01:15 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?

03:15 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.

05:15 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.

07:30 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.

09:15 Yearning for Safety – The Ordeals of Women Refugees Documentary
DW (English) | MON 2017-05-01 3/99
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.

03:15 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.

09:15 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.

19:15 The Altruism Revolution – Documentary
"Homo homini lupus" – "man to man is an arrant wolfe" – wrote the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes. The history of mankind seems to confirm his belief. But a growing number of scientists are questioning this pessimistic view of human nature. Their thesis: altruism and the ability to cooperate are innate characteristics of man. Self-reliance, materialism, and greed for money seem to dominate modern society. But isn’t it also part of human nature to be selfless, and to act in the interests of others? In the last 20 years, research is increasingly challenging the belief that some sort of universal self-interest governs our actions. Psychologists, neuroscientists and primate researchers have found that so-called "prosocial behavior," including compassion, altruism, a willingness to help and the ability to cooperate with others, is a basic human trait. Developmental psychology studies of infants show that the very young are highly cooperative. Sylvie Gilman and Thierry de Lestrade accompanied scientists at work and ask, in view of global challenges that necessitate radical changes in human behavior, whether positive human character traits can be fostered – and if so, how?

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Avignon – The Palace of the Popes, France
The song "Sur le pont d’ Avignon..." has made the bridge there world famous. But its real importance dates back to the 14th century, when it was the seat of the Holy See. Having fled war torn Italy at the start of the 14th Century, the Pope settled in Avignon, and to lend the Papacy in exile suitable splendor and dignity, a huge Gothic fortress was built, which served as both a church and a palace. Avignon became the cultural focus of Europe, its population increasing from 6000 to 30,000 within 35 years. Seven French Popes resided in Avignon. For 67 years it was the seat of the Holy See and center of Christianity. But even as Avignon blossomed economically and culturally, evidence of the transience of its wealth also began to emerge. The so-called "Babylonian Captivity" ended in 1376 and Rome again became the seat of the papacy. Today Avignon is famous for its cultural heritage, and the city has been transformed into a unique backdrop for cultural events. It used to be devout pilgrims, foreign emissaries, merchants, minstrels and beggars who came to Avignon. Nowadays it’s art- and theatre-lovers who visit the one-time city of the Popes.

Street Food is about cuisine and cultural identity. Food trucks and street vendors all have a story to tell. Street food has a long tradition in the American continent. Each region has its culinary secrets, and to investigate them is to embark on a journey full of surprises. Normen Odenthal and Thomas Reichart explore street food across the American continent. Their journey starts in Portland, Oregon. On every corner, chefs in food trucks are busy frying, baking and roasting. It’s the same in Mexico. The only thing more important to Mexicans than food is family. That’s probably why Viktor Navarrete always has a smile on his face. He and his family sell what they’re convinced are the best tacos in Mexico City. In Cartagena in Colombia, fishermen gather at the market to grill their catches after a hard day’s work. In the Peruvian capital, Lima, street chefs offer just one simple but incredible dish, ceviche. Raw fish marinated in lime juice and usually served with peppers, sweet corn and sweet potatoes, ceviche is the specialty at Virginia’s roadside stand in one of Lima’s more dangerous neighborhoods, and also at international star chef Gaston Arcurio’s restaurant. And in Argentina, there’s just one thing on the menu: meat, and lots of it.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind The Seychelles, Vallée de Mai
Forty years ago, the Vallée de Mai on the Seychelles was still completely untouched. It was then that the palm forest in a remote mountain valley on the island of Praslin was designated as a nature reserve and a UNESCO world heritage site. The Vallée de Mai’s world heritage status is primarily thanks to the lodoicea fan palm tree. Weighing up to 20 kilograms, its nuts are the largest and heaviest in the world. Today the sea coconut trees, as they’re also known, can only be found on Praslin and the smaller neighboring island of Curieuse. They can live for up to 800 years and grow up to 30 meters tall – but are currently estimated to number just 4,000. The Vallée de Mai is also home to the Seychelles black parrot, a rare species that feeds on fruits and berries. Man-made nest boxes have been provided in palm trees to prevent their extinction. The island paradise is protected by a forward-thinking policy: A ban on big hotels taking over land here means the volume of tourists is limited, therefore ensuring that the Seychelles retain their idyllic appeal.

03:15 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.

Combating desertification and the threat of famine is one of the great challenges of our time. About 40 percent of the world’s land surface is drylands. Scientists estimate that heat extremes in many regions of the world will continue to increase due to climate change. The UN estimates that by 2020 in Africa alone up to 220 million more people will be suffering from water scarcity than today, leading to famines and floods of refugees.
DW (English) | THU 2017-05-04 14/99
Worldwide, more than 1.5 billion people are at risk of water scarcity. Our film shows what researchers, companies and nonprofit organizations are doing to use scarce water resources effectively and ensure people have enough food. In California, they are using high-tech to fight against the worst drought for centuries. In southern Spain, Europe's largest vegetable growing area, technology is helping to conserve dwindling freshwater resources. This is in contrast with poor countries like Burkina Faso. They are the most affected by climate change but don’t have the money or infrastructure to take advantage of modern technology. Their fight for survival mainly involves hoes and brawn.

09:15 Vaccination – How to Convince the Sceptics Documentary
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.
DW (English) | FRI 2017-05-05 16/99
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.

03:15 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.

19:15 Deserted and Desperate – How Terrorism Destroys Tourism Documentary
Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey: Islamist terror groups have long been targeting tourists in these countries, and continue to do so. Our film looks at how attacks on foreign tourists set off a disastrous chain reaction: first they bring fear, then the tourists stay away and the economy takes a nosedive, leading to job losses and more radicalization. Tourism sectors in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey have traditionally provided unskilled workers with jobs that allow them to feed their families. But with fears of terrorism affecting visitor numbers to Muslim countries, more and more people are unemployed and becoming desperate, with state help almost non-existent. Our film looks at the dire social situation in these countries, and examines the impact of anti-terrorism policies there. Tunisia’s fledgling democracy is increasingly clamping down on returnees from IS regions and tightening its security, while Egypt's military regime is pursuing a much stricter security regime and using widespread surveillance. Turkey, meanwhile, is using the fight against terrorists as a pretext to step up authoritarian controls. Filmmaker Eberhard Rühle has been to all three countries to meet people who are desperately hoping the tourists will return, and talks to politicians, terrorists, journalists and civil rights activists.

14:15 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.

19:15 Reinventing the World – 500 Years of the Reformation Part 1: The Leap to Freedom Documentary Series
500 years ago, Martin Luther’s 95 Theses led to the Protestant Reformation and a new understanding of faith – effectively opening the door to the future. The six-part series "Reinventing the World" tackles the same questions people asked themselves in Luther’s day: Who am I? What is my role in the world? The roots of the western understanding of the world go back to the ideas ushered in by the Reformation in the 16th century. It was then that humankind first began to question its role in the universe. Today we’re standing on the threshold to a new era: globalization and the digitalization are prompting a reappraisal of how we see the world. Everything is changing. "Reinventing the World" takes us on an exciting journey that begins in the 15th century, when western thought was determined by God and the church. Then Reformation and the Renaissance widened our horizons, and the era of free thought dawned. The protagonists of "Reinventing the World" are gene researchers, astrophysicists, activists, bloggers and entrepreneurs who all belong to Generation Y. They pose existential questions about our role and responsibility in the world, with their answers woven into historical reenactments featuring famous personalities from the last 500 years, whose thinking changed the world.

19:15 "Generation What?" – The Hopes and Aspirations of Europe's Young People Documentary
"Generation What?" is a Europe-wide study on how young people see their lives and the world around them. How do today’s 18 to 34-year-olds feel about work, family, friends, love, sex and politics? Some 940,000 young people in 35 European countries took part in the online survey. Our documentary meets members of "Generation What?" to discuss the results. Millennials – the generation born in the last years of the last millennium- come in for a lot of criticism. Also dubbed "Generation Y," their overriding features seem to be their political apathy and lactose intolerance. But there’s more to them that that. Digital natives, permanently connected on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, they’re a generation born and raised in a peaceful Europe, with the Euro and open borders. Presenter Sandra Rieß talks to members of Generation What? – her own generation – in her Berlin kitchen. Over potato salad with vegan curry sausage, she chats with video-blogger Wana Limar, Olympic kayaker Markus Gross and actor Louis Klamroth about the survey. How important are Germany and Europe in today’s world? Are Millennials tolerant or conservative? In Cologne, she talks to Moop Mama frontman Keno about marriage and terrorism. And she asks Christian Helten, editor of German online magazine "jetzt," about the role played by the Internet in young people’s lives.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Olinda – City of Monasteries, Brazil
"Olinda is not a city, but a garden full of masterpieces!" This poetic assessment came from a UNESCO commissioner when asked to describe Olinda in a few words. This small town in northern Brazil is actually so rich in impressions that it would be difficult to say what is more beautiful, nature or culture. When the Portuguese made landfall here for the first time in 1535, their leader Duarte Coelho Pereira was said to have cried out, "¡Ó linda!" – "Oh how beautiful!" The euphoria of the first settlers is understandable even today. Four hundred years of history is hidden in the numerous monasteries on Olinda’s eight hills. Our film shows Olinda’s distinctive blend of nature, light and architecture – although the viewer can only imagine the breeze that constantly blows from the sea and ensures pleasant temperatures in spite of the scorching sun.

19:15 Tradition and Postmodernism – South America’s Visionary Architects Documentary
Modern architecture in South America is often a fusion of tradition and modernity: postmodern designs, technical innovations and traditional decoration are all integrated into architectural styles that are as striking as they are innovative. Journalist Michael Stocks visited Brazil, Bolivia and Chile to find South America's new landmark buildings. For half a century, the historic Porto Maravilha district in Rio de Janeiro was disfigured by an elevated railway and cut off from the rest of the city. Criminal gangs gradually took over its noisy, crowded streets. After decades of neglect, billions were pumped into restoring the district for the Olympic Games in 2016. The quality of life in La Paz, Bolivia, has also increased significantly since the construction of the world's largest cableway between the government quarter and the city of El Alto. Bolivian star architect Freddy Mamani has played an important role in developing the cityscape. He calls his colorful style influenced by the continent’s indigenous tribes "Neo-Andean." Meanwhile, the coastal city of Constitución has recovered from the February 2010 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Reconstruction was quick and cheap, with half of the houses prefabricated: their owners can then build onto them when they can afford it. Alejandro Aravena and his team do not build luxury properties but cheap, high quality social apartments.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Ayutthaya – The Siamese Capital, Thailand
In the 14th Century, the Ayutthaya Kingdom – "the blessed City of Angels and Kings" grew into a major center of political power in Siam, today’s Thailand. The ruins of the bell-shaped towers and the mighty temples and monasteries still give you and idea of its former size and splendor. The destruction of the city by Burmese troops in the 18th century also brought the Ayutthaya Kingdom to an end. But mighty statues of the Buddha, including the famous "Resting Buddha," still tower among the ruins of the religious buildings Legend has it that the "Resting Buddha" once tried to preach a sermon to a giant demon but the demon would not listen, so Buddha grew to many times his original to force the demon to respect his true greatnes. The tower of the Mahathat temple is supposed to be where the historical Buddha’s remains were kept. The relics of holy men and the remains of the kings and their families were also kept in chambers beneath the towers and temples. The ruins of the temple of Wat Phra Si Sanphet are the most beautiful in the city and among the most photographed motifs in Thailand.

19:15 Traveling Iran by Train – Documentary
After travel restrictions that lasted decades, Iran has begun opening up to outside visitors. Traveling by train is a great way to get to know the country and its people. The country’s most important rail link, the Trans-Iranian Railway, runs for approximately 1400 kilometers from the Persian Gulf via Teheran to the Caspian Sea. The journey starts in Khorramshahr on the Shatt al-Arab, the river border between Iraq and Iran. Traveling past oil fields, the train reaches Shushtar. One of the top sights here is the historic hydraulic system, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After that, the train heads up into the Zagros Mountains. The journey is interrupted by a break for prayer. Breath-taking landscapes move past the train window until we reach the highest point not only of our journey but of the entire rail network: 2,200 meters above sea level between Dorud and Arak. During a brief stop in Qom, travelers can refuel with sohan, a pastry made of wheat germ, flour and sugar. The next section of the track is high-speed and we continue on to Teheran at 160 km/h. The metropolitan area is home to more than 15 million people. The last leg takes us to the north of the country. In the Alborz Mountains, we find out what role the Trans-Iranian Railway played during Stalin’s major offensive against the German army in World War II. Our oriental rail adventure ends in Bandar-e Torkaman on the Caspian Sea. On our trip, we meet incredibly hospitable people who hope that they’ll be able to lead a freer life one day.

02:30 Carl Zeiss – Reaching for the Stars Documentary
Carl Zeiss didn’t just help the German optics industry gain international standing; he also emerged as an entrepreneur with a social conscience. His brilliant legacy is still with us – in our everyday lives in smartphones and cameras as well as in highly sensitive instruments used to explore outer space. Carl Zeiss, an optician and precision engineer from Weimar, was already 30 when he set up his "Studio for Mechanics" in Jena in 1846. Nobody could have suspected back then that the name "Carl Zeiss Jena" would one day enjoy an international reputation for precision and quality in scientific instruments. Carl Zeiss managed to combine science and craftsmanship. He was one of the co-founders of the "Glastechnisches Laboratorium Schott & Genossen" in 1884, which mass-produced powerful microscopes that sold all over the world. Our portrait looks at the way a young mechanic turned into a socially conscious entrepreneur who helped build the global reputation of the German optics industry.

DW (English) | SUN 2017-05-14 44/99
Drones aka "unmanned aerial vehicles" are at the vanguard of tomorrow’s military technologies. Their operation via remote control has drawn comparisons with video games. Will this new development bring us safety and security, or bring us closer to the nightmare of a surveillance state? What do the creator of "Call of Duty" and a professor of nano-architecture have in common? Dave Anthony and James Gimzewski are both experimenters. Concrete or virtual, with quadcopters, futuristic weapons or artificial intelligence, they play with human and technical possibilities. How real are their visions of the future? How will the deployment of these new technologies affect our lives and societies? The unmanned assault aircraft of the future are modeled after predators in the animal kingdom. Perfectly functioning machines register the movement of any individual or object – at sea, on land and in the air. And they can kill autonomously. The technology has repercussions not only for our concept of war, but also our concept of ethics and morality. Karin Jurschik was granted permission to film at Israel Aerospace Industries and General Atomics in the US. Her documentary http://www.bildersturm-film.de/krieg_spiele takes viewers on a journey into a disturbing world in which the machines appear, and perhaps are, superior to humans – while we watch in fascination.

19:15 Reinventing the World – 500 Years of the Reformation Part 2: The Quest for Truth Documentary Series
A first version of mass media was born in the 17th century, and around the same time, trade became truly global. In the second episode of "Reinventing the World" we meet Johann Carolus, the man who invented the newspaper; the legendary astronomer Johannes Kepler, and the shopkeeper Anna Veltmans, who was accused of witchcraft. Johannes Kepler’s laws of planetary motion – including the proposal that planets move about the sun in elliptical orbits – revolutionized our understanding of our place in the world. Modern science was born. But women accused of witchcraft were still being burned at the stake. In this episode of "Reinventing the World" we trace the birth of the modern world and ask how far we have come in our quest for meaning and truth. Along with our historical protagonists, we hear from Pauline Tillmann, a young journalist who set up an online platform to promote long-read reporting and give women in the media more of a voice. We also meet Caroline Dorn, an astrophysicist based in Bern who researches exoplanets.

19:15 Vietnam on Two Wheels – By Moped from North to South Documentary
A red light in Hanoi! A never-ending flood of mopeds rushes past, laden with anything and everything that can be transported: five pigs in a cage, two hundred chickens or even six people. The Vietnamese are busy and quick, with an almost Italian temperament and a gentle smile. We’re on a two-wheeled journey of discovery along the Chinese border. Filmmaker Philipp Abresch explores Vietnam’s picturesque landscapes on his old moped. He scrambles up to the mountain peoples, drinks snake schnapps with rice farmers and discovers the beauties of Vietnam’s Pacific islands. The whole country’s on the go, just like the mopeds. It’s more than 40 years since the end of the Vietnam War, but where are they all going? The film crew slots into the never-ending flood of two-wheelers, diving into the busy hustle and bustle of the capital Hanoi and into Ho Chi Minh City in the south. Sometimes the experience is bitter and sad – visiting the old battlefields, for example. At the same time, they are constantly surprised how hard the Vietnamese are trying to find a way ahead after their traumatic recent history.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Fez – Labyrinth and Paradise, Morocco
Visiting the oldest quarter of Fez, you feel like you’re transported back into the stories of One Thousand and One Nights. Behind the Blue Gate lies a whole different world, with its own colors and scents. In the narrow labyrinthine alleyways, strangers are always in danger of losing their way. Handicrafts and trade made Fez a flourishing city, although the wealth remained largely hidden behind modest facades. With its many mosques and Quran schools, Fez remains Morocco's cultural and spiritual capital. A white-bearded storyteller in burnoose and kaftan serves as our tour guide, leading us to places of religious significance and palaces with inconceivable luxury. Our tour takes us through the narrow alleyways of the old quarter and the place where the prosperity first originated: the stinking, noisy tanners' district.

19:15 Call Me Altmann – The Two Lives of a War Criminal Documentary
Nearly 40 years after the end of World War II, an unrepentant Nazi war criminal sat in a barren prison cell in Lyon and wrote down his life story. Klaus Barbie, the so-called "Butcher of Lyon," was awaiting trial. This documentary reveals a new and shocking picture of his role in the Cold War. Barbie had a long and very strange career. After the war, he continued his activities in his new home, Bolivia. Embedded in a network of old Nazis and protected by Western intelligence, he worked for ruthless drug lords and international arms dealers and was able to pursue a second career as a torturer and intelligence agent in the service of brutal military dictatorships. His writings allow us an unprecedented glimpse into the psyche of an unscrupulous operator, and newly-released documents give us a detailed picture of Barbie's activities for the first time. Barbie’s story also highlights the ruthless way the Allied and German intelligence services recruited Nazi war criminals. Our film Peter takes a detailed look at a shameful episode in postwar history.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Santo Domingo – City of Christopher Columbus, Dominican Republic
On Easter Sunday 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on a Caribbean island in his ship "Santo Domingo." He named the island Hispaniola – "Little Spain" – and it became the center of the early Spanish Caribbean. Four years later, his brother founded Santo Domingo on the bluffs of the Ozama River – the oldest city founded by Europeans on American soil. Santo Domingo became the center of early Spanish Caribbean. The Cathedral of Santo Domingo, the Alcázar de Colón castle, the royal residences, the churches and the many monasteries as well as the fortifications and the first government buildings are all well preserved even now, making Santo Domingo a great example of a 16th Century Spanish city in the New World. Our film tells the story of the city from the perspective of Christopher Columbus himself. What would he think of it today? Columbus guides us through the capital of today's Dominican Republic, where he once landed when he thought he was on his way to India.

19:15 Zanzibar's First All-Female Orchestra – Documentary
The island of Zanzibar is home to a colorful mixture of ethnicities, religions and cultures. The typical musical style of this Afro-Indo-Arab melting pot is known as Taarab. But until just a few years ago, the island’s predominantly Muslim culture banned women from playing instruments in public – the most they could do was sing in otherwise all-male orchestras. Zanzibar‘s first female journalist, Mariam Hamdani, challenged the island‘s strict social rules and conventions when she founded the Tausi Women's Taarab Orchestra in 2009. She and her musicians have worked hard to spread the idea of female empowerment: some of them are now studying at the Music Academy of Zanzibar or running their own small businesses. But a lot of men are unhappy: many imams, fathers and husbands think that women who perform music in public are violating the laws of the Koran. Islam has been tightening its grip on Zanzibar‘s multicultural life over the past few decades, so the Tausi Women's Taarab Orchestra’s continued survival cannot be taken for granted. Our film tells a story of courageous women pushing for change in Zanzibar.

02:30 Facing Extinction? – Germany’s Native Species in Danger Documentary
European hares, red kites and bats: their populations are dwindling at an ever-faster rate. Have German conservation policies failed? There are too many agro-chemicals and too much urban sprawl and natural habitats for native species are disappearing fast. Experts estimate around a third of all species in Germany are threatened. Almost half of Germany’s 72,000 indigenous plant, animal and fungus species are now on the Red List, according to a report published by Germany’s Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Four percent have already become extinct. It’s not just agrochemicals and concrete that are the problem: New dangers such as wind farms are death traps for raptors and bats. Conservation policy has to adapt to these new challenges, but nature conservation organizations complain that progress is far too slow. Species have always gone extinct and new ones have come into existence. This has been a natural process for millions of years. But never before in the history of our planet have species disappeared at such a pace. Between 2009 and 2011, the list of endangered species grew by 10 percent and the survey currently under way for the updated list shows that this trend is continuing. And it’s mainly Man that’s responsible.

19:15 Cuba – Nostalgia and Change Documentary
Since Fidel Castro's revolution of 1959, Cuba has been poised between nostalgia and new beginnings. With its vintage cars and crumbling facades, Havana looks like it’s stuck in a time warp. But young Cubans are optimistic about the future, and material shortages make for inventiveness. Still, behind the scenes, everyday life is often dreary. After more than 57 years of socialist revolution, everyday life in Cuba remains bleak. Young Cubans in particular have become adept at finding improvised solutions. To compensate for the lack of a reliable Internet, for example, they invented "El Paquete," an elaborate information network that stretched across the island thanks to portable hard drives. It brings the Bundesliga, telenovelas and US TV shows to even the most remote villages. As the 1962 missile crisis finally fades into history, Cuba is slowly opening up. The owner of Havana’s most chic restaurant, "La Guarida," has reached a deal with some young architects: The profits from the restaurant will go towards restoring the old mansion it’s housed in. This kind of trade-off is increasingly common. Our documentary shows a country caught between upbeat dreams for the future and nostalgic melancholy. It takes us from Havana to Santiago de Cuba, a city famous for its rum, to the Sierra Maestra Mountains, steeped in revolutionary romance, and the white, sandy beaches in the north of the island.

19:15 Reinventing the World – 500 Years of the Reformation Part 3: The Road to Equality Documentary Series
The 18th century saw our horizons broaden. In the third episode of our series "Reinventing the World", we meet historical figures who believed that humanity holds the key to creating a better world – and contemporary thinkers pursuing similar goals today. This episode features Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the philosopher and mathematician who posited the idea that humankind lives in the best of all possible worlds, and are rational beings capable of bringing order to chaos. We also explore the life and times of German playwright Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and French revolutionary Olympe de Gouges. Today, nearly 300 years after they lived, the digital age is seen by many as the fulfillment of the dream of the enlightened individual. In the 17th century – the century of the Enlightenment – the new faith in reason laid the foundations for modern, western society. Our present-day protagonists include feminist blogger Laurie Penny and architect and visionary Van Bo Le- Mentzel.

19:15 A Mexican Murder Story – Documentary
Finnish human rights activist Jyri Jaakkola was killed by paramilitaries in Oaxaca, a state in southwestern Mexico, in 2010. Since then his mother has been trying bring her son’s murderers to justice. Our film looks at the depressing reality of human rights and the culture of impunity in Mexico. When Jaakkola and fellow human rights activist Betty Cariño were killed in Oaxaca, it sparked an international outcry. They were killed when the human rights caravan that had been trying to protect the indigenous community of San Juan Copala from paramilitary attacks was itself attacked. Despite the tireless efforts of Jyri’s mother, Eva, the guilty have never been brought to trial. The documentary evolves from the personal story of an individual struggling for justice to a larger narrative about the struggle against the culture of impunity that prevails in Mexico even now.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Ngorongoro – Noah's Crater, Tanzania
Every morning sees the same spectacle: thick fog drifts down 500 meters from the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and dissolves shortly before it reaches ground level. With the fog come the animals: elephants, gazelle and antelopes, baboons and monkeys, lions, jackals and hyenas – crowding into the confined bowl of the crater. The crater floor forms an oval 19 kilometers long and 17 wide with a lake of nitric water in the middle that almost evaporates during the dry season, laving a white salt flat. What water is left looks pink because of the flocks of flamingos that inhabit the crater. During the day, Massai tribesmen herd their cattle down from the edge of the crater and let them graze side by side with buffalo, wildebeest and zebra, although the pride of the gamekeepers, the few rhinos there, rarely show themselves on the slopes. The relative seclusion and abundance of water have turned the crater floor into a verdant haven for wildlife, a Noah’s Ark for endangered species. Our film travels through the area, capturing unique wildlife scenes on film.

19:15 Bugs – Nature's little Superheroes Documentary
Think insects are pests? Think again. Our visually stunning documentary shows how these tiny geniuses can help us solve some of science’s biggest problems – from producing biofuels to killing drug-resistant bacteria and curing cancer. Insects are the most diverse group of animals on the planet, making up more than 90 percent of the animals on Earth. We find them on all continents and in all climate zones. Nature has equipped them with an amazing range of tricks. Some of them protect their bodies by producing the strongest materials on earth. Others have the most effective immune systems of the animal kingdom – far better than ours. Wouldn’t it be great to learn some of their tricks? Researchers are applying some of them to everyday medical problems, developing super-antibiotics, anti-cancer medications and enzymes that will turn waste products into energy. Using custom-made cameras and special filming techniques, this film shows us how the pharmaceuticals and food industries, agriculture and chemical companies are learning from the realm of insects.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Antonio Gaudí – Barcelona's Great Architect, Spain
On June 12 1926 thousands of people gathered on the streets of Barcelona to pay their last respects to an outstanding architect, Antonio Gaudi. The city is still home to a large number of Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces, including the unfinished Sagrada Familia, the Palau Güell and the world-famous Casa Milá. Just a leisurely stroll will take you around all of them in a single afternoon. The path goes through the Parc Guell, past some of Gaudi’s houses to the Güell Palace and Casa Batllo and then ends at the Casa Mila, his most celebrated residential building. The path through Barcelona is also a path to Gaudi, who dominated the city as a landscape architect, decorator, town planners and artist. Gaudi has become a symbol of Spanish architecture: his style reveals the history of Spain, with its merger Arab and Christian cultural influences.

19:15 Welcome to Refugeestan – Documentary
Around 17 million people worldwide are "undesirables:" displaced persons, refugees and migrants living on the margins of nation states. The people who nobody wants are living in "Refugistan", under the supervision of the UN refugee agency UNHCR. The film provides a harrowing insight into the lives of the occupants of refugee camps from Tanzania to Kenya and Jordan. "Refugistan" comes 60th in the ranking of the most populous countries in the world. This is where the people nobody wants live, under the supervision of the UNHCR and with the support of large NGOs. Together they ensure reasonable living conditions in the camps: in Tanzania, for example, where tens of thousands of Burundians are stranded. Or at Dadaab in the Kenyan desert, for the last 25 years site of the world's largest supermarket, christened by humanitarian workers "the monster." Or in Jordan, where the UNHCR is trying out a new support infrastructure for Syrian civil war refugees in the camp at Asrak. In theory, the camps are a temporary fallback solution but in practice refugees spend an average of 17 years of their lives there.

02:30 The Lone Huntress – Laura of Arabia Documentary
Laura Wrede from Munich is easily the best-known foreigner in the emirate of Qatar, but also the most controversial one. She shares a great passion of Qatari men, falconry -and she’s the only woman in this completely male-dominated sport. "Impossible," you may say: "But," says Laura self-confidently, ‘it’s a rule I’ve really rather broken.’ She has chosen to pursue a hobby in a male-dominated field in a male-dominated society. Laura Wrede loves falconry. The German has even been spat at in Qatar – but only rarely, she assures us. The turban she wears is really only meant for men too. A sheikh rebuked her for it but she just replied: "Yes, but I’m wearing it anyway." Now 30, she’s been living in Qatar for five years, where she runs the office of an international marketing agency. At four in the morning, long before her workday starts, she trains her two falcons Rahmat and Shekat. Her goal is to take part in Al Galayel, the biggest falconry championship on the Arabian Peninsula. It goes without saying that she’ll be the first woman ever, and the only one this time. Will the sheikhs let her take part?

19:15 The Darknet – A Trip through the Digital Underworld Documentary
The Darknet isn’t just a shadowy world where drug traffickers, arms traders and child molesters can operate with little risk of being found out, it’s a vital refuge for journalists, whistleblowers and victims of political persecution around the world. In fact, for people in countries with oppressive governments, the Darknet can be the key to survival. Journalist Annette Dittert sets out to explore risks and opportunities in this digital parallel universe. She meets a drug dealer, who is a 45-year-old father with a family in the real world, and a gunmaker who was caught by police after making a mistake during a delivery. The Darknet has changed the criminal underworld completely. But crime-fighters are tooling up as well. Germany’s federal detectives, the BKA, are employing more and more covert investigators to comb the hidden net. In Istanbul, Dittert talks to Turkish journalist Baris Pehlivan, whose computer was infected by the Turkish government with a Trojan to locate incriminating documents on his hard drive, resulting in a 19-month prison sentence. The Syrian journalists‘ group "Raqqa is being slaughtered silently" uses Darknet technologies to report on atrocities in the Islamic State stronghold. Dittert also talks to "white-hat hacker" Claudio Guarnieri, who travels the world teaching journalists and human rights activists about digital security. Annette Dittert's journey through the Darknet takes her deep into a whole new world.

19:15 Reinventing the World – 500 Years of the Reformation Part 4: The Dream of Justice Documentary Series
Industrialization in the 19th century brought with it fundamental change. Increasingly, all sectors of society had access to information and news from around the world. As urban populations boomed, new forms of exploitation and injustice emerged. What remained in the industrial age of traditional Christian values such as justice and charity? Does untrammeled capitalism take its toll on the soul? How did the world’s first global news agency affect the way we see the world and our value systems? These questions are at the heart of the fourth episode in our series "Reinventing the World". The 19th century was shaped by entrepreneurs like Paul Julius Reuter, founder of the Reuters news agency. Friedrich Engels was the son of an entrepreneur and a fierce critic of capitalism. 200 years later, entrepreneur David Diallo from Berlin founded an online magazine about sustainable economic strategies. We also meet Sheppard Pepper, a young American who lives in Paris and works as a photographer. In different ways, both Diallo and Pepper seek answers to the question: how can the world be made a fairer place? Why is there such a gulf between ideals and reality in business and politics? And how much responsibility do individuals have to society?

19:15 The Mystery of the Mutiny – The Bounty’s Logbook Documentary
In 1787, the British ship "HMS Bounty" set off on a voyage that is still one of the most famous in naval history. Its captain, William Bligh, 33 years old, had made a name for himself as a navigator under the famous explorer James Cook. This trip was less exciting – at least at first. The Bounty first headed to Tahiti to collect a cargo of breadfruit plants. The ship stayed there a month before setting sail for the Caribbean. But on the 28th of April 1789, one of the ship’s officers, Fletcher Christian, led the crew in a mutiny and cast Bligh adrift in lifeboat with a few loyal followers. The mutiny on the Bounty has been the subject of numerous films and books. But what really happened that night? Bligh's two ship’s logs are preserved in the Mitchell Library in Sydney, Australia, and new information surfaced during their recent restoration that throws a whole new light on events. We recount a tale of betrayal and falsehood, duty and temptation, and dreams of a better life.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind Epidaurus – Ancient Sanctuary and Centre of Healing, Greece
Behind the Arachneon Mountains in the eastern part of Greece’s Argolic Peninsula is the ancient city of Epidaurus. Mild dry air and a hot spring with healing properties bubbling out of the ground were assets that were attributed to the mythological god of healing, Asclepius, in classical Greece. Asclepius was seen as the protector of the sick, so what better than to build this God a sanctuary. But more interesting than the temple, of which only the foundations are preserved, is a theater founded in the 3rd Century BC. It is one of the best preserved in Greece and today theater festivals take place before this impressive backdrop.

19:15 Monsoon, Part 1 – Documentary
The monsoon is a dramatic natural spectacle. In India, it’s seen by many as the life-blood of the country. Filmmaker Sturla Gunnarsson followed the monsoon rains from the shores of the Indian Ocean to the foothills of the Himalayas. On the way, he talks to meteorologists, farmers, fishermen, scientists, artists and ordinary people about the meaning and symbolism of the monsoon. Every year towards the end of May, the winds in India change direction, sucking moist air from over the ocean and depositing it inland as torrential rainfall. The beginning of the monsoon rains marks the end of the dry season. About 75 percent of the annual precipitation in India falls between June and September, and millions of people still get most of their fresh water from the monsoon rains. And every year as the first thunderstorms cloud the horizon, people give voice to the same fears: if the rain is too strong, it will sweep away houses and people and destroy crops; but if it rains too little, the fields won’t get enough water, crops will fail and food prices will skyrocket. The monsoon has been a source of hope or despair in India for millennia, something that unites all peoples on the subcontinent, regardless of their religious, cultural, social and geographical differences. A film that explores the social, cultural and scientific aspects of one of the world‘s most impressive natural spectacles.

21:15 Treasures of the World – Heritage of Mankind The Colosseum of El Djem – The Golden Crown of Africa, Tunisia
The huge amphitheater of El Jem, in the barren steppe of central Tunisia, was one of the largest in the Roman Empire and almost on a par with the Colosseum in Rome. The Colosseum of El Jem stands like a spectacular monolith in the desert – 150 meters long by 120 meters wide and 36 meters high. It could hold up to 35,000 spectators. Built around 238 AD, it bears witness to the flourishing culture of ancient Thysdrus, which was the Roman Empire’s second largest city in Africa after Carthage. The vast ruins still conjure up images of gladiators fighting wild animals, murderous chariot races and the cries of thousands of spectators. The three-tiered construction, featuring countless stone arches, glows gold in the evening sun. The monument highlights the sheer confidence and ambition of the citizens of ancient Thysdrus, who set about building an arena of this size in the middle of the desert – far removed from the sea or any trade routes.
