journalists from the West who met the presidential couple during the 11 years after Assad took power and before the civil war broke out shared that fate: they let themselves be duped. Torture, arrests and threats were unleashed on all those who got in the way of the regime - just as under Assad’s father. There’s the famous opposition activist Riad Seif, whose daughter talks about the regime’s humiliations and the constant fear that her family could be taken by the secret police and her father killed. While the country remains as dark as ever, this film looks at Asma al-Assad’s international role as the face of the dictatorship, the woman from London who for a long time managed to make the Assads socially acceptable.

03:15 The Cellist Sol Gabetta – "A Piece of My Soul" Documentary
Instinctive certainty, phenomenal bow technique, a velvety tone - the critics are constantly beside themselves with praise. The Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta, who plays around 150 concerts every year, has long been an integral part of the classical concert scene - a portrait of a classical music star, including works by Vivaldi, Elgar, Schumann, Bloch and Shostakovich. Born in Argentina, her scholarships took her to Switzerland via Spain. Her parents and siblings all went with her - they all now live in the Basel area. Sol Gabetta discovered her love for the cello and its beautiful warm sound as a four-year-old. Her older brother Andrés was already playing the violin and so she chose the larger instrument for herself. Since then, she and her cello have been inseparable. Gabetta has a wide repertoire, with baroque and contemporary works as well as the traditional solo repertoire. But it’s not her musical sensibility as much as her personal charisma that has won her such a devoted following. Her performances invite her audiences to enter her world of ideas and feelings.

09:15 Gustav Stresemann and the Weimar Republic – The Failure of Germany’s First Democracy Documentary
This historical documentary argues that Germany’s first democracy didn’t have to fail. Gustav Stresemann became chancellor when the young Weimar Republic was plunged into chaos in the year of crises 1923. Even though Germany was still suffering from the consequences of a lost war and the Treaty of Versailles, the republic experienced a period of relative stability until 1929. After Germany had lost the First World War, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr region to squeeze billions in reparations out of the country and gain control over crucial industries. Inflation reached its peak. Communist rebellions loomed and the radical right demanded a nationalist dictatorship. The old system collapsed when Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated in 1918. Becoming chancellor at a time like that was ‘political suicide’, Stresemann wrote to his wife. The Weimar Republic was Germany’s first attempt at parliamentary democracy. It failed in 1933 when Adolf Hitler was made chancellor.

09:15 Certain Death – Cato Bontjes van Beek's Resistance to the Nazis Documentary
Resisting Hitler and the Nazis, young Cato Bontjes van Beek may have been a little reckless and careless, but she was also courageous and steadfast. She was executed by the Nazi regime on 5 August 1943. This film portrays the short life of an unusual woman. Born in Fischerhude near Bremen in 1920, Cato was the daughter of dancer Olga Breling and potter Jan Bontjes van Beek. Cato had a carefree childhood. The freedom of this life, her books, the debates in the artists’ house she grew up in all turned her into a confident young woman. Gliding was her biggest passion. In 1938 she moved to Berlin. She enjoyed the city but she also noticed the way it was changing. When the war broke out, she became active. Together with her sister, she helped prisoners of war who were being transported through the city in trains, giving them cigarettes, soap and medications. Then Cato met Libertas Schulze-Boysen. She and her husband Harro were members of a resistance group later known as the Red Orchestra. In the autumn of 1942, Cato and many other members of the Red Orchestra were arrested, tried and sentenced to death. She was beheaded in Berlin’s Plötzensee prison on 5 August 1943.

19:15 New Life in the Death Strip – Documentary
The inner-German border, known as the ‘death strip’, extended for 270km between East and West Germany, dividing villages and separating friends and families until November 1989. It was also a place of refuge for rare plant and animal species such as whinchats, common adders and orchids. A green strip, a living reminder of the history of a divided Germany - that was the vision of conservationists right after the Wall came down. For a while after Germany’s reunification, the nature conservation project fell into oblivion. There was more important work to do. Intensive agriculture, road construction and mining ripped into the former death strip; the Kolonnenweg - the border patrol route on the East German side - became overgrown with grass. However, slowly but surely, the conservationists made their voices heard. Others joined their cause. In some locations along the former border, Rotes Höhenvieh cattle breed and water buffalo keep the death strip clear of vegetation, as can easily be seen from the air. Photographer Jürgen Holzhausen, who has worked in the border region between Hesse, Bavaria and Thuringia for more than 30 years, is pleased that ground-nesting birds stand a chance again. BUND - Friends of the Earth Germany - organizes excursions for school groups, while a forester from Hesse and her colleague from Thuringia are planning to clear a small section of the Kolonnenweg to allow the common adder to return. As part of the ‘Baumkreuz’ initiative, Ralf-Uwe Beck has spent every one of the past 25 years planting trees along a section of the border fence near Ifta that has been intentionally preserved.

"Venice is a city so unusual that you can have any real idea of it unless you have not actually seen it. Maps, plans, models and travelogues are not enough, you have to see it," the Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni wrote in the 18th century. But of course, there were no films back then, otherwise Goldoni might have qualified his statement. Our film relates the story of the city and seeks out the places every visitor to Venice must see. Its location in the middle of the lagoon gives Venice the charm of a unique and magical moated Castle.

19:15 The Mubende Coffee Plantations and the Bitter Taste of Eviction – Documentary
In August 2001 4,000 residents of the Mubende district of Uganda were forced off their land to make way for a new plantation serving the local subsidiary of Hamburg-based Neumann, the world’s leading raw coffee trader. The military razed houses and huts to the ground in four villages, destroying fields and food supplies. The forced evacuation cost the lives of a number of locals. While one of many cases of land-grabbing in Africa, Mubende was among the first to be properly documented. Many of the peasants evicted lost everything they had. With the help of human rights groups they took the Ugandan government and the Neumann concern to court. The trial was dragged out over several years, however, until a ruling was finally reached in March 2013 - in favor of the plaintiffs. In the spring of 2015 the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural and Social Rights looked into the Mubende case, and called on the Ugandan government to restore the rights of the expelled small scale farmers. In July that year, however, the original judgment was provisionally overturned by the domestic appeals court. The case is now still pending. The victims fear they still have a long struggle ahead of them. This report is the result of several years’ investigation, and reconstructs the events surrounding the mass expulsions.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Haeinsa – The Temple of the Black Art, South Korea
The Buddhist monastery of Haeinsa in South Korea was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. A temple, as beautiful as a calm lake, they say. Haeinsa’s gates symbolize the path to enlightenment, a path with many stages: at the end, everything is "nullified," there is no more dualism, no coexistence of mind and body, life and death, or good and evil. The enlightened leaves everything. The Haeinsa Temple was founded high in the nearly inaccessible Gaya Mountains in the year 802 CE and expanded and restored several times in the centuries after. It houses the Tripitaka Koreana, a collection of the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism in 1496 volumes with more than 80,000 perfectly preserved wooden printing blocks. They started making the Tripitaka Koreana here in the 13th Century, some 200 years before Gutenberg invented the modern printing press. And the same printing blocks are used as print templates even today.

Drones aka "unmanned aerial vehicles" are at the vanguard of tomorrow’s military technologies. Their operation via remote control has drawn comparisons with video games. Will this new development bring us safety and security, or bring us closer to the nightmare of a surveillance state? What do the creator of "Call of Duty" and a professor of nano-architecture have in common? Dave Anthony and James Gimzewski are both experimenters. Concrete or virtual, with quadcopters, futuristic weapons or artificial intelligence, they play with human and technical possibilities. How real are their visions of the future? How will the deployment of these new technologies affect our lives and societies? The unmanned assault aircraft of the future are modeled after predators in the animal kingdom. Perfectly functioning machines register the movement of any individual or object - at sea, on land and in the air. And they can kill autonomously. The technology has repercussions not only for our concept of war, but also our concept of ethics and morality. Karin Jurschik was granted permission to film at Israel Aerospace Industries and General Atomics in the US. Her documentary http://www.bildersturm- film.de/krieg_spiele takes viewers on a journey into a disturbing world in which the machines appear, and perhaps are, superior to humans - while we watch in fascination.

19:15 Che Guevara – The Faces of Che Documentary
In 1955, in Mexico, Ernesto Guevara met Fidel Castro, leader of the July 26th movement. He was one of 86 men who left with Castro for Cuba in November 1956 on a motorboat called Granma. Only a small number were to survive the struggle against the regime of Fulgencio Batista. Our documentary looks at the good and bad sides of Ernesto Guevara. Castro and Guevara became the core of the rebel army in the Sierra Maestra. Guevara, from Argentina, began as a doctor but soon rose through the ranks to become a respected commander. The son of a bourgeois family, he remains to this day the face of the revolution. But
DW (English) | THU 2017-10-05 17/98
there was also a dark side: he was uncompromising towards himself and others. He had few scruples about executing political opponents, often without a trial. As head of the Cuban National Bank and Minister for Industrial and Agrarian Reform, Guevara shared responsibility for the collapse of the Cuban economy. In November 1966, he left for Bolivia, where he and other Cuban fighters founded the Bolivian Liberation Movement. He was wounded in battle and taken prisoner. On 08 October 1967, Che was shot dead by the Bolivian military with the approval of the CIA. It was the moment when Che Guevara definitively became a symbol of revolution, the face of Marxist-Leninist ideology - and a pop star.

09:15 By Train across Sri Lanka – Documentary
In the 19th century the British built a railway in what was then their colony of Ceylon. Their idea was to transport goods such as tea from the highlands to the port of Colombo. Today it’s mainly only locals and tourists who use the so-called "Main Line." The route is considered one of the most picturesque in the whole of Asia.
DW (English) | FRI 2017-10-06 19/98
Our trip takes us from the capital, Colombo, to Ella in the highlands. Our first stop is one of the country’s largest elephant orphanages. And then on to Kandy, the former capital of the Singhalese kingdom. The city is home to the famous Temple of the Tooth, which is said to house the Buddha’s top left canine. The train then winds its way further up into the highlands. We watch tea pickers at work and go to a tea factory to discover where the aroma comes from. Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka’s highest town at an altitude of almost 1900 meters, where a racecourse still brings the colonial era back to life. The stations have also retained their own colonial charm: in 1901, a signaling system was set up to make the long journey safer. And those suffering from the altitude can catch their breath at the final stop, the spa in Ella.

03:15 The Poor Rich – Documentary
Why do "poor" millionaires need self-help groups? Wealth research is still in its infancy as a discipline. We have much fewer data on "the rich" than on "the poor." How should we measure and define wealth? Do riches and money make you happy? The wealth researcher Thomas Druyen is the only person so far to present a quantitative-scientific survey of wealth and property. Druyen interviewed almost 500 rich people in Germany whose net value averages € 23m per person. Experience in the US has shown that wealth does not necessarily lead to happiness. The first self-help groups for millionaires have formed there as the rich wrestle not just with fears about losing their money but also that society around them is more interested in their cash than in themselves as people. The behavioral economist Hannah Schildberg-Hörisch has investigated the effects of wealth and poverty on personality. Her research suggests that rich people are often more willing to take risks and more open to new experiences. "The Poor Rich" explores the isolated world of the affluent and presents the surprising findings of wealth research.

19:15 Europe's Muslims – On the Road with Nazan Gökdemir and Hamed Abdel-Samad Part 1: Germany Documentary
Rarely has there been so much disagreement about Islam as since the terrorist attacks in recent years. Is it a religion of violence? Journalist Nazan Gökdemir and tauthor and acclaimed critic of Islam Hamed Abdel-Samad have travelled around Europe to meet some of its Muslims. They went with many questions, much uncertainty and a great need to talk. What do we really know about Islam and Muslims today? How do they live? What roles do tradition, faith, rules, family and politics play? What moves them? And how do they see themselves in Europe? In Berlin, Gökdemir and Abdel-Samad meet Islamic studies expert Bassam Tibi, who came up with the vision of ‘Euro-Islam’. They also talk to author Sineb El Masrar ("Muslim Girls") about emancipation in Islam. In Paris, they meet a defender of French secularism, Sheikh Bencheikh, the former grand mufti of Marseille. Police officer Hamid Benichou also takes them to the notorious Schaerbeek neighborhood in Brussels, recently in the headlines as a hotbed of terrorism. And they visit the Great Mosque in Grenada, Spain - where Muslims first found their way into Europe via the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century.

14:15 Fighting Back – Women in Egypt Documentary
Despite their involvement in the Arab Spring, Egypt’s women reaped no benefits. Given the advances of Islamism and the entrenchment of the old state they have little or no chance of a self-determined life in terms of politics and sexuality, modernity and tradition. The British-Egyptian journalist Natasha Wheatley embarks on her own personal journey through the land of the Nile. Natasha Wheatley delves deep into Egyptian society, where world collide and disputes over gender roles often divide entire families. In this social climate, people have trouble conducting relationships, while sexual harassment is an aspect of everyday life. To protect themselves, some Egyptian women have set up the platform "HarassMap", where they post reports whenever they are attacked. Hence the map of Cairo features countless big and small red dots that show which districts are especially dangerous for women.

19:15 Brain Overload – Documentary
Digital stress can be caused by smartphones, computers, tablets: these digital devices are involved in almost every aspect of modern life. This permanent information overload is being blamed for mental exhaustion, burnouts and depression. Backed up by a range of recent studies, our documentary looks at the risks of always being online. About half the world’s population now has access to the Internet. Every day, we exchange huge amounts of data via our digital devices. E-Mails, blogs and social media - they all demand our attention and have become a fixture of our private and professional lives. Now, however, there are scientific studies looking at digital stress. One extensive analysis of students belonging to Generation Y shows that their average span of attention for computer screens has fallen to a mere 45 seconds. Research conducted back in 2004 put the average at three minutes. It is almost impossible to avoid this flood of information - mobile devices keep us in constant contact with our families, friends, colleagues and various networks around the world. But always being online and always being exposed to data can trigger concentration problems and mental exhaustion - in the worst cases, people suffer from depression and burnouts. What psychological effects does this seemingly endless stream of data have? Are there limits to the brain’s cognitive abilities? Should we simply adapt to the new reality or fight for the right to be offline? In our report, neuroscientists, psychologists and entrepreneurs detail the effects of this information overload on the human brain.

19:15 Astro-Tourism – Feeling the Universe Documentary
Have you ever tried looking at the stars at night? How many can you see? Light pollution is threatening to blot out the night sky in much of the developed world. But Spain is considered the best place in Europe for stargazing and has become a magnet for astronomers, amateur and professional alike. The stars have influenced human culture, religion and science for millennia. Yet increasing light pollution in urban agglomerations has made it next to impossible to observe the night sky in many places. The majority of people in Europe are affected by this relatively new form of pollution. Those who do want to gaze at the stars often find that their best bet is Spain, which is attracting visitors from all over the world for this very reason. The night sky has become a cultural resource in the 21st century, making it an economic factor that may possibly even contribute to sustainable development. Our documentary takes us closer to the stars with spectacular images of the heavens.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Troy – Of Poetry and Archeology, Turkey
The tragic story of Troy was immortalized by Homer in "The Iliad". Homer’s Troy was part of the Hittite Empire. This ancient epic poem, that has provided fundamental inspiration for European literature, could prove to be a reliable source of information about Anatolian civilization. The fabled city of Troy holds plenty of secrets - and has taken scientists on a journey from ancient myth to modern-day reality. For two millennia, Troy was considered a legendary center of Aegean civilization. Now it is becoming increasingly clear: this city really did exist. Troy’s ruins can be found on the mound of Hisarlik at Canakkale on the Dardanelles in Turkey. The 19th century German entrepreneur and archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann was already convinced he had found Homer’s fabled city. But tracing its history involves the excavation of nine strata from the various periods of occupation, dating from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman Empire, including several periods of great prosperity. Today, Troy is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Thanks to the latest technology being deployed at the site, history is now being rewritten.

19:15 The Business of Poverty – How Food Companies are Conquering New Markets Documentary
Industrial countries are saturated and food companies are registering almost no growth in them anymore. That’s why major manufacturers have shifted their focus to new markets. Multinationals are making big profits in threshold nations and developing countries. This film uses São Paulo and Kenya as two examples to demonstrate how big companies are making money at the expense of people’s health. They promise healthy branded quality for everyone, but what they mainly sell are convenience products containing lots of salt, sugar and flavor enhancers, leading to growing obesity and diseases such as diabetes in societies that are already burdened by poverty and malnutrition. For many people in threshold nations and developing countries, convenience foods made in Europe are a status symbol, so multinational corporations In Brazil and Kenya are cashing in on this image by targeting the poor with their advertising campaigns. So-called PPP or "Popularly Positioned Products" - brand-name products in small packages - are sold for just a few cents. Women from the slums are trained to distribute the products in their private social circles. These jobs are highly sought-after and there’s no shortage of women, most of them unskilled, who are very keen to work for international food companies. The companies like to show themselves taking social responsibility in areas where the state does not. Critics like Dr. Carlos Monteiro, Professor of Nutrition and Health at the University of São Paulo, say that’s an total contradiction:

the companies are distributing unhealthy products en masse to the people while at the same time presenting themselves as benefactors: "Greenwashing" at the expense of the poorest in society.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Prague – A Journey through History, Czech Republic
Prague is one of the great European cities. Known as the "Golden City," its thousand-year history is reflected in a beautifully intact cityscape of Gothic and Baroque architecture. The abundance of art treasures in Prague is almost overwhelming, ranging from the grandeur of Prague Castle, to the nearly 200 palaces and the many baroque churches. They all testify to the city’s rich cultural history. European history was written here on more than one occasion. In one instance, the so-called Defenestration of Prague in 1618 led to the start of the Thirty Years’ War, which would turn most of Europe into a battlefield. Regardless of the many ups and downs of history, the city on the River Vltava has always had three souls: Bohemians, Germans and Jews have all helped to shape the face of Prague. Legend has it that Prague was originally founded by Libuse, a princess with a gift of prophecy who became ruler over the Czech Lands. According to the legend, she began the Przemyslid dynasty, the first Bohemian royal line.

19:15 Lost Children – 30,000 Minors Missing Documentary
Over 200,000 underage migrants reached Europe since 2014. Tens of thousands of them have disappeared. They were either taken from reception areas for asylum seekers or were never registered in the first place. They live in a parallel world that remains invisible to most Europeans. They are often forced into prostitution and drug trafficking. This documentary goes looking for them. According to official data, 10,000 unaccompanied refugee children and young people have disappeared in Europe over the last three years, although unofficial estimates put the number as high as 30,000. Greece, Italy and Germany have simply lost track of them, and the authorities report them as missing. But who are these children? How can they just disappear? Filmmaker Chiara Sambuchi goes looking for them in large cities, ports, crowded refugee camps and secret hiding places. The reality of the children is hard to bear. The two Moroccan brothers try to scale the high walls of the Spanish exclave of Melilla to get to the ferries that will take them to the mainland. Mi Lad's parents paid a trafficker in Afghanistan to get him away from the Taliban. Farid has made it to Rome and talks about the pedophiles that lure children into hotel rooms with a few euros and the prospect of a hot shower. A 14-year-old girl from Nigeria was lucky: she found refuge in a special facility after being forced into prostitution.

02:30 Rooms of Wonder – Gottfried Leibniz and Meditations on Knowledge Documentary
There have been few intellectual figures like the 17th century polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, philosopher and mathematician. Author of ground-breaking work on calculus he also developed a binary system, a concept later to become the basis of modern computer language. 300 years after his death the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities still hasn’t fully processed his extensive works. Leibniz was interested in every area of knowledge, from mining technology to astronomy. And he wanted to make this world accessible to all in cabinets of curiosities, or wonder rooms, the precursors of today’s museums. Leibniz recognized that the discoveries and inventions of his time should be something everybody could experience for themselves - and that this should be fun; just as many museums today favor interactive approaches to promote their exhibits. Leibniz did not live to see the transformation of numerous princely ‘cabinets of curiosities’ into museums. To mark the 300th anniversary of his death, the filmmakers discover the visionary Leibniz in the museums and research institutions of Berlin that are still in the process of decoding his voluminous writings.

19:15 Europe's Muslims – On the Road with Nazan Gökdemir and Hamed Abdel-Samad Part 2: Belgium, France & Spain Documentary
Rarely has there been so much disagreement about Islam as since the terrorist attacks in recent years. Is it a religion of violence? Journalist Nazan Gökdemir and tauthor and acclaimed critic of Islam Hamed Abdel-Samad have travelled around Europe to meet some of its Muslims. They went with many questions, much uncertainty and a great need to talk. What do we really know about Islam and Muslims today? How do they live? What roles do tradition, faith, rules, family and politics play? What moves them? And how do they see themselves in Europe? In Berlin, Gökdemir and Abdel-Samad meet Islamic studies expert Bassam Tibi, who came up with the vision of ‘Euro-Islam’. They also talk to author Sineb El Masrar ("Muslim Girls") about emancipation in Islam. In Paris, they meet a defender of French secularism, Sheikh Bencheikh, the former grand mufti of Marseille. Police officer Hamid Benichou also takes them to the notorious Schaerbeek neighborhood in Brussels, recently in the headlines as a hotbed of terrorism. And they visit the Great Mosque in Grenada, Spain - where Muslims first found their way into Europe via the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century.

Loved, hated and respected throughout the world: FC Bayern Munich has the power to fascinate and to polarize. But what makes the club so special? The team won its first European title 50 years ago. It was the beginning of a model success story. This two-part documentary traces the irresistible rise of one of the biggest clubs in world soccer.

Reporters Niels Eixler and Manuel Vering covered more than 50,000 kilometers in search of what makes the club so special. They accompanied the team through the Champions League season, talked to legends such as Philipp Lahm, Oliver Kahn and Uli Hoeness, visiting Samuel Kuffour in Ghana, Giovane Élber in Brazil and Kanata Tokumoto, the rising star in Japan.

19:15 Stammheim – The Red Army Faction on Trial Documentary
The terror of the Red Army Faction was one of the biggest domestic political challenges faced by the old West Germany. The years from 1974 to 1977 were among the most bloody in the history of left-wing terrorism. The trial of the leaders of the Red Army Faction was supposed to put an end to this terrorism through legal means, but it divided society and contributed to the violence escalating in the ‘German Autumn’ of 1977. By 1974, terrorism in West Germany had seemed all but defeated: the hard core of the Red Army Faction had been arrested and the student protests were diminishing. Many believed that the sentencing of Red Army Faction members Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe in a proper trial would put the whole nightmare to bed. But the years from1974 to 1977 were the bloodiest in the history of left-wing terrorism in West Germany. Assassinations and kidnappings kept the public on tenterhooks; the state fought back with every means it had available. Innocent people got caught up between the fronts. By the end, the abduction and murder of Hanns Martin Schleyer, the president of the German employers’ association, and the hijacking of the Lufthansa aircraft to Mogadishu in Somalia made the so-called "German Autumn" which has its 40th anniversary in 2017, the biggest domestic political crisis West Germany taced. The new, high-security courtroom in Stammheim prison was the scene of bitter battles between the defendants and public prosecutors, between judges and

the lawyers for the defense. The nation was shaken by hunger strikes, wire tapping scandals, accusations of torture through solitary confinement, and suicides in jail. Instead of processing the terrorist activities in a legal setting, the trial split the nation and contributed to the escalation of the events. When the verdict was announced on 28 April 1977, Ulrike Meinhof was already dead; the three others were sentenced to life in prison. But how did things get so out of control? Who was to blame? Could the escalation have been avoided? These are all questions this film explores.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Vladimir, Susdal and Kideksha – The Cradle of Russia, Russia
The towns of Vladimir and Suzdal are located in the European part of Russia, some 200 km north east of Moscow. Together with a number of other historical Russian settlements, they make up what is known as the Golden Ring. In the 12th and 13th century an architectural style was established in the principality of Vladimir- Suzdal that became influential throughout the entire country. The Prince of Vladimir ordered the construction of a new castle on the banks of the Kamenka River. He also had a cathedral built within the Suzdal Kremlin. With its golden doors, the church is a stunning 12th century masterpiece. In 1238, the Mongols invaded northeastern Russia and remained in power for more than two centuries. After their retreat, Moscow began to increasingly gain importance, eclipsing the significance of the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal. But its architectural beauty remained untouched - at least until the Russian Revolution in 1917 when many Orthodox churches and monasteries fell into disuse or were destroyed. Nonetheless, a few of the area’s 30 or more monasteries survived the iconoclasm of the communist era. Today, the area’s ecclesiastical buildings are being restored - and are once more filled with prayer and song. One of Russia’s oldest churches near Vladimir has withstood the ravages of history. The Church of the Intercession of the Virgin was built in 1165. This wonderful pale sandstone creation with its pared- down lines is a very visible symbol of Russian piety.

19:15 Paul Celan – The Voice of Humanity Documentary
Jewish poet Paul Celan spent his entire life desperately seeking a home and stability. An anarchic and sensitive charmer, he went from Bukovina, or Buchenland, to Paris via Vienna. The darkness of the trauma of the Holocaust haunted his travels until he drowned himself in the Seine in 1970 at the age of 49. This documentary tells the story of an unconditionally loving man longingly seeking insight and common understanding. His passionate love for Austrian author Ingeborg Bachmann - the daughter of a Nazi from Carinthia - remained a painful episode for the Jewish author throughout his later life. Again and again he went to Germany, the land of the murderers and the language he loved and in which he wrote. For the first time, the poet's son, Eric Celan, gives a video interview about his father and how Celan's psychological crises cast a pall on the life of the family. The documentary tells the story of a man who loved absolutely, a man who longed to understand and be understood.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Fontenay – The Monastery of Poverty, France
By the end of the late 11th century Christianity had become well established in France and the aristocratic abbots in the Benedictine monasteries enjoyed comfortable lives. The monastic ideals of poverty and humility seemed to have been forgotten. Then a new order calling for a return to Christian ideals and a simple lifestyle appeared in Burgundy. The monks called themselves "Cistercians." The monks built their first monastery in Citeaux and later called themselves the Order of Cistercians. It grew quickly and new monasteries arose including Fontenay, founded in 1118 by Bernard of Clairvaux. The well-preserved abbey is seen as a prototype of Cistercian architecture and now attracts some 12,000 visitors a year. The film examines the life of the Cistercians and outlines the history of Fontenay.

19:15 Feminists Insha'allah! – The Story of Arab Feminism Documentary
This is the little-known story of Arab feminism. Filmed in Morocco, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia and featuring previously unreleased archives and exclusive interviews with activists, it approaches Arab feminism from a historical perspective. We see how female emancipation has been shaped by nationalism and colonialism and hear from the Muslim women who are fighting for their liberation. The Arab Spring of 2011 was not the first time women took to the streets in the Arab World. It was just the latest in a series of campaigns by feminist activists since the 19th century. Largely unnoticed in the Western World, ideas to improve the lot of women in the patriarchal societies of the Arab World were already being published more than a century ago. In the 1930s and 1940s, women fought against colonialism and for equal rights. But neither those efforts nor the upheaval of the Arab Spring brought with them the desired emancipation of women. Women must still fear for their rights. Commentators speak of an Islamist backlash partly supported by women. Women’s movements are heterogeneous and at times paradoxical but they remain alive and kicking. And the struggle goes on. Who knows, perhaps the next Arab Spring will be triggered by feminism?

02:30 Putin's Farmer – Stefan Dürr and his Russian Empire Documentary
Stefan Dürr from Germany is one of Russia’s most important agro-businesspeople. Dürr produces in six locations, deep in Siberia. His products include milk and grains, seeds and meat; he also sells agricultural machinery. With more than 100,000 tons of milk per year, he’s one of Russia’s four biggest milk producers. Stefan Dürr has his own empire in Russia. He owns at least 200,000 hectares of land and has 60,000 cows and 4,000 employees. Two years ago Vladimir Putin personally handed him the certificate of Russian citizenship. Russia wants to become independent of European Union imports and Dürr’s milk empire benefits from this policy. That’s because he also receives some of the state subsidies that are being invested in building up Russia’s agriculture. Wherever Dürr shows up, be it at the Agrofarm agricultural trade show in Moscow, or at the regional ministries of Kaluga and Voronezh, people listen to him and rely on him. We meet a man who waxes lyrical about how much he has been able to grow in Russia, how he has been able to buy land and develop as an entrepreneur and also get involved in politics. Dürr is an ice hockey fan: ‘Germany,’ he says, ‘is like football: very thought through, following strict rules. Fouls are punished, dives could be worth it. In Russia it’s like ice hockey: faster, more spontaneous, tougher - and yet still following fair rules.’ It’s a game that Dürr seems to have a talent for.

19:15 Scientific Myths – Documentary
Insight is a constant process: what was accepted as true yesterday could be scientifically refuted today. But how do myths become embedded, even in the scientific community? Why can’t we simply replace old insights with new ones? Everything from methodological errors to manipulation can play a role. New myths aren’t just created in spite of science, but sometimes even with its help. One example: detoxing is a very popular myth at the moment. Removing toxins from the body is based on an understanding of medicine dating back to the early 20th Century. But modern medical experts say this notion of a build-up of toxins is nonsense. So why is it so hard to debunk the detox myth when it has no scientific basis whatever? Dr. Lilian Krist, an epidemiologist at the Charité Hospital in Berlin says: "People want to believe in something. For many, these diet hypes and lifestyle trends have become a substitute religion." New studies often throw up more questions than answers and more room for wrong interpretations - or even deliberately false conclusions. Once wrong information has become embedded in our brains, it’s difficult to get rid of again. Cognitive psychologist Ullrich Ecker has discovered that established myths people have believed in for generations are incredibly resilient. There’s even a boomerang effect: the more we try to destroy a myth, the more people believe in it.

19:15 The Mia san Mia Phenomenon – FC Bayern - An International Success Story, Part 2 Documentary
Loved, hated and respected throughout the world: FC Bayern Munich has the power to fascinate and to polarize. But what makes the club so special? The team won its first European title 50 years ago. It was the beginning of a model success story. This two-part documentary traces the irresistible rise of one of the biggest clubs in world soccer. "We became more than a football club a long time ago. We are a home to people, a kind of surrogate family" (Uli Hoeness). Reporters Niels Eixler and Manuel Vering covered more than 50,000 kilometers in search of what makes the club so special. They accompanied the team through the Champions League season, talked to legends such as Philipp Lahm, Oliver Kahn and Uli Hoeness, visiting Samuel Kuffour in Ghana, Giovane Élber in Brazil and Kanata Tokumoto, the rising star in Japan. "I absorbed all the values personified by FC Bayern, because you can only achieve success through total identification with the club." (Oliver Kahn). In addition to 60 national and international titles, the club now boasts 300,000 members. Our report also features fans from New York, Rio and Nazareth telling us their own personal stories. "It doesn’t matter whether you are a Palestinian or a Jew: when Bayern score, you hug everybody (Kamal Abu Lail). From local heroes to global stars: the story of Bayern Munich.

19:15 By Train from New Orleans to New York – Documentary
This train journey begins in the "cradle of jazz" - New Orleans. Three famous express trains start and terminate here: the City of New Orleans, the Sunset Limited and the Crescent, named after a New Orleans neighborhood. Every morning at 7 a.m. the Crescent sets off from New Orleans on its 1,377-mile journey from the Deep South to pulsating New York City. The distance is covered in around 31 hours. The route takes in various famous cities on the journey northeast. Birmingham, Alabama is also known as "Bombingham" after the attacks launched there by the Ku Klux Klan during the civil rights movement era between 1947 and 1965. The train then heads to Atlanta, the largest city in Georgia. Charlotte in North Carolina was named nearly 250 years ago after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the German wife of Britain’s King George III. Our next stop is Washington D.C., capital of the United States since 1800. Beforehand that honor had gone to a city further north: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed in 1776. The final stop on this unique train journey is New York City aka the "Big Apple".

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Santa Maria delle Grazie and "The Last Supper", Italy
Donato d'Angelo Bramante and Leonardo da Vinci, two great masters of the Renaissance, left their indelible mark on the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Bramante's ensemble of dome, cloister and sacristy was groundbreaking, and Leonardo’s "Last Supper" is one of the most famous paintings in the world - and the only one on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Leonardo da Vinci himself shows us the beauty of this building, leading us to his painting of "The Last Supper," which fills a whole wall in the monks’ dining room. Time, damp and an American bomb had left it virtually destroyed, and restorer Guiseppina Brambilla created an almost new image during decades of painstaking work. The architecture of the place is also unique, Bramante’s creation a gem in the service of paradise. The Santa Maria delle Grazie Monastery in Milan is a perfect example of the harmony of the high Renaissance.

19:15 The Real October – Artists in Times of Revolution Documentary
In October 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power during the Russian Revolution. Katrin Rothe’s animated documentary "The Real October" tells the stories of a range of historical figures who experienced the upheaval: including Maxim Gorki and Kazimir Malevich. Based partly on hitherto unavailable sources, as well as diaries, newspaper reports and literary works, the award-winning director Katrin Rothe examines what is still known as the "October Revolution" from various perspectives. Her approach is novel: it is the first time the story of the revolution has been told from the point of view of artists who were involved at the time. What happened in Saint Petersburg, known back then as Petrograd, in the time between the revolts in February that ousted the tsars and the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in October? During this period of "Provisional Government", when power was shared between the parliament, the Duma, and the workers’ and soldiers’ councils, the Soviets, Russia descended into chaos. As the First World War raged, it found itself without a constitution. Why did a popular, parliamentarian democracy not take root? What effect did the returns of Lenin and Trotsky in the springtime have on the situation? What side was the military on and who else had access to firepower? Our documentary is a cinematic and artistic re-telling of the story of the Russian Revolution.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Maritime Greenwich – The Heart of Seafaring, Britain
Maritime Greenwich is located few kilometers east of London downstream the River Thames. It was from here that Francis Drake, James Cook and Lord Nelson set sail to conquer the high seas for the glory of the British crown. Today, this small town is still important to seafarers everywhere. It’s the location of the prime meridian, which divides the globe into the eastern and western hemispheres. At the heart of Greenwich is the Royal Observatory commissioned by King Charles II and built by Sir Christopher Wren, the same architect who designed St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was hoped that better knowledge of the stars would solve the problem of exactly determining longitude and perfecting navigation. Ships captains at the time were prone to getting lost, although it would be hundred years until a solution arose. Carpenter John Harrison invented the marine chronometer, the first clock that would function despite variations of temperature, weather and humidity at sea. That allowed ships to navigate by comparing the time on board with the time at a ship’s homeport and so determine the ship’s location in terms of longitude and minutes. Our report also features other Greenwich landmarks such as the Queen’s House, a former royal residence in the neo- Classical style, as well as the Royal Marine Hospital and Painted Hall.

19:15 The End of the Sublime Porte – Multi-ethnic States in the Ottoman Empire, Part 1 Documentary
For six centuries the Ottoman Empire was a major power that extended across three continents and the seven seas. A huge empire, a place of holy sites and home to the world’s three monotheistic religions. Bit it was brought down in less than a century. This is the first part of a two-part documentary. Over the hundred years from Greek independence in 1830 to the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913, the Ottoman Empire withdrew from Europe for good after a presence in the Balkans lasting almost 500 years. The shared past is often downplayed by national historians, but the Balkan states are strongly influenced by the complexities of Christian, Muslim and Jewish peoples living together, says Mark Mazower from Columbia University. It was more of a ‘side by side’ existence based on the Ottoman Empire’s "millet" system, where non-Muslims enjoyed the protection of the sultan but had to pay special taxes in return. Over the course of the 19th century, the region’s religious identities slowly became clear national ones; people now saw themselves as Serbs, Greeks, Armenians and Bulgarians. This rising nationalism, along with attempts by the major European powers to get their hands on the region’s resources and the inability of the Ottoman Empire to implement reforms, brought about the end of Ottoman rule in Europe. Using rare picture and film footage and with contributions by international historians, this two-part documentary analyses the last century of the Ottoman Empire and tries to understand its demise.

02:30 The Last Royal Mail Ship to St. Helena – The Island of the Exiled Documentary
The island of St. Helena, with its population of 4500, is situated in the middle of the Atlantic, a five-day journey by ship from anywhere. The RMS St. Helena is one of the last two British Royal Mail Ships, and still the only way to reach St. Helena or transport goods to the island. This will change in the near future, when the new airport comes into operation. It’s like the end of the world in the middle of the Atlantic. Five days, with a northwesterly course, and only then do the sheer black cliffs appear in front of RMS St. Helena. The residents are often waiting impatiently for the ship’s arrival and panic if the schedule changes. Director Thomas Denzel and his team went on the journey to St. Helena and met the people living on the island. Many of the residents are descendants of people who were sent into exile there by the British crown - the most famous among them, the French Emperor Napoleon. This is a report about life at the end of the world, unique vegetation, and a very special journey.

19:15 Reach for the Sky – Documentary
Anyone who finishes school in South Korea knows full well that the results of their exams will have a defining effect on their future. Exam time can be likened to a state of emergency for most families. Our documentary accompanies the students as they prepare for the exams, looks at the effects of the pressure on young people and questions the need for such a strict educational system. Good school marks are widely deemed more important than time spent with family or friends. Private tutors become stars and on the day of the tests, emergency measures are implemented nationwide. South Korea’s Suneung test is no ordinary school exam: it decides who does and who does not go to university, and to which one. Hence, it also has a huge bearing on a person’s status in this strictly hierarchical society. The chance of being accepted by one of the country’s top universities is less than one percent. Every year, on the second Thursday in November, more than half a million students sit the Suneung Siheom. They have already had their lives strictly regulated in recent months, perhaps even years. On an average day, they get up at 6 am to go to school. Many attend extra classes after school. Their day usually only ends when they get home well after midnight. Our documentary "Reach for the Sky" accompanies students before and during the exam and when they get the results.

19:15 Myanmar – The Power of the Monks Documentary
After almost 50 years of military rule, Myanmar is a divided country. Since the military started to share power with Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, this nation, shaped by Buddhism, has been searching for an identity. This documentary accompanies three monks who’re using different approaches to unify the shattered country. The young monk Thaw Bita preaches in Mandalay, Myanmar’s religious center. The democrat is a staunch follower of the Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. "If necessary, I’m willing to die for her," he says. The "Lady from Rangoon" has ruled the country since 2016, but she has no power over the army, which is autonomous and holds 25% of the seats in parliament. One of the difficult legacies of the military dictatorship is a group of nationalistic, openly racist monks such as Thu Sait with his hate-filled speeches: "A while ago we suggested a law to protect race and religion. That was necessary because the Muslims are multiplying rapidly." It’s possible that the extremist monks managed to blackmail Aung San Suu Kyi, because she’s refusing to take a clear side in the matter of the Rohingyas, a Muslim ethnic group that is being persecuted by the army. NGOs say it’s genocide. The question of its minorities has been a great strain on the country since its independence, frequently erupting into violence.

08:30 Faith Matters – The Church Program Luther – The Pop Oratorio
The Protestant Reformation is one of the great crossroads in the history of western culture. Its impact on modern society is evident even today. To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Martin Luther’s dramatic story is being staged as a pop oratorio. The ambitious project is the work of composer Dieter Falk and lyricist Michel Kunze. The show features fifteen soloists, an orchestra, a pop band and an enormous choir of more than 2,000

singers. Our reporter Holm Weber attended the rehearsals for this mega-musical, accompanying the composer, lyricist and members of the choir as they prepared for the show. The reporter was also on hand at the oratorio’s premiere in the western German city of Dortmund on Reformation Day in October 2015. To mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the Luther Pop Oratorio is now touring Germany.

09:15 The Cranachs and Medieval Modern Art – Documentary
Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) and his son Lucas Cranach the Younger (1515-1586) were amongst the most versatile artists of the 16th century. Hardly anyone embodied the ideals of the Renaissance as well as the senior Cranach and his portraits of Luther continue to shape our image of the famous Reformer. A crowned snake with bat wings and a ruby ring in its mouth was their coat of arms. They worked as court painters and princes were frequent visitors in their homes. In their workshop, they developed a rapid painting style and standardized procedures to produce portraits and religious images as if on an assembly line. Author Peter Schlögl visited the places where the famous family of painters lived and worked, discovered the beauty of the Cranachs’ painting techniques and gained an insight into the current state of Cranach research, and into many still unanswered questions and mysteries with the help of the "Cranach Digital Archive."

12:30 Luther, the Reformation and Women – Documentary
During the Reformation Martin Luther played a prominent part in addressing the role of women in society. Luther examined the values and standards of his times in the light of the Bible and came to a completely new conclusion: women and men were of equal worth. And what about celibacy? Man created that, he said, not God. Luther’s 95 Theses and the subsequent Reformation were just two game-changers - another was his marriage to Katharina von Bora. It was an incomparable scandal: a nun escapes from her convent, marries a monk and becomes one of the most famous women in Europe. Preaching the equality of men and women and rejecting celibacy, Luther and his peers threw the monastery doors wide open and paid new respect to the role of women in marriage. Without Luther and the other reformers, Katharina von Bora’s startling rise would be unthinkable. She had a polarizing effect: many loved and revered her, whilst others despised and demonized her. What choices did she have after Luther’s death, when she became one of Wittenberg's most successful businesswomen? What options did women have in 16th century at all? To what extent did Martin Luther and the Reformation change the status and image of women in the family and society? In short, how much was the Reformation really about gender equality?

500 years ago Martin Luther instigated a religious revolution and pushed wide open the doors to the future with his 95 theses. Now 500 years later this documentary poses the timeless questions, who am I and what is my role on earth? Our modern day view of the world is based extensively on the effects the reformation had on 16th century society. Modernity has arisen from the fact that mankind has questioned his role over the centuries. Today we face huge changes in the way we live due to globalization and the digital revolution which continue to affect almost all areas of our lives, taking effect at whirlwind speed. It seems as if nothing remains as it did before. This exciting voyage of discovery starts in the 15th century. The lives of Martin Luther, Johannes Gutenberg and Leonardo da Vinci are intertwined with the biographies and philosophies of members of the so-called Generation Y. Young people like Regina Catrambone who helps rescue refugees from drowning in the Mediterranean, or Carolina Costa who represents a modern church which offers a platform to people of different faiths. Costa says people are interested in religion, you just have to find the right way to present it.

17:30 Faith Matters – The Church Program From Reformation to Ecumenism – The Augustinian Priory in Erfurt
During his official trip to Germany in 2011, Pope Benedict XVI also paid a visit to the former Augustinian monastery in Erfurt. At St. Augustine’s Monastery, the Pope met with representatives of the Protestant Evangelical Council of Germany. They then held an ecumenical service attended by a congregation of 10,000 Protestants and Catholics. The meeting between the Pope and German Lutheran leaders took place at a site of historical and religious significance. 500 years ago, this was where the young law student Martin Luther decided to become a monk with the Augustinian Eremites. Today the former monastery in Erfurt is an important site for the early history of the Protestant Reformation. At first, Martin Luther viewed his proposed reforms as part of a movement for spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church. Ultimately, however, Luther’s Reformation would lead to a schism within western Christianity. St. Augustine’s now serves as an important forum for both religious and public communities.

19:15 Luther and the Nation – Documentary
Martin Luther was originally a simple monk, a doubting theologian who was constantly at war with himself. But he united the Germans like no one else before. Yet he also divided them and split the Roman Catholic Church apart - without even intending to. It was the era of the Habsburg ruler Charles V, who saw himself as ruler by God’s grace and defender of Christian unity. In 1521, he said that the sun never set in his empire, which stretched from Latin America in the west to central Europe and to the Philippines in the east. The German territories were just one of his realms, and powerful princes defended their own interests here. Secular and religious power was still based on the Christianity of the Roman church. But many saw the Reformation as an opportunity to distance themselves from Rome and the Emperor, and to improve their standing in the political power structure of the day. Unlike the Habsburg emperor Charles V, who didn’t even speak German, Luther grew to become someone the people identified

with, and he became hugely popular. The reformer was one of the first major figures to explicitly play the German card and appeal to national sentiment: one of his missives said, "Why should the Germans put up with robbery and oppression imposed by foreigners?" Luther’s translation of the Bible into German was an important step in forming a German identity, but the Reformation left Germany divided along religious lines.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Roskilde Cathedral – Burial Place of Kings, Denmark
In the 10th Century, when the Danes were still Vikings and feared throughout Europe, their king built the church that eventually became Roskilde Cathedral - one of Denmark’s national monuments. Most of the country’s rulers are buried in the first Gothic brick building, which is the largest church in Scandinavia. Over the centuries, the kings and queens of Denmark added funerary chapels to the original nave: Among others, Queen Margrethe, who also ruled over Norway, Sweden and Iceland, is buried here. Christian IV, a particularly powerful ruler, rests in a correspondingly elaborate crypt. For centuries, Norway rulers built themselves burial chambers here, and every style from Gothic and Renaissance to Baroque and Classic can be found here. In fact, most of them were introduced into the country through the cathedral anyway. Today's rulers are more modest and recent additions are more discrete: it is privilege enough to be buried here. For the descendants of the Vikings, Roskilde Cathedral remains an important national monument.

23:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Petäjävesi – Upon these Logs We Built Our Church, Finland
Built in 1763, the small wooden church in Petäjävesi in Finland is a monument to the simple beliefs and the craftsmanship of the people who built it. Ever since it became a World Heritage Site, the church has been used in the summer months for weddings, baptisms and services. Petäjävesi means "Great Pines on the Water” and that name reflects its surroundings in some of the most beautiful lakeland scenery of Central Finland, In the summer of 1763 the local people had been waiting for two years for permission to build a new church. When they failed to receive an answer to their request from the Swedish king they decided to go ahead and build it anyway. The wooden blockhouse construction was completed in just 35 days. Now it is one of the finest examples of Finnish wooden architecture still in existence. The church is laid out in the form of a cross with arms of equal length. With its logical proportions, octagonal domed ceiling and ornate details, the church still fascinates even today. The wood was never painted, neither inside nor out, and has developed an exceptionally fine patina over the past 300 years.
