03:15 Living Without Water – Drought in Peru Documentary
What’s it like to live without running water? In Peru’s sprawling capital, Lima, this is the everyday reality for 1.5 million children and adults, forced to pay up to a week’s salary for just one day’s water. And the problem isn’t confined to the capital, across the country, the shortage of water is putting lives in danger and provoking conflict, as it displaces communities and threatens their agricultural livelihoods. Climate change is partly to blame, but in this film we explore how European consumers are making this crisis worse. The fruit and vegetables – avocados, asparagus and exotic fruits – that end up on our supermarket shelves are literally sucking Peru’s land dry. In Lima we meet families struggling to live without one of life’s basic necessities. With only a few liters of water a week, their children’s health is at risk, and they’re at the mercy of unscrupulous businessmen, whose water trucks sell allegedly contaminated water at inflated prices. For others, the situation is even bleaker – we meet people without access to any water at all, who are forced to beg their neighbors every day for enough to wash and cook with. But there are no easy answers to the deepening crisis. Peru’s industries have brought jobs, wealth and even women’s empowerment to vast areas that used to be desperately poor. This film goes right to the heart of the water crisis – showing how society’s poorest are caught in the middle of a struggle between business, climate change and international politics.

05:15 Tricks of Memory – Documentary
DW (English) | SAT 2017-04-01 2/94
Memories can be deceptive. Psychologists and criminologists know that eye witnesses are not overly reliable, even when they’re acting in good faith. But what psychologists and criminologists have long known is still news to the justice system, the police and the public. This film reveals how our memory can be manipulated, and why we can rely so little on it. Adapting interrogation techniques and therapies to the latest insights into memory is a slow process. "Memories don’t create an imprint in the brain that we can retrieve at any time – in fact, our memory is malleable," says psychologist Elizabeth Loftus. As a result, innocent people are frequently found guilty because witnesses don’t remember things correctly. The NGO Innocence Project estimates wrong witness statements contributed to 242 of the 343 verdicts subsequently overturned by DNA evidence in the United States. Even our memories of our own lives can be manipulated. This documentary explores the conditions under which false memories can arise, and what the far-reaching consequences of this can be in court – for prosecution and defendants alike.

07:15 Myanmar – Time Travel by Rail Documentary
There has been a railway line across Myanmar’s Shan province for more than a century. The Mandalay-Lashio Express connects the hot, deep plains with the hilly highlands and is vital but fragile lifeline for thousands of residents. Many monks, traders, travelers and smugglers use the daily train from the metropolis of Mandalay to the northeast of Myanmar. The breathtaking views on the 16-hour trip are of less interest to the many commuters than the snacks and drinks sold by traders like Daw Dee, who sells homemade tealeaf salad. The former Burma’s colonial past meets the modern-day Myanmar along the railway track. Between Mandalay and Lashio, the Goktheik Viaduct built by the British colonial power spans a 300-meter deep gorge. Built in 1900, the bridge is a technical masterpiece, 700 meters long and 250 meters above the riverbed below. The train has to cross the aging steel construction at walking pace. Until a few years ago, it was strictly forbidden to take photographs of this strategically important structure, and even today minefields protect its pillars from attack by rebels. Our camera team accompanies train driver U Zaw Win, railway inspector Ko Tha Naing and the traders on their journey.

19:15 Tahrib – A Never-Ending Journey Documentary
UN statistics put the number of people around the world who have been forced from their home at over 65 million, and the figure is rising. It’s a staggering number that obscures an equal number of personal stories. 'Tahrib – A Never-Ending Journey' is a documentary about refugees from East Africa. Why do they risk their lives to reach Europe? And what awaits them if they manage to arrive safely? 'Tahrib' is the Arabic word for smuggling. In many African countries, the word is used for the migrant journey. In Kenya and Niger, we meet people preparing to cross the Sahara and the

Mediterranean. In Libya we encounter people survived horrifying experiences behind bars. In Israel we meet refugees living in a sort of limbo, traumatized by their experiences and unable to move on. In Istanbul we catch up with refugees preparing to leave for Europe. All these people are plagued by doubts about whether they’re doing the right thing. Where do the refugees entering Europe come from? Why have they left their homes? What makes a father, a mother or a frightened young man willing to embark on this treacherous journey?

02:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Marrakech – Pearl of the South, Morocco
Marrakech, the city of Berber and nomads, is considered the most beautiful in Morocco. The "ochre city" arose from an encampment of the conquering Almoravids in the 11th century. The Berber Almoravid Dynasty built an expansive irrigation system, transforming Marrakech into an oasis at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. In the center of the old town is the Place Djemaa el Fna, the "Square of the Beheaded," where, until the turn of the 20th century, the heads of executed criminals and enemies of the sultan were displayed. Today, the square is teeming with attractions of a less bloodthirsty nature: a market, storytellers and street performers during the day, and open-air restaurants and cafés in the evening. Not far from the square is the Madrasah Ben Youssef, a 14th century Koran school, the Bahia Palace with its lavish harem courtyards, and the Saadian tombs. Behind the walls of the royal palace is a world of luxury and splendor – a world normally closed off to the common people, including tourists. Camera teams were granted access to the magnificent chambers and private gardens of King Hassan II for the first time for this report.

03:15 Zubin Mehta – A Portrait Documentary
Zubin Mehta is one of the most charismatic conductors of our time and a citizen of the world with many facets: Indian Culture, a North American lifestyle and European music traditions. On April 29, 2016 Zubin Mehta turned 80. This film accompanies him on current projects and shows important stages of his life. If you are talking about Zubin Mehta, his great contribution to the classical concert and the opera will be one topic – the other will be his commitment to a better world. He has constantly made political statements, as when he rushed to Israel during the Six Day War in 1967 and conducted the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in gas masks. Or when he traveled with the Bavarian State Orchestra to the crisis region of Kashmir a few years ago to appeal for reconciliation between India and the Kashmiris. He shares this sense of responsibility with another conductor, Daniel Barenboim, who is also his lifelong friend. This documentary follows Mehta to places that are closely connected with his life – Mumbai, Israel, Berlin and Florence. It also looks back on a great career straddling Europe and North America – one that has also been furthered by his flair for major events with great public appeal.

09:15 Afro.Germany – Documentary
Where are you from? Afro-German journalist Jana Pareigis has heard that question since her early childhood. In fact, black people have been living in Germany for 400 years. In our documentary Pareigis travels through the country to speak with other black Germans, including rap stars and pro footballers, and find out what their experiences have been - and what needs to change. Black people have been living in Germany for around 400 years, and today there are an estimated one million Germans with dark skin. But they still get asked, "Where are you from?” Jana Pareigis is all too familiar with this often latently racist question. When she was a child, the Afro-German TV presenter also thought her skin color was a disadvantage. "When I was young, I wanted to be white,” she says. Parageis takes us on a trip through Germany from its colonial past up to the present day, visiting other dark-skinned Germans to talk about their experiences. They include rapper Samy Deluxe, pro footballer Gerald Asamoah and Theodor Michael, who lived as a black man in the Third Reich. They talk about what it’s like to be black in Germany. DW’s Susanne Lenz-Gleissner and Jana Pareigis made this film together with Afro-German director Adama Ulrich.

14:15 Crime Novels and the Third Reich – Documentary
The Nazi era was long taboo as a subject of light fiction in Germany. But crime fiction has drawn many readers to a topic that would normally put them off. European authors are enjoying great success with crime stories set in the Third Reich, which was itself the scene of inconceivable crimes. In 2004, Dominique Manotti published her darkest novel, "Le Corps Noir " about the French Gestapo in Paris in August 1944. Philip Kerr has been sending his hardboiled investigator Bernie Gunther to the darkest corners of the Nazi Reich since 1988. And in contrast to Kerr, Volker Kutscher began his series of novels in the Weimar Republic, investigating how his protagonist Gereon Rath deals with the transition from democracy to dictatorship. Crime novels reach millions of readers around the world. They are like a drug: atmospheric with a delirium of violence and lawlessness and great high contemporary relevance. Our camera follows the writers to Berlin, New York, Paris, London and Cologne and takes the viewer into grim, unfamiliar places.

19:15 The Cranachs and Medieval Modern Art – Documentary
Two artists who embodied the ideal of the Renaissance man were Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) and his son of the same name (1515-1586). Our film follows in their footsteps and provides an insight into the lives, work and times of this famous family of painters. They were among the most successful painters of the 16th Century, working as court painters and immortalizing Martin Luther and the Reformation in their paintings. They also ran printing workshops, were paper wholesalers, had a pharmacy license and were mayors of the renowned university city of Wittenberg. 2015 is Cranach year, with unique exhibitions in 12 locations in Germany celebrating Cranach the father and Cranach the son. In Cologne, the Cranachs' work is being digitized – treasure trove for professionals and art lovers. The Cranach Digital Archive (CDA) makes it possible to zoom in on even the tiniest figures or the fine networks of cracks in the painted faces.

09:15 Money in Minutes – Documentary
DW (English) | MON 2017-04-03 10/94
Western Union, MoneyGram and many other money transfer agencies are making a killing. The international migration of labor has created a flourishing and profitable financial services industry. Every month, around 200 million people send their hard-earned pay back home to the countries they left in search of work. And that is changing entire economies. It’s dead simple: money is paid in at an office in the USA, Europe or the Arabian Peninsula and can be picked up within a few minutes at one in the recipient country – in Latin America, Africa or Asia. The World Bank estimates the transactional volume at about $420 billion a year, sent by Chinese garment workers in Chinese-owned factories in Italy; by Nepalese servicing air conditioning systems on skyscrapers in Dubai in over 50 degrees of heat; or by Hondurans working on Florida's construction sites. The complex effects of these transactions are changing the economies of the home countries: in fact they now make up a significant part of gross national income for some of them. In the meantime, agriculture and infrastructure are left untended, which means that even more people are being forced to emigrate. It’s a perfect vicious circle.

19:15 A U.S. Airman Turned East German Spy – The Story of Sergeant Carney Documentary
How did Jeffrey Carney, an intelligence specialist with the US Air Force stationed in West Berlin in the early 1980s, become one of the Eastern Bloc's most important agents? A true story of Cold War intrigue and betrayal. In April 1991, a man was kidnapped in East Berlin by US secret service agents. After being interrogated, "Jens Karney" was flown to the US and sentenced to jail. How did it happen? From 1983, the intelligence expert passed on top secret US military documents to the East German Stasi, becoming one of the Eastern Bloc's key agents. His code-name: "Kid". Shortly after being transferred back to the US in 1985, Carney fled to Mexico, was taken by the East German secret services to Cuba and then to East Berlin. There he became known as Jens Karney, and continued to work for the Stasi. After the fall of the Berlin wall, the defector’s second secret service career came to an abrupt end, and he was eventually betrayed himself. Former Stasi officers sold their insider knowledge to the Americans, who had him arrested in Berlin.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Copán – A Center of Mayan Culture, Honduras
The Ruins of Copán are located more than 400 km west of the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa. At its peak, about 24,000 people lived here. Its many temples, stairways, altars, sculptures and stelae make Copán one of the most impressive Maya sites in Honduras. The film dives into the mysterious world of the Maya. It takes us to their ziggurats and underground temple corridors and attempts to reconstruct life in Copan. Many of the stelae are carved with the likeness of the 13th Maya ruler, known to history as the "King of the Arts". After his death, his successors built a massive stairway embossed with 1250 hieroglyphs that tell the story of Copán. It is the longest continuous Maya inscription ever found. During shooting for this report, archeologists discovered a burial chamber at a depth of 20 meters with a relief mural recognized as one of the most beautiful works of art of the Maya’s early classic period (250-500 C.E.). These recorded images may well long outlast the plaster relief itself, which has already begun to mold and decay in the high tropical heat and humidity.

19:15 Street Food – Tales of Lamb Kebabs, Scorpions & Ramen Noodles Documentary
Street Food is about cuisine and cultural identity. Food trucks and street vendors all have a story to tell. The cradle of the street food tradition is Asia, where every region has its own specialties. To explore Asian street food is to learn about a society and its culture, history and politics. Normen Odenthal and Thomas Reichart travel across four Asian countries exploring the diversity of the street food tradition, from the staples served up for tourists to the secrets of Xinjiang cuisine. The intrepid pair make a point of sampling everything, including frogs, scorpions and insects. They also find out how cooking can be an escape from poverty; Saiyuud Diwong, who grew up in the slums of Bangkok, now rubs shoulders with the likes of Jamie Oliver. She’s also published a book and runs a cookery school. At a bazaar in Xinjiang, at the heart of the Silk Road, they meet Alimu, whose specialty is lamb kebabs. And they visit Japan, where they see how a classic ramen noodle soup is made.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Horezu Monastery, Romania
In the west of Romania’s Wallachia region at the foot of the Southern Carpathians stands a monastery that entered the annals of art history: Horezu. Prince Constantin Brancoveanu set out to immortalize himself by commissioning the monastery at the start of his reign. Built in the late 17th century, Horezu blends styles of widely diverse origins: Byzantine splendor with the bold lines of the Italian renaissance, making the Horezu Monastery the first and perhaps best example of what later became known as the Brancovenesc style, which can also be found in many other eastern European buildings. We tell the story of the monastery in the words of its builder himself.

03:15 Afro.Germany – Documentary
Where are you from? Afro-German journalist Jana Pareigis has heard that question since her early childhood. In fact, black people have been living in Germany for 400 years. In our documentary Pareigis travels through the country to speak with other black Germans, including rap stars and pro footballers, and find out what their experiences have been – and what needs to change. Black people have been living in Germany for around 400 years, and today there are an estimated one million Germans with dark skin. But they still get asked, "Where are you from?" Jana Pareigis is all too familiar with this often latently racist question. When she was a child, the Afro-German TV presenter also thought her skin color was a disadvantage. "When I was young, I wanted to be white," she says. Parageis takes us on a trip through Germany from its colonial past up to the present day, visiting other dark-skinned Germans to talk about their experiences. They include rapper Samy Deluxe, pro footballer Gerald Asamoah and Theodor Michael, who lived as a black man in the Third Reich. They talk about what it’s like to be black in Germany. DW’s Susanne Lenz-Gleissner and Jana Pareigis made this film together with Afro-German director Adama Ulrich.

19:15 Rethinking Nero – Has History been Unfair to the Infamous Emperor? Part 1 Documentary
Roman emperor Nero has gone down in history as a crazed tyrant. But was he really that horrible? Some experts believe he's been given a bad rap – and blame ancient historians who loathed Nero because he stripped the élites of their power. Nero – the Roman emperor who set fire to Rome and fiddled while it burned. The history books paint him as a debauched, tyrannical figure. But are the stories really true? These
DW (English) | THU 2017-04-06 20/94
days, a reinterpretation of his reign, from 54-68 A.D. is gaining traction. Nero is believed to have murdered his mother, power-mad Agrippina. But according to one theory, their relationship had become so fraught that having her killed seemed like the only way the system of dynastic politics could be brought to end. In this documentary, the crime is reappraised and the figure of Nero reconsidered. From today's point of view, he was a ruler who defied the Patricians' definition of a good ruler, but not for the reasons the history books have always had us believe. They were angered by his artistic ambitions, his rejection of bloody gladiator battles and resistance to aggressive expansion. In hindsight, Nero was perhaps a man with humanistic beliefs who was ahead of his time.

09:15 The Mask Market – Antique African Art Documentary
The market for traditional African art is booming worldwide. In the last few months, some pieces have sold for millions at auction. Masks and unusual cult objects have always
DW (English) | FRI 2017-04-07 22/94
attracted European collectors. What is new is that African art is now often bought as a purely speculative investment. Over the last 200 years, Africa has lost countless important cultural treasures. Thousands of them have ended up in museums, private collections and galleries. New excavations in the Nok tribal lands in Nigeria have unearthed centuries-old art that was lost because there was no written culture there, yet today many Nok artifacts can be found in museums from Boston to Brussels. Masks and sculptures have become expensive speculative objects in the art market, which has also led to a boom in counterfeiting. This documentary takes us to voodoo rituals in Togo, cult rites in Benin and to a European fair for primitive art. It also charts the way value is added on the route from poor wood carvers in Mali to prestigious auctions in Paris and New York. Recently, a beautifully carved female statue from the Senufo in West Africa was sold for a record price of more than $12 million. Today, almost a million people in Africa live from making and selling replicas.

02:30 Arsenic Poisoning – Death in Small Doses Documentary
You can’t smell it or taste it but it can cause death: arsenic. Millions of people in Bangladesh have been exposed to toxic levels in what the World Health Organization called "the largest mass poisoning of a population in history." The consequences of arsenic-contaminated groundwater is southern Asia are also being felt in the West. A team of scientists analyzed the water in Bangladesh’s paddy fields and all of the samples revealed the presence of the chemical element arsenic. Traces were even found in grains of rice. The soils in Bangladesh contain a lot of natural arsenic that is leached from the rock when wells are drilled. This arsenic then comes to the surface in the groundwater, which is used as drinking water and to irrigate fields. Filtration systems were installed in an attempt to combat the problem, but they are expensive. Perhaps the biggest obstacle is that it’s impossible to detect arsenic in drinking water – it has neither taste nor odour. Bangladesh isn’t an isolated case: arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in the ground in other Asian countries too. The extent of the contamination varies from region to region. Local populations are unaware of potential danger. Arsenic-contaminated rice also finds its way to Europe in the form of rice cakes and other products. But consumers in industrialized countries can choose to avoid products. The people in Bangladesh aren’t so fortunate. They’re dependent on the contaminated rice and drinking water. Solutions to the problem are urgently needed.

03:15 The Torturers’ Cult – German Diplomats and the Crimes of Colonia Dignidad Documentary
Colonia Dignidad was the scene of shocking crimes in Chile: torture, the rape of minors, the forced administration of psychoactive drugs and spying. To the outside world, Colonia Dignidad looked like a model German settlement. The cover-up continues today. Many victims have been waiting for compensation for decades. Founded in 1961 by Christian German emigrants in Chile, Colognia Dignidad presented itself to the outside world as a model settlement. But it was really hell on Earth for its residents. It later even became a torture center for the Pinochet regime. Reports about crimes committed by the colony’s leader, Paul Schäfer, emerged early on. But nobody intervened. For years, German diplomats denied the human rights abuses, covered up the horrendous conditions, and even sent back members of the cult who had fled. For years the pensions of the colony’s German citizens were paid directly to the Colonia Dignidad’s
DW (English) | SAT 2017-04-08 25/94
leaders. The German Foreign Ministry has now opened its archives to shed light on the role of German diplomats in this scandal. Paul Schäfer went into hiding in 1996. He was arrested in Argentina in 2005 and extradited to Chile, where he died in prison in 2010. But his accomplices continued running the cult. While the area where the colony was based is now used for tourism, many of the victims, Germans and Chileans alike, are still severely traumatized and waiting in vain for help and compensation.

19:15 Learning From Athens – documenta 14 Documentary
Learning from Athens’ is the tagline given by artistic director Adam Szymczyk to documenta 14. One of the world’s biggest international modern art exhibitions, it is taking place for the very first time in two cities: Kassel and Athens. It’s a controversial move. Documenta, one of the world’s biggest international modern art exhibitions, has been held in the German city of Kassel since 1955. Its launch marked the dawning of a new era for the West German city, which had suffered severe damage in the Second World War. Now, curator Adam Szymczyk is making another damaged European country one of the settings for documenta 14. Athens is currently struggling with economic problems and is also on the frontline of the refugee crisis. The event kicks off in the Greek capital on April 8 and moves on to Kassel in June. The decision to have two locations has proved controversial. While curators and artists hope it will reinvigorate the Greek capital’s art scene, the plan’s detractors complain that it smacks of cultural imperialism. One of the critics, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, called it ‘a gimmick’ to exploit the tragedy in Greece. Will the troubled city end up little more than a striking backdrop for the international art élite? What can wealthy northern Europe really learn from a city that’s struggling to stay afloat?
DW (English) | SAT 2017-04-08 27/94
What happens when the event is over? And what purpose does art serve in times of crisis? A look behind the scenes of documenta 14.

19:15 Earth’s Collapsing Magnetic Field – Are the Poles About to Reverse? Documentary
We may not be able to see or feel the Earth’s magnetic field, but it’s crucial for our survival. It protects us from cosmic radiation and solar storms. But the field is has been growing weaker. And this weakness could herald a rare phenomenon: that the North Pole and the South Pole trade places. Pole reversals have occurred in the past, but the last was long before modern civilization. Indications are growing that a pole reversal will happen in the relatively near future, but scientists can only speculate about when and how long the process will last. In our advanced technological age, the consequences of a weakening magnetic field could be dramatic. Without our natural protective shield, cosmic radiation and solar storms could potentially wreak havoc on our electricity grids and power stations. This documentary set out to discover whether a geomagnetic pole reversal is an imminent threat.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Serengeti – Land of the Creation, Tanzania
The Serengeti -- its name is enough to evoke a yearning for unspoilt nature. The region is renowned for its unique wildlife. The drama of the animals’ lives play out against an enchanting backdrop of plains, savanna, acacia woodlands and salt lakes. Huge herds of wildebeest migrate through the Serengeti at the start of the rainy season in November, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles and antelopes. Lions, cheetahs and hyenas follow in hot pursuit. The Serengeti’s complex and sensitive ecosystem sustains dozens of large mammal and 500 bird species – as well as increasing numbers of tourists. Controlling this flow of people is one of the big challenges facing the national park. It would be dreadful, if the authorities had to bar public access in order to preserve this natural treasure.

19:15 Hapag-Lloyd Shipping Company – From Hamburg out into the World Documentary
Hapag-Lloyd is a shipping company based in Hamburg. In the 19th century, even the German emperor would travel from Berlin for the ceremonial launch of a new luxury steamship. These days, shares of this gigantic multinational are traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. When the global economy suffers, Hapag-Lloyd suffers too. This documentary looks back over the origins of this venerable shipping company. The 'Hamburg-Amerikanische-Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft' (HAPAG), was founded in 1847, Norddeutscher Lloyd ten years later in Bremen. At first the two companies were bitter competitors – it wasn’t until 1970 that they merged. Today the company is active around the world. This report takes a look behind the scenes and accompanies young trainees, the First Officer and the Captain of a container giant on the way from Rotterdam to Southampton via Hamburg. It reveals how difficult sales negotiations can be and it asks CEO Rolf Habben Jansen with the question whether container shipping will remain profitable in the future.

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.

19:15 Rethinking Nero – Has History been Unfair to the Infamous Emperor? Part 2 Documentary
Roman emperor Nero has gone down in history as a crazed tyrant. But was he really that horrible? Some experts believe he's been given a bad rap – and blame ancient historians who loathed Nero because he stripped the élites of their power. Nero – the Roman emperor who set fire to Rome and fiddled while it burned. The history books paint him as a debauched, tyrannical figure. But are the stories really true? These days, a reinterpretation of his reign, from 54-68 A.D. is gaining traction. Nero is believed to have murdered his mother, power-mad Agrippina. But according to one theory, their relationship had become so fraught that having her killed seemed like the only way the system of dynastic politics could be brought to end. In this documentary, the crime is reappraised and the figure of Nero reconsidered. From today's point of view, he was a ruler who defied the Patricians' definition of a good ruler, but not for the reasons the history books have always had us believe. They were angered by his artistic ambitions, his rejection of bloody gladiator battles and resistance to aggressive expansion. In hindsight, Nero was perhaps a man with humanistic beliefs who was ahead of his time.

02:30 Sachsenhausen’s Shoe Testing Track – Forced Marches for Nazi Profit Documentary
Inmates at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp were forced to march nearly 50 kilometers a day along a track of grit, gravel, asphalt and mud in order to test military footwear. Prisoners dreaded being put in the 'shoe testing unit' and hundreds died as a result of exhaustion and torture. The shoe testing track was recently investigated by historian Anne Sudrow. She found out that it was used by nearly the entire German shoe industry at the time – including its suppliers; a number of those companies still in business today. The arrangement gave shoe companies an inexpensive way to conduct research and development. The shoe testing experiments in Sachsenhausen were the only human experiments conducted in a concentration camp that served commercial rather than medical purposes. Today few survivors of this inhuman practice are still alive. This documentary accompanies Joop Snep (1921-2016) on a visit to Sachsenhausen, where he was imprisoned for helping Jews flee Nazi Germany. How did he cope with his memories? Did he feel anger or hatred? And what about the German footwear companies with murky histories? Do they feel any responsibility? An emotionally charged documentary that shows what atrocities mankind is capable of committing – but also its capacity for forgiveness.

19:15 The Mountain of the Messiah – The Mount of Olives and Its Myths Documentary
The Mount of Olives plays an important role in the beliefs of all three Abrahamic religions. According to Christianity, it is the site of the Ascension, Judaism teaches that it is where the Messiah will come on the Day of Judgment, and Muslims believe a bridge will connect it to the Temple Mount at the end of days. The Mount of Olives, at an elevation of more than 800 meters, is located to the east of Jerusalem, outside the walls of Jerusalem’s old city. The mountain ridge was once covered in olive groves, hence the name. Today around 30,000 people live on the Mount of Olives. Although they include orthodox Jews and Christians, everyday life, particularly on the mountain’s eastern slopes, has an Arab influence. There is nothing ordinary about life in a place considered sacred to people all over the world. This is a documentary about a site that represents a crossroads of politics and faith, past and present.

19:15 The Luther Matrix – Part 1 Documentary
Martin Luther changed the world – by listening to his conscience. That's the conventional wisdom. Is Luther really a role model for moral integrity? Can the Reformation serve as a blueprint for successful social change? The Luther Matrix is a documentary thriller that blends history with contemporary politics. A heady cocktail of Martin Luther, a whistleblower, the Chancellery and the secret services, this fictitious story begins in the present day. A top-level team with the state security services is investigating a system administrator, who copied and made public documents and data and is threatening further revelations. The whistleblower is arrested, but refuses to speak during questioning. His only response is to quote Martin Luther: 'Here I stand, I can do no other.' Eventually, the investigators – played by actors – come to understand that the whistleblower’s actions were inspired by his understanding of Martin Luther and the Reformation. They embark on an intensive and exhausting exploration of Luther’s legacy. It takes them to the places where he lived and worked, as they talk to science and theology experts to find out how relevant the theologian’s message is today.

Vaccinations are one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. They have virtually eliminated several infectious diseases and they protect millions of people from getting sick. But there’s a growing movement of vaccination skepticism, especially in Germany. The Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) recommends that children be vaccinated against thirteen different diseases, including measles, mumps and rubella. A wave of measles infections in Germany a few years ago even prompted the health ministry to consider establishing mandatory vaccines. Critics, however, are convinced that it’s better to go through various diseases in early childhood to reduce the risk of developing allergies as well as help our immune systems to mature. In addition they believe vaccinations are associated with serious side-effects. But the probability of a serious post-vaccination side- effect is a thousand times less than that of a serious complication in the event of illness.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Cartagena – Spain's Fortress in the Caribbean, Colombia
Cartagena was once a wealthy city, thanks to its strategic location by the sea. For the Spanish conquerors, it was an ideal place to settle, offering a natural harbor in a wide bay, shielded from the open seas by a chain of islands and protected from the interior by mountains. It was one of the first cities to be founded by the Spanish in South America. In 1533, Pedro de Heredia took over an island, which had been abandoned by its indigenous inhabitants, and founded the city "Cartagena de Indias". Soon, the new city was enjoying an economic boom. Almost all Spanish trade with its colonies was conducted via Cartagena. The prosperous city became a magnet for unwanted visitors: it was repeatedly attacked and looted by pirates, including Sir Francis Drake in 1586. Following his attack, huge fortifications were built. Enormous protecting walls and fortresses, watchtowers, arrow slits and cannon have since dominated the cityscape. Even the undecorated, austere churches have something defensive about them, in marked contrast to the elaborate flair of the squares and houses with their colonial facades and balconies. Cartagena is considered one of South America’s most beautiful colonial cities.

19:15 Volkswagen Vans – A Love Story Documentary
Volkswagen's cult van is beloved the world over: the Type 2 VW Transporter. Many associate the inimitable vehicle with hippie era of the 1960's and '70's. VW vans became iconic when the flower power crowd used them to travel from Europe to India. Introduced in 1950, it’s now in the sixth generation. More than 11 million vehicles have rolled off factory assembly lines to date and there’s no end in sight. Whether it’s used to transport people or goods, the VW van has always been hugely popular. The combination bus-utility vehicle is just one variation of many. VW vans are used by all sorts of people for all sorts of purposes. It’s a transporter, a minivan and a camper, depending on how it’s furnished. The model achieved cult status in the 1970s in the rock and hippie scenes. This documentary presents the story of the VW Transporter, both past and present. Fans of the van share personal memories of times spent on and off the road with their minibuses. One of them is former VW chairman Carl Hahn. Under his leadership, the VW bus enjoyed phenomenal success, and today there are collectors willing to pay six-figure sums for vintage vehicles.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Mont Saint Michel – The Miracle in the Sign of the Cockleshell, France
Mont Saint Michel is a unique island monastery. It lies on the border between Normandy and Brittany, on one of Europe’s most extreme tidal coastlines. A 135 year old causeway was torn down in 2015 and replaced by a bridge which allows the water to once again surround the monument at high tide, turning it back into an island. Legend has it that the Archangel Michael appeared to St. Aubert, the bishop of Avranches, in a dream around the year 708 and told him to build a church as a place of pilgrimage on this granite islet. The skeptical Bishop Aubert initially ignored the dream until the annoyed archangel, on the third attempt to persuade the bishop, poked a hole in his skull with his finger. Kept as a relic in the town of Avranche, St. Aubert’s skull does in fact sport a dent on its top. So the bishop initiated the construction of a basilica in honor of the Archangel Michael. Eventually, stormy seas cut off the mount’s connection to the mainland and swallowed up the surrounding forests. Construction nevertheless continued. In the 10th century, the Benedictines took over Mont Saint Michel and expanded on the existing complex. The construction work was not completed until some 800 years after it was begun. The result is an unparalleled ensemble of church, abbey, monastery, fortress and village, all set in a breathtaking natural landscape.

19:15 Children Exploited for Gold – The Trade in Conflict Minerals Documentary
Gold as a raw material is more in demand than ever. But few people bother to think about conditions in the gold mining industry. We visit Ghana, the Philippines and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where conditions are often life-threatening. Conditions in small-scale mining operations are especially bad. Children as young as 7 are put to work underground and underwater, and are exposed to high doses of mercury. Bloody conflicts are fought in pursuit of minerals such as gold and coltan. Rebel groups in DRC, for example, use the illegal gold trade to finance their war. In June 2016, the EU agreed on a regulation to stop the financing of armed groups through trade in conflict minerals: It requires companies to provide complete supply-chain transparency. Gold, coltan, tin and tungsten may no longer be imported to Europe from places where child labor, environmental damage and human rights abuses occur. "We need to break the vicious cycle between the trade in minerals and the financing of conflict," say EU representatives. But in eastern DRC, that goal remains a distant one.

02:30 Saving the Honeybees – Documentary
Apples, strawberries, cucumbers – it’s impossible to overestimate the importance of bees. Around one third of what we eat comes from plants pollinated by bees. Drastic die-off due to colony collapse disorder is a matter of grave concern. Experts say monocultures, parasites and pesticides are to blame. Two beekeepers from northern Germany are fighting to save their bees and humankind’s future. Mirko lives in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northeastern Germany. His bees aren’t doing very well. Last summer they nearly starved to death. That’s because once the fields of rapeseed had blossomed, the bees were left high and dry. Their problem was monoculture: every single field in the surrounding area was used to grow rapeseed. Some of Mirko’s hives were moved to an organically-managed orchard to offer his bees an additional food source not contaminated with pesticides. But it’s not just monocultures that are bad for bees. Pesticides and parasites are also a serious problem. According to figures published by the German Beekeepers Association, in some winters more than one in five bees die. Near the beekeepers' organic apiary, chemicals giant Bayer ran a test field. The company wants to use its own test results to prove that an insecticide currently banned by the EU – a neonicotinoid – isn’t harmful to bees. The two beekeepers from northern Germany disagree and their opinion is supported by respected melittologists.

19:15 Yearning for Safety – The Ordeals of Women Refugees Documentary
Men account for 70 percent of the refugees seeking shelter in Germany. Repeated calls have been made to prioritize helping vulnerable women and children over the large numbers of young men. But does Germany really offer a safe haven to the women and children who manage to make it to the country? Why is the journey so much more dangerous for women than it is for men? At the largest refugee camp in Jordan, reporters Naima El Moussaoui and Lukas Roegler discovered that violence, assault, exploitation and sexual harassment are often the price women pay for fleeing their homes in search of protection. They met courageous women who recounted their horrific experiences inside Syrian jails. And women forced to marry off their underage daughters to wealthy Gulf Arabs in order to survive. Further dangers are present on the routes to Germany and even in the country itself, inside refugee shelters. Women and children have been sexually assaulted – in some cases by the people supposed to be helping them. This report examines what happens when women are forced to flee, have been failed by the system, and are no longer willing to remain silent. It’s their hope that by telling their stories, they can encourage other women to speak up and expose the perpetrators.

19:15 The Luther Matrix – Part 2 Documentary
Martin Luther changed the world – by listening to his conscience. That's the conventional wisdom. Is Luther really a role model for moral integrity? Can the Reformation serve as a blueprint for successful social change? The Luther Matrix is a documentary thriller that blends history with contemporary politics. A heady cocktail of Martin Luther, a whistleblower, the Chancellery and the secret services, this fictitious story begins in the present day. A top-level team with the state security services is investigating a system administrator, who copied and made public documents and data and is threatening further revelations. The whistleblower is arrested, but refuses to speak during questioning. His only response is to quote Martin Luther: 'Here I stand, I can do no other.' Eventually, the investigators – played by actors – come to understand that the whistleblower’s actions were inspired by his understanding of Martin Luther and the Reformation. They embark on an intensive and exhausting exploration of Luther’s legacy. It takes them to the places where he lived and worked, as they talk to science and theology experts to find out how relevant the theologian’s message is today.

19:15 Traveling by Train in Panama – Documentary
Although much older than the famous canal, the Panama Rail Road never enjoyed the same recognition. The maiden voyage across the Isthumus of Panama in 1855 was the first train to run from ocean to ocean. Its significance was lost, however, just four decades later when the U.S. opened a route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Today a train ride along the old line is a treat for tourists. Ever since it opened for commercial operations in 1914, the Panama Canal has been greatly beneficial to the economy in Central America. Eighty-two kilometers long, it meant goods could be shipped from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast much faster; a single journey could be reduced by a good three weeks. From 1914 until 1979 the canal was under the control of the United States. For two decades it was then jointly controlled by the US and Panama and in 1999 full control was given to Panama. This incredible feat of engineering is the pride and joy of its citizens and generates around 40% of the national income. But before the canal, the Panama railway was the first to affectively connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. Today, 77-kilometre route between Balboa harbor in Panama City and the port of Cristóbal on the Atlantic is used to transport both freight and passengers. The panorama cars offer tourists a unique view of the canal. On the small islands off the Caribbean coast,

they can also visit the Kuna, an indigenous people with a unique way of life. The Casco Viejo, the historic quarter of Panama City, is also well-worth a stopover.

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 Light Pollution – The Disappearing Darkness Documentary
Night-time satellite images of the Earth show a sea of light that stretches across populated areas around the globe. The electric light-bulb has come to represent economic prosperity and the advance of modern technology. But too much light can have a negative effect on the health of both humans and animals -- and scientists are warning of the dangers of light pollution. At night, city lights kill large numbers of insects, confuse migrating birds, and rob many people of a good night's sleep. Humans have developed their day / night cycle over millions of years -- a cycle that dictates that people work during the day, and relax in the evening. Now, researchers are working on next-generation lighting systems that are more sustainable and work more efficiently.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Vladimir, Susdal and Kideksha – The Cradle of Russia
DW (English) | WED 2017-04-26 82/94
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 Tashi and the Monk – Documentary
Lobsang Phuntsok is a former Buddhist monk who spent years as a spiritual teacher in America, before returning to the Himalayan foothills of his infancy. There he has set up Jhamtse Gatsal Children’s Community, a home for abandoned children. Tashi, a little girl with a traumatic past, is the newest arrival. She will be his toughest challenge yet. Buddhist monk Lobsang Phuntsok was chosen by the Dalai Lama to share Tibetan Buddhism with the West, but left behind a life as a spiritual teacher in the US and returned to the region of his birth to try and rescue children from suffering. He set up a unique community in the foothills of the Himalayas called Jhamtse Gatsal (Tibetan for ‘The Garden of Love and Compassion'), which provides a permanent home for orphaned or abandoned children all learning to live compassionately. Tashi is new to the community of over 80 children. Her mother passed away and she was abandoned by her alcoholic father. A wild and troubled five-year-old, Tashi struggles initially to find her place in her new home. Gradually, as Lobsang and the community work their magic, we witness her transformation into someone capable of making her first real friend.

02:30 Morocco's Opportunity – Documentary
After side-stepping the Arab Spring, changes are happening in Morocco – but not in the form of political upheaval. With its modern infrastructure and low production costs, the country is courting investors. French car manufacturers in particular appreciate the close proximity to their large European market. The kingdom is keen to provide prospects for young generations by providing jobs. Is Morocco a model state for North Africa? Morocco’s experiencing an economic boom. More and more European companies are moving in. The aviation industry has also discovered Morocco: Boeing, Bombardier and Airbus all having aircraft components manufactured there. It takes less than 48 hours to deliver goods from Casablanca to Toulouse, the heart of the European aviation industry; the sector has seen a 25% growth in recent years. King Mohammed VI has spent a long time working to modernize the country. That improves the prospects of young Moroccans, who, as a result, are less apt to fall into the hands of extremists. But Morocco still has a major problem to solve: illiteracy is still high among women and the rural population. The king’s economic policies have not been fully embraced by everyone. Critics consider them opaque and accuse Mohammed VI of increasing his personal wealth with a number of complex holdings. Nevertheless, Morocco’s experiencing an economic upswing unparalleled in the Arab world.

19:15 The Neo-Nazi Network – The Driving Force Behind Far-Right Populism Documentary
Public protest in Germany is becoming increasingly aggressive. Hate-driven demonstrations against Chancellor Merkel, refugees, democracy and the rule of law have become commonplace. The Pegida marches were followed by the unexpected success of the far- right AfD party in regional elections in 2016 and have evolved into a fully-fledged movement that hopes to carry populists to power. Far-right populism is gaining traction all over the western world, from Britain and the US to France and Germany. Who exactly is driving this development? This documentary explores the connections between neo-Nazis and business, and shows how they are fanning the flames of public discontent in a bid to build up a non-parliamentary, anti-democratic movement.

19:15 The Tchaikovsky File – Confessions of a Composer Documentary
Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is a national hero to many Russians. But with homophobia still rife in Russia, the fact that he was homosexual is often glossed over. This documentary charts his life in the form of a video diary, based on the composer’s own writings – a life poised between forbidden passions and respectability. Tchaikovsky sought to hide his homosexuality, and despite fleeting affairs with men, attempted to lead the life of a respectable married man. The marriage, however, was a disaster for both him and his wife. His letters and diary entries attest to a troubled soul. Their content is worked into the film to underscore that his fate was one that still resonates today. Similarly, his music has a modernity to it that is often overlooked. Shot as though through Tchaikovsky’s own eyes, this documentary is set in present-day Berlin. ‘The Tchaikovsky File’ explores the creative process and looks at what it means to be ‘different’. It’s the story of one man preoccupied with the question: who am I?
