01:15 DocFilm Slaves - Human Bondage in Today’s World

There are over 45 million slaves worldwide today - more than ever before in human history. Modern slavery has many faces: workers, sex slaves, household servants and child soldiers. But some people are fighting this trade in human misery. The documentary investigates the modern slave trade and tracks down the unscrupulous profiteers for whom people are a mere commodity. For 30 years, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has been waging a guerrilla war along the borders of Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. The UN estimates it has abducted and enslaved some 100,000 children in that time. Caesar Acellam was number three in the LRA hierarchy. He talks to filmmaker Marc Wiese and takes the viewer into the dark world of the LRA. But there are also people ready to oppose modern slavery. Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest has pledged 300 million Dollars to curb slavery in India. And when writer Lydia Cacho meets a little girl in Mexico City who has fled from a child sex slave ring, she takes her in and eventually frees 200 children.

01:15 DocFilm LSD is Back

Some say LSD produces hallucinations and lowers inhibitions. Others believe it makes people more capable, efficient and creative. In Silicon Valley, many even say LSD can be a tool for self-improvement. More and more people in Germany are discovering what’s known as microdosing to be the best they can be. Every three days, a 28-year-old man takes his LSD out of the freezer and slowly lets the ice cube containing the drug melt on his tongue. He’s taking ten micrograms of LSD. He learned about it online and says the allegedly harmless dose makes him feel more focused, productive and empathetic. The trend from Silicon Valley is an open secret at many innovative start-up companies. Paul Austin, who’s something like an LSD guru in Silicon Valley says, "People who responsibly take psychedelic drugs in microdoses will rule the job markets of the future.” But others are skeptical. They warn about self-medication, saying there’s no way of knowing the LSD’s concentration. If things go wrong, psychoses and persistent sensory disorders may follow. But this documentary shows there is more to it. After years of being locked away with the poisons, "acid” is back and a hit among a new generation of researchers and doctors. Some say it can ease depression and anxiety. So is LSD good medicine? This film explores the past and present of a drug that was legal until the 1960s and was used by doctors to treat the blues and alcohol addiction.

01:15 DocFilm Charcoal - An Environmental Disaster

Huge areas of tropical rainforest are being destroyed to make charcoal for barbecues. The global deforestation is leading to growing problems. Nigeria and the DRC Congo - two of Europe’s main charcoal suppliers - are also affected. Every year, Europeans use approximately 800,000 tons of charcoal for barbecuing. Seventy percent of the charcoal comes from outside the EU, and the bags often contain remnants of tropical woods. Officially, tropical woods are subject to strict import conditions. But when it comes to wood charcoal, these do not apply. Worldwide, 2.7 billion people cook and heat with wood or charcoal. The related emission of greenhouse gases is enormous. 55 percent of global wood is used as fuel per year, and much of it is cut illegally in Africa’s bush and tropical forests. Nigeria produces most of its charcoal for export. Especially during dry periods, local Nigerian farmers use coal production as a lifeline to make money and feed their families. At the same time, charcoal mills travel the countryside in family groups, charring all the trees they can cut down. The consequences are hair-raising. Nigeria lost 36 percent of its forests between 1990 and 2005. At present, twelve percent of the country is still covered with forest - but charcoal production continues to rise, eating up 350,000 hectares of fertile land here every year. According to the UN, charcoal production is one of the main causes of deforestation in Africa, which in turn is closely linked to massive deterioration in soil quality and a growing risk of crop failure. But African legislation has been slow to respond to the problem. The coal business is highly lucrative business, and rakes in some 7.4 billion US Dollars a year. According to recent estimates, the current illegal trade in charcoal is worth almost three times as much as the trade in illegal drugs.

01:15 DocFilm Like me - The Selfie Generation

Hearts and "likes” make it happen for the selfie generation The social network status boosters are self-esteem builders, too. But is it about narcissism or an unhealthy craving for approval? Young people are special fans of selfies and spend hours photographing themselves wherever they may be. But what’s behind "selfie mania?” Filters and beauty apps are self-improvement tools that make youngsters look better on-line than they do in reality. A tide of manipulated images increases the pressure on teens to be prettier, thinner and cooler. If you want "likes,” you need to stand out. Our documentary follows Michelle, a 16-year-old whose role model is America’s Kylie Jenner, a leading influencer and selfie queen with a trademark trout-pout. Kids copy Kylie on the Internet, mimicking the trends until they end up at the plastic surgeon’s like their idol. Selfie mania-is competitive, too - with youngsters trying to top each other on-line. Nothing is off-limits - six-packs are bared and bottoms paraded as the challenges ratchet up. This documentary looks at the dangers of this trend, particularly for those who suffer from a lack of self-confidence.

01:15 DocFilm Nightmare without End - Thalidomide is Still with Us

Thalidomide - known as Contergan in Germany - is still being used as a drug. This, even after the medication caused thousands of birth defects six decades ago. The German pharmaceutical company Grünenthal marketed thalidomide world-wide starting in 1957. Pregnant women used the sleeping pill, which had been deemed so harmless it was available over the counter in Germany. Yet the drug proved damaging to embryos and caused serious birth defects. Estimates are that the drug caused thousands of deformities and an unknown number of stillbirths, until it was taken off the market at the end of 1961 when the links became clear.

Filmmaker John Zaritsky has been following thalidomide victims for more than 25 years. He speaks to parents, who tell of the birth of their children and their search for a cause for what had happened. The thalidomide babies have become adults in the meantime. Their stories tell of a double blow - dealing both with their birth defects and how society copes with them. And the nightmare is far from over. Thalidomide, the effective ingredient, is used today to treat leprosy, cancer and AIDS. Zaritsky shows that above all in Brazil, a lack of information about the drug continues to result in birth defects.

08:15 Night Grooves - Stephanie and Wigald’s House of Music With Singer Nicole and Right Said Fred Nicole sang her way into millions of hearts around the world with "A Little Peace" and won the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest, Europe's biggest music competition. On Night Grooves, Nicole joins Right Said Fred on stage. The English band also performs their hit "I’m Too Sexy" live and unplugged. In 1991, their song about unbridled male egos dripped with sarcasm and flew through the roof. It all started just because their rehearsal space was too hot! You'll hear where things went from there on Night Grooves. A highlight of this edition is when the musicians on the sofa join in together, singing Nicole's anti-war anthem "A Little Peace". Once again, we come to you from Haus Schminke in Löbau, Saxony. The house was designed by Hans Scharoun in the 1930s.

01:15 DocFilm Of Black Holes and Neutrinos - Messages from the Edge of the Universe

Neutrinos are spectral particles that are not only extraterrestrial but also extragalactic. Scientists have discovered that they make up a miniscule part of the cosmic rays that constantly bombard the Earth's atmosphere. We’ve known about neutrinos for a long time, but exactly where and how they are formed remains a mystery. International research teams at the South Pole and on the Mediterranean coast are now using gigantic detectors to "capture" the high-energy particles.

01:15 DocFilm Soul Ladies - Commuting between Africa and Europe

Three globally known musicians address music, migration and integration. Three-time Grammy winter Angélique Kidjo was born in Benin; Y'akoto has her roots in Ghana but grew up in Hamburg; and Nneka is German-Nigerian. Three globally known musicians address music, migration and integration. Three-time Grammy winter Angélique Kidjo was born in Benin; Y'akoto has her roots in Ghana but grew up in Hamburg; and Nneka is German-Nigerian.

Kidjo has lived on several continents. She studied in France and now lives in New York. When she was a young singer, she had to flee Africa. She went on to become a legend in France and a star in the music business. "Soul Ladies” lends and ear to the kind of music you make if you’ve grown up in Ghana, Benin or Nigeria and go on to spend years in Europe. The documentary examines how biography influences the creative process. Music critics frequently compare Y’akoto, who is Ghanaian-German, with soul and blues greats. Yet coming to Hamburg at twelve was a shock. There, she faced racism and discrimination daily. Nneka left Nigeria at eighteen and ended up in a German orphanage. Her story is like a fairy tale, though the road to her own musical style was rough. Her repertoire ranges from hip-hop, to soul, to African music and reggae and reflects inclusion. They all may have come to fame in Europe, but they also return to Africa again and again. Soul Ladies follows the singers as they shuttle between two worlds.

01:15 DocFilm Medical Research on the Move

If medical research does not appear profitable, it usually gets shelved. But now, through networking and crowd-funding, research is also found in less commercially viable areas. Scientists around the world are taking the initiative themselves. Instead of complaining about the pharmaceuticals industry, researchers are now taking care of the "orphans" of medicine such as the rare nerve disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS themselves. For example, the Ice Bucket Challenge fundraising campaign in the summer of 2014 gave ALS research a real boost, raising several million dollars within a very short time. That actually led to the discovery of a new ALS gene: the NEK1 gene, two years later. So are crowd-funding and networked research the future of medical science? Research teams around the world are looking for a drug to combat malaria, for example, and are foregoing patents in the process. A US foundation is pushing ahead with the approval of a contraceptive for men after the pharmaceutical industry showed little interest due to its unprofitability. Can this grassroots support develop the sort of pioneering spirit that would be stifled in the classic R&D of the private pharmaceutical companies? The documentary examines alternative forms of pharmaceutical research and encounters optimists, lateral thinkers and movers-and-shakers.

01:15 DocFilm The New Cold War - More Nuclear Weapons in Europe?

Nuclear rearmament is back in full swing and the INF treaty between the USA and Russia has been suspended. East and West seem to be on a collision course again. Are we looking at a return to a scenario such as the balance of terror in the 1980s? In the 1980s, millions of people in Europe took to the streets to demonstrate against the nuclear arms race. After the Cold War ended, thousands of nuclear weapons were pulled out of Europe. Since then, however, the political situation has worsened dramatically, and a new nuclear arms race between the USA and Russia is already in full swing. Many experts think nuclear conflict is more likely now than it was during the Cold War and are talking about a second nuclear age. Both the Russians and the Americans have apparently been breaking the INF treaty signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which was designed to prevent nuclear escalation. The deployment of nuclear weapons has once more become a possibility, and that could have fatal consequences for Europe. The modernization of US nuclear bombs on European soil, the debate about the development of a separate European deterrent and constant military maneuvers on both sides of NATO's eastern border in the Baltic States are exacerbating the situation considerably.

01:15 DocFilm Putin’s Witnesses - Part 1

This documentary looks at the rise of Vladimir Putin using video material never shown before. (93) The two-part film begins its examination with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the year 2000. On December 31, 1999, Russian President Boris Yeltsin announced his resignation. At the time, filmmaker Vitali Manski was working for a state broadcaster and had unlimited access to the outgoing president, his successor and the inner circles of the Russian leadership. Manski recorded video as a cameraman, but also used his own portable camera to film events. He was with Yeltsin and his family as they followed the results of the election on March 26, 2000, when 53 percent of the voters confirmed Putin as President of the Russian Federation. Manski recorded other milestones as well, including confidential chats in the Kremlin that reveal Putin’s attitudes towards power and leadership. Manski now lives in exile in Riga, Latvia. Watch the documentary to see the film’s central characters, Boris Yeltsin, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Vladimir Putin, and other influential politicians and businessmen as they witness their country in transition.

08:15 Night Grooves - Stephanie and Wigald’s House of Music With Gil Ofarim & The Strumbellas Night Grooves starts off this edition with Canadian folk band The Strumbellas. They sing their hit "Spirits”, the song that made their international breakthrough. The second guest on our music program is Gil Ofarim. He was a teenage idol in Germany who grew up to become a rock musician. Gil Ofarim must have inherited his musical streak from his Israeli father Abi Ofarim, who was a famed pop singer and chansonnier in the 1960s. Gil will be performing his song "Ein Teil von mir” (A Part of Me), a premiere for Night Grooves, and the most emotional one to date: Gil dedicated it to his recently deceased father. A highlight of the show is a cover version of "Hotel California”. Gil Ofarim and The Strumbellas sing the Eagles hit live on our stage. Again, we come to you from the house designed by Hans Scharoun in the 1930s: Haus Schminke in Löbau, Saxony.

22:02 DocFilm Advent Carols

Caroling in the Hafenschuppen -- a port warehouse -- is a highlight of Advent in Hamburg. Around 450 signers meet there each year for a major concert of Christmas carols. The arrangements of the concert’s choral and music director and composer Niels Schröder gives the Christmas classics a special flair which is reflected in the eyes of the singers. This documentary captures that light, which was gathered by four camera operators who moved unobtrusively amidst the signers. The concert blends contemplation and signing along and is a perfect opportunity to learn classic German carols - songs that warm the heart in the depths of winter. Join in and get the spirit of the holiday time of year.

01:15 DocFilm Salman Rushdie - A Marked Man

Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a "fatwa” for author Salman Rushdie thirty years ago. The order to kill Rushdie came after the publication of his book, "The Satanic Verses” in 1988. Khomeini declared the work blasphemous and Rushdie a heretic. From 1989 on, the British-Indian author was a fugitive. He lived in constant fear and survived around twenty murder attempts. Since then, the fatwah has been lifted, but Iranian media is still calling for his execution. Based on rarely seen personal and historical archives and exclusive interviews recently shot in his house in New York, the film revisits Rushdie’s life and literary work and questions the place of novelists in the era of fake news. The documentary is a conversation with Rushdie, during which he shows how he faced his plight with calmness and humor. This is juxtaposed with images of the outrage against him. In the interview, the author speaks of his youth in multicultural Bombay and his studies in Cambridge, fifteen years in hiding, and Trump’s America, which he takes on in his recently released book, "The Golden House.”

Restorers of modern artworks have to deal with the strangest materials.Christian Scheidemann has worked on everything from sculptures made from eggshells to a work made from elephant excrement at his studio in Los Angeles. Scheidemann is a master when it comes to saving the works of iconic modern artists such as Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, Paul McCarthy and Robert Gober. The restorer approaches their aging creations like a doctor does patients. Artists, collectors and museums all go to him for help. This documentary takes a close look at how Scheidemann works and the materials he uses to make magic, including resurrecting an image that had already been deemed a total loss. And the film also follows him as he examines the work of a young artist in Brooklyn, advises performance artist Carolee Schneemann, and receives a Golden Lion at the Biennale in Venice.

01:15 DocFilm Tightrope act in Dresden - Helmut Kohl's Speech and German Reunification

Six weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Helmut Kohl went to Dresden. The enthusiastic reception he received there became a demonstration for a rapid German reunification. The speech Kohl gave their was the most difficult and probably most important speech of his life. Peter Limbourg will never forget December 19, 1989. That’s when, as a young television correspondent reporting on the historic events surrounding the fall of the Berlin Wall, he went to Dresden, where the West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was to meet with the de facto East German leader Hans Modrow to stabilize the situation in the Communist state. But shortly after his arrival, it became clear that the thousands of East Germans lining the streets and giving him an enthusiastic welcome were in no mood for lengthy negotiations. They wanted a united Germany - and as fast as possible. Until then, Kohl had thought it would take at least three or four years to bring the two Germanies together, but this day in Dresden made him realized that everything could go much faster. His spontaneous speech in Dresden turned into a rhetorical tightrope act. He knew he couldn’t disappoint the East Germans nor snub the four Allied Powers, and that "Any slip of the tongue would have been immediately interpreted in Paris, London or Moscow” as sign of nationalism. Thirty years later, Limbourg goes back to Dresden and talks to the political leaders of the time and to the citizens of Dresden who, like himself, witnessed that historic moment.

01:15 DocFilm Putin’s Witnesses - Part 2

This documentary looks at the rise of Vladimir Putin using video material never shown before. (93) The two-part film begins its examination with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the year 2000. On December 31, 1999, Russian President Boris Yeltsin announced his resignation. At the time, filmmaker Vitali Manski was working for a state broadcaster and had unlimited access to the outgoing president, his successor and the inner circles of the Russian leadership. Manski recorded video as a cameraman, but also used his own portable camera to film events. He was with Yeltsin and his family as they followed the results of the election on March 26, 2000, when 53 percent of the voters confirmed Putin as President of the Russian Federation. Manski recorded other milestones as well, including confidential chats in the Kremlin that reveal Putin’s attitudes towards power and leadership. Manski now lives in exile in Riga, Latvia. Watch the documentary to see the film’s central characters, Boris Yeltsin, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Vladimir Putin, and other influential politicians and businessmen as they witness their country in transition.

22:02 DocFilm Sixty Years in Exile - The Twilight of the Dalai Lama

Sixty years ago, Tibet’s Dalai Lama and his followers fled into exile to India, where they are based to this day. But foreign support for his government in exile is crumbling and news from Tibet itself is drying up quickly. When it became clear that the Chinese invasion of Tibet was unstoppable, the Dalai Lama decided to leave his homeland. Fighting between Tibet’s largely Buddhist population and Chinese troops had shown any resistance to be futile. Since 1959, the Tibetans’ spiritual head has been living in Dharamsala in northern India. There he led the Tibetan government exile until 2011, when he withdrew from active political life. The exile community’s demands for a "Free Tibet” now seem less attainable than ever. The Dalai Lama still holds the exile congregation of 100,00 together, but the 84-year-old has not yet named his successor. Director Peter Gerhardt visits the Tibetan community in India and meets Tenzing Peldon, the editor-in-chief of the "Voice of Tibet” radio station, which tries to preserve Tibet’s cultural heritage. But the exile community is shrinking and aging. Peldon does not want to relinquish her cultural identity but she knows that the Chinese have time on their side. Few western states want to fall foul of China by declaring their support for a free Tibet. The documentary shows what a difficult situation the Tibetans in exile in India are in, talks to contemporary witnesses and attends one of the Dalai Lama’s lectures.

01:15 DocFilm 1979 - The Big Bang that Created Today’s World - Part 1

1979 was a year that still shapes our world even today. That was when three fundamental forces - the collapse of communism, neoliberalism, and politicized and radicalized religion, fused into a single potent force. The Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic revolution in Iran, Pope John Paul II’s visit to Poland, the opening of China under Deng Xiaoping, Great Britain’s neoliberal shift under Margaret Thatcher and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan - these are just some of the key events that took place in 1979. Forty years on, their effects are more apparent than ever before. Ongoing crises in the Middle East, expanding terrorist networks, the never-ending conflict in Afghanistan, China’s rapid rise to world power, the omnipresent issue of Brexit and the EU’s concerns about its place in the world all have their origins in 1979. As change takes place around the world at an increasing tempo, we link the global events of 40 years ago to today’s political challenges. Who were the great actors, the architects of history back then? And how do their decisions still influence our world today? A dynamic, investigative documentary that looks back into the past to explain the present.

11:15 DocFilm Let It Snow - Winter on Three Continents

A flurry of snowflakes in a winter wonderland. For this report, we traveled to Montreal in eastern Canada, to the forested expanses of Karelia in northwestern Russia, and to the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. Winter can be pretty tough in all three places. The average annual snowfall in Montreal is two meters. Maxime Fournier is in charge of keeping the roads in the city center clear -- even after the worst snowstorms. Maxime says it's an impossible job. He co-ordinates the big ploughs that go out as soon as snow is forecast. And he oversees the trucks that carry away the white stuff from the downtown area. That's 12-million cubic meters a year -- equivalent to the cargo capacity of 200,000 freight wagons. But even if all the snow was left on the ground, people could still manage. Montreal is criss-crossed by a network of tunnels -- and a 35 km-long labyrinth of passages connects hotels, offices, shopping malls, and even an ice hockey rink. There'd be plenty of room to play hockey on the 66,000 frozen lakes of Karelia. But the local residents prefer ice-fishing. Local resident Andrei Kokkonen says it's an ideal pastime. Andrei adds that ice-fishing is also good for your health, because you use all of your muscles. The traditional Ban’ei horse race takes place on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido -- often at temperatures as low as -16º C. It features powerful draft animals that pull heavy sleds over a hilly track.

01:15 DocFilm Silent Night - A Song for the World

"Silent Night” is the world's most famous Christmas carol. But what makes it so special? The film explores the origin and meaning of a song that was declared an intangible item of cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. Joseph Mohr’s poem "Silent Night was set to music by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1818 - a time of conflict, famine, epidemics and natural disasters. After its premiere on Christmas Eve that year, the song went via Tyrol, Berlin and Hamburg to the USA and later around the world. It has been translated into more than 300 languages and dialects to date, bridging the continents. During the First World War, "Silent Night” stopped the trench warfare between Germans and British on for a day. Bing Crosby's recording of "Silent Night” has sold 30 million copies, making it the third best-selling single of all time. In this documentary, director Hannes Michael Schalle follows in the footsteps of the world's most famous Christmas carol and asks how the song spread so far. How did Bing Crosby make "Silent Night" a world hit and which other interpreters have sung this wonderfully simple yet heartwarming composition? The documentary takes the viewer from the song’s birthplace, Salzburg, in winter, to metropolises such as New York, London and Berlin, and meets famous artists, who talk about their personal Christmas traditions, their favorite Christmas songs and - of course - their relationship to "Silent Night.”

07:15 DocFilm Dear Christ Child... - German Children and their Christmas Wishes

Every year before Christmas the Bavarian town of Himmelstadt - the name literally means ‘heaven’s city’ - receives over 80,000 letters from children with their Christmas wishes. Often these wishes sound funny at first, but when read more closely, they make you think. There’s a story behind every letter. The children’s first problem is to decide what address to use for their letters. They’re writing to the Christ Child, or 'Christkind' - the southern German counterpart to Father Christmas. But where does he live? Can he even read? Can he talk? Does he have golden hair? Wings? But once they’ve taken this hurdle, they don’t just wish for material things. They often write down all the things that burden them in their lives: one girl would like war in Africa to end, another would like her fish to live a long life. A boy would like a pullover for his dog. This film is about children who have everything or nothing, a greatest wish or a last one. They’re more openly honest to the 'Christkind' than to anyone else...

15:15 DocFilm The Angel Chronicles

Where do angels come from? Why do they have wings? And when did they become a central motif in Christianity’s most important churches? We explore how they are depicted and how fashions have changed over the centuries. The story of the angels since pagan times is also uniquely our own. In Christianity, angels are the central mediators between God, whom mankind never see, and the faithful who seek contact with Him. They are heavenly beings who proclaim the Word of God and who guide and help man, but who also judge sinners when they stray from the path of faith. The angels are hierarchically ordered, they embody the Heavenly Host, proclaim God, and execute His will. They are, therefore, of outstanding importance in early Christian sculpture, especially the Byzantine mosaics - for they represent the order of Heaven. And order there must be, for order is the essence of perfection. Later they became the servants of the Son of God incarnate and even of the Virgin Mary, who was human - unlike the angels themselves, who are not human but spiritual beings.

01:15 DocFilm The Miracle of Love - Exploring a Feeling

What is love? Love is more than a feeling: it is a driving force that can influence both brain and body. Recent scientific studies show how much love can really change people's lives. Love is not only a topic in art, but also in science. Few other emotions can trump human reason like love. Love is an instinct like eating and drinking - primitive but vital. It is not romance but above all biology that brings two people together: we can identify the right partner for us by their scent, just as animals do. Recent research shows that the sense of smell, especially in women, has a significant influence on the choice of partner. Love can make wounds heal faster, lower your pulse rate and blood pressure and reduce anxiety and stress. But it can also make you sick and even kill you: "Broken Heart Syndrome” can be as dangerous as a heart attack. Love isn’t just about sex, but sex nurtures love between two people. Every touch causes the brain to release oxytocin, a hormone that triggers feelings of care and affection. And the love hormone isn’t just behind the passion of the newly smitten, but also behind the bond between parents and children and the affection for a pet. In fact, it makes social coexistence possible in the first place - for humans as well as for rats or ants. Love is above all a matter of biochemistry and scientists may one day even create a love pill in the laboratory. This science documentary shows in an entertaining way what love is, what it does to people - and how it stays alive.

Neuschwanstein is an icon, a brand and ultimately a myth; its dreamlike image reproduced countless times. Romance for some, but big business for others. Neuschwanstein - blessing or curse? More than seven thousand people visit Neuschwanstein daily at the height of the tourist season. This documentary investigates what makes the kitschy castle so popular. Just a few weeks after King Ludwig II of Bavaria’s death in 1886, the castle was opened to visitors, even though, Ludwig, it’s builder, would have been vehemently opposed to the idea. Today the structure’s appeal is both a blessing and a curse. Masses of tourists help support the regional economy, but they take a toll on the castle itself. The film documents a year in the lives of people who’ve dedicated their lives to Neuschwanstein. One is a guide - actually an industrial engineer - who by chance found his dream job at the castle. Another is a successful souvenir shop owner, who hasn’t been inside Neuschwanstein for three decades, because he doesn’t like the place. And finally, we meet the restorers who have the unique opportunity to experience the castle to themselves.

01:15 DocFilm Surviving on the Moon

Fifty years after the first Moon landing, researchers are working at full speed on the next lunar mission. Their aim is to build a habitable research station on the Moon. What is the current state of play in international lunar research? For four and a half billion years, the Moon has been the Earth’s constant companion. Fifty years after man first set foot on its surface, researchers around the world are again working flat out on a new lunar mission to the Moon with the aim of setting up a habitable research station there. In 1969, the American astronaut Neil Armstrong spent less than a day on the Moon. Now the aim is to actually be able to live there. However, there are still some significant obstacles to overcome. Unprotected by any atmosphere, the Moon’s surface is exposed to a hundred times more radiation than the Earth, and any habitable Moon base will have to solve this problem. But how will they be able to build a module where researchers can live and work for months at all? Engineers and scientists are working on ways to use Moon dust, which is similar to basalt, as a building material. Another problem is that space suits have mainly been designed for space travel and they are unsuitable for use in low gravity conditions - the Moon’s gravity is just a sixth of the Earth’s. The German Aerospace Center’s EDEN ISS project is testing ways to cultivate food in a hostile environment in Antarctica, growing tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in a closed-circuit container. The filmmakers visit research institutes all over the world to get up-to-date answers to the most crucial questions about lunar research.

22:02 DocFilm Charlie and the Humans - The Future of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence and intelligent robots already exist. But what decisions can technology make on our behalf? How far can it go? AI is still in its infancy. Charlie is supposed to explore the Moon for us sometime. But no human lives will be at risk during his mission, because Charlie's a machine. The simian-like robot is currently still earthbound: he can currently be seen trying somewhat helplessly to navigate a papier mâché mock-up of the lunar surface at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence in Kaiserlsautern. Professor Wolfgang Wahlster, co-founder of the institution and, until recently, its boss, believes Charlie can be of great not only in space, but also here on Earth. He says intelligent robots could carry out dangerous jobs, search for victims buried in earthquakes or seal off a radioactive nuclear power plant after a meltdown. But what are AI’s limits? Can an autonomous car decide for itself whether it run over a child in the road or swerve into groups of people on the sidewalk instead? Our professional lives will also change. AI will make many jobs obsolete too - although it will also create new ones. The renowned Professor Wolfgang Wahlster believes that it will be down to politicians and society to define ethical boundaries. Meanwhile, he himself has become more humble. Forty years of research in the field of AI has given him a huge respect for human intelligence, which he says we are still light years away from being able to reproduce.

01:15 DocFilm 1979 - The Big Bang that Created Today’s World - Part 2

1979 was a year that still shapes our world even today. That was when three fundamental forces - the collapse of communism, neoliberalism, and politicized and radicalized religion, fused into a single potent force. The Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic revolution in Iran, Pope John Paul II’s visit to Poland, the opening of China under Deng Xiaoping, Great Britain’s neoliberal shift under Margaret Thatcher and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan - these are just some of the key events that took place in 1979. Forty years on, their effects are more apparent than ever before. Ongoing crises in the Middle East, expanding terrorist networks, the never-ending conflict in Afghanistan, China’s rapid rise to world power, the omnipresent issue of Brexit and the EU’s concerns about its place in the world all have their origins in 1979. As change takes place around the world at an increasing tempo, we link the global events of 40 years ago to today’s political challenges. Who were the great actors, the architects of history back then? And how do their decisions still influence our world today? A dynamic, investigative documentary that looks back into the past to explain the present.

11:15 DocFilm Foot Down for Eternity - Mercedes Old-timers around the World - Part 1

Old Mercedes cars may be a petrol-head’s dream in the developed world, but elsewhere they are untiring workhorses. Countless Daimler veterans are still plying the world’s roads, used as buses or "grand taxis” or transporting fruit and vegetables. Larbi Bousetta, a Moroccan who has been living in Germany for 40 years, connects both worlds. Mercedes trained him as a mechanic from and he drives a vintage Mercedes himself. He always takes his holidays in Morocco, driving as far as Casablanca to visit his friends with their veteran car tales from everyday life. One of them is Ahmed. His forty-year-old Mercedes taxi is leaking water, which would cost him a few hundred euros for repairs and spare parts in Germany. But in Morocco they just weld it up: it costs a few dirhams and will last for the next 100,000 kilometers. Brazil has about three hundred thousand old cars, rolling museums loaded with fruit for the wholesale markets among other things. Roberto Ferreira de Sousa from São Paulo affectionately calls his Mercedes from 1976 "Amarelão,” "The Yellow One.” Having covered five million kilometers together, they are really the best of friends. Meanwhile, in Argentina they use old Mercedes cars as buses. In North Africa, the indestructible Mercedes 123 in particular feeds families for generations. In fact, the "Faqus” in Egypt is even more venerable: a 50-year-old Daimler with a long body and tail-fins that can carry as many as eleven passengers. The legend lives on.

01:15 DocFilm Josephine Baker - Icon of Liberation

Josephine Baker, a fighter against racism, the first black superstar. The documentary shows Josephine Baker's path from vaudeville dancer to world-famous singer, actress and fighter against racial segregation. If you really want to understand Josephine Baker, you have to know about where she came from. She grew up in a poor family in Missouri, became a famous dancer and singer in France, supported the Resistance alongside General Charles de Gaulle during the Second World War and adopted twelve children from different parts of the world. Her life sounds like a novel. But it’s only half of the story and to leave it there wouldn’t do her justice. Her insatiable desire to change everything sprung from a childhood in which violence and racism were part of everyday life. Josephine Baker was born just 40 years after the end of slavery in the USA. In the Midwest, where she grew up, African-Americans were still treated like second-class humans, living in slum ghettos and regularly attacked by whites who refused to accept the outcome of the American Civil War. She may have managed to escape this life herself, but every time she returned home, she still faced hatred and racism. Baker’s visits to the USA were painful experiences that had a lasting impact on her and she used her fame to fight for her ideals. The documentary charts her life from dancer in a skimpy banana skirt to political icon, the only woman to speak at Martin Luther King's side during the March on Washington in 1963 - the story of a political awakening.
