01:15 DocFilm Lovesick - The Marriage Market for Indian HIV Patients
One doctor in India gave many of her HIV/AIDs patients hope by helping them find partners. More than two million Indians are HIV positive. Many conceal their illness because of the stigma. Doctor and microbiologist Suniti Solomon was a pioneer in India in the field of HIV and AIDs. She diagnosed the first AIDs cases on the subcontinent among prostitutes in Chennai. But she also made a name for herself because of her matchmaking. She gave new hope to patients who had become isolated because of the social stigma attached to the disease, bringing together countless couples, such as Karthik and Manu. With the doctor’s help, they found each other, a new life, and a new outlook on living with HIV. Suniti Solomon died in 2015.

01:15 DocFilm Pablo Escobar’s Successors - Cocaine in Colombia
Colombia's cocaine production dropped after Pablo Escobar's death. But today, it is soaring again. The South American country has once again become the world's leading producer of the drug. This documentary follows the trails of the cocaine cartels. Pablo Escobar was probably the most powerful, dangerous and unscrupulous drug lord who ever lived. His assassination by the police in 1993 was preceded by fights between rival drug gangs. In the years following his death, new leaders took control, and today cocaine trade in Colombia is once again a booming business. Spanish journalist David Beriain accompanies the Colombian armed forces in Operation Agamemnon, which aims to crush the most influential drug cartel in Colombia. Beriain also visits a cocaine laboratory and gains fascinating insight into the drug's production process.

01:15 DocFilm Embargo - Iran and the US Sanctions
For more than 40 years international embargoes have shaped life in Iran. The 2015 nuclear deal gave rise to hope about opening up the country’s economy. But this was short-lived. The Trump administration quickly launched a wave of fresh sanctions. Today, relationships between Tehran and Washington continue to deteriorate and the Iranian economy is suffering under the weight of US sanctions. Iran is threatening the stability of the Middle East. But with record inflation, falling standards of living and limited medical supplies, are the Iranian people the ones paying the highest price for the embargo? The extent of the sanctions has varied according to the political and military tensions between the US and Iran. The signing of the nuclear deal in 2015 and the international community’s promise to relax sanctions gave hope to the Iranian people. The country would finally be open to foreign investment. But two years later, those hopes were dashed. The US introduced even stricter sanctions, with an incalculable geopolitical fallout. Europe, China and Russia say they want to preserve the nuclear deal, but foreign companies are turning their backs on Iran for fear of American reprisals. This documentary looks behind the scenes of this shadow war. It questions the political effectiveness of these sanctions and reveals the impact they are having on diplomacy, trade and everyday life.

01:15 DocFilm Oil Promises - Ghana’s Dreams of Black Gold - Part 1
When oil was discovered in Ghana in 2007, the country began to dream big. It dreamed that the ‘black gold’ would bring economic upswing and long-awaited prosperity to its nation. But what happens when dreams and globalization meet? The global economy continues to rely on oil — but the so-called ‘black gold’ is becoming scarce. If a country has oil, so we tend to believe, it has all it needs to become a wealthy country. When oil was discovered in Ghana in 2007, Ghanaians also believed that economic prosperity would soon sweep over their country. By 2010, drilling had started. Ghana was determined to do better than Nigeria, a country that exports oil, but has to import gasoline. This documentary, shot over a period of ten years, is a case study of globalization. Filmed in a coastal region where people lived off fishing and rubber cultivation for decades, it shows the impact the oil discovery has had on their lives. Would the promises come true? Would the ‘black gold’ bring modern life and progress, paved streets, electricity and jobs even to small villages? Filmmaker Elke Sasse and journalist Andrea Stäritz spent ten years documenting the developments on Ghana’s western coast. Nigerian animator Ebele Okoye adds her personal perspective through art, as a citizen of a nation hit by the oil curse.

22:02 Faith Matters - The Church Program Pastoral Care - In Spite of Covid
The first acute phase of the pandemic, in March 2020, resulted in a number of tragic deaths in German hospitals and senior citizens’ residences. To prevent new infections all visits from outsiders were prohibited. People died alone. Families were not permitted to see their relatives, and clergy were often not admitted to console the dying. One family in the western German town Duisburg had an especially painful experience. Eighty-three-year-old Annemarie Hucks was admitted to an Intensive Care Unit with blood poisoning. She required breathing support. Then hospital visits were banned. Family members and clergy were unable to see her. The elderly patient was hearing-impaired; she couldn’t even use a phone. After seven weeks’ isolation she died — alone. For her husband and children even the funeral provided little comfort. Covid restrictions meant that no more than twelve mourners were allowed to attend. The local pastor decided that ways must be found to avoid such sad situations in future. Now some hospitals are making exceptions. Applying strict protective measures, they permit, often at short notice, a final visit from a pastor. The Conference of Hospital Chaplains in the German Evangelical Church say their members are prepared to be available to the dying in their final hour — in spite of the risk of infection. The Conference says these pastors have sufficient experience dealing with infectious patients. Our report reveals how the problem was handled in hospitals and residences during the first wave of the pandemic, and investigates how a more humane approach might be possible in the continuing crisis.

01:15 DocFilm Lone Wolf Terrorism - How Outsiders Become Assassins
On 9 October 2019, Neo-Nazi Stephan Balliet set out on a killing spree. His target was the Jewish community in Halle in eastern Germany. A well-locked synagogue door prevented dozens of murders on the holiest day of the Jewish year, Yom Kippur. The assassin was described as a lone wolf. Not a single security authority had the right-wing extremist on their radar. Stephan Balliet shot two people dead and injured two others during the attack, which he live streamed online using a helmet camera. He managed to prepare for the attack completely undetected. There’s been a sharp rise in so-called "lone wolf terrorism" in recent years. Individual perpetrators become radicalized online and justify their murders with fascist manifestos. In Christchurch, New Zealand, a far-right assailant killed 51 people in two mosques and injured 50 more, some of them seriously. The mass shooting near Munich’s Olympia shopping mall in 2016 followed a similar pattern. The "lone wolves" and their followers socialize in anonymous internet forums. The manner of their attacks is constantly evolving, for example with the use of live streaming. But how deep does this network run? Security forces are often poorly positioned in the virtual world, and they’re forced to work at a regional or national level to try to tackle the global phenomenon. This documentary delves into the world of the lone wolves and explores the mechanisms behind this radicalization.

01:15 DocFilm Liu Xiaobo - The Man who Defied Beijing
Liu Xiaobo was a key figure of the Tiananmen uprising, and was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. Yet few in China know his name, as the government continues to try to erase him from collective memory. Liu Xiaobo was a human rights hero and intellectual who kept watch at Tiananmen Square in 1989 to protect protestors from encroaching soldiers. In 2008 he wrote the Charter 08, a pro-democracy charter that led to his arrest. When he was awarded the Nobel peace Prize in 2010 while in prison, Liu Xiaobo became China’s Nelson Mandela or Václav Havel. Yet many Chinese do not know much about him. This documentary tells the exceptional story of Liu Xiaobo, a man who valued freedom, who courageously spoke the truth, and never considered going into exile to save himself. He wanted to stay in China, and he did so until the end. But he never had a chance to address the Chinese public. Before Liu Xiaobo died in 2017, he had officially gained medical parole, but remained under guard even in hospital, and was kept silent. To this day, Beijing continues to try to erase his name from collective memory. Yet Liu Xiaobo is one of the great figures in the history of China and the world. This film tells Liu Xiaobo’s legacy. It includes interviews with those closest to him, such as his wife Liu Xia, as well as a long interview Liu Xiaobo delivered before his arrest. This interview can be described as his own political legacy. It was unearthed while searching through archives for this documentary by French journalist Pierre Haski, who met Liu Xiaobo regularly during his time as a China correspondent.

01:15 DocFilm Beethoven's Ninth - Symphony for the World - Part 1
Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony may be the most popular piece of classical music in the world. This documentary showcases current interpretations and introduces passionate personalities who bring us closer to Beethoven and his work. Among the protagonists featured in the seven stories that make up this film are Chinese composer and Oscar prize-winner Tan Dun, English composer Gabriel Prokofiev, and the Greek-Russian conductor Teodor Currentzis. He has no doubt about the significance of this symphony: "If somebody from another planet asks, "What is human civilization?” what can you say? It's better to play the 9th Symphony. It is evidence of human civilization.”
In 1817 the Royal Philharmonic Society in London commissioned Beethoven to compose his Ninth Symphony. Almost two centuries later, the same organization commissioned Chinese composer Tan Dun to write a choral work, "Nine,” inspired by Beethoven's Ninth. The documentary follows Tan Dun as his composition evolves. It also traces different renditions of the symphony around the globe. Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis and his Russian orchestra MusicAeterna shake up the Salzburg Festival with an uncompromising interpretation. In the Congolese capital Kinshasa, the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste approaches the work under difficult conditions. Meanwhile, in Osaka in Japan rehearsals are underway for a performance of the Ninth with a chorus of 10,000 amateur singers conducted by Yutaka Sado. In Barcelona, Spain hearing-impaired young people feel their way to Beethoven’s work together with deaf musicologist Paul Whittaker and members of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. In a poor neighborhood of Sao Paolo in Brazil, the youth orchestra Sinfonica Heliópolis prepares to perform the Ninth. A different approach to Beethoven’s work is taken by composer and DJ Gabriel Prokofiev in his "Beethoven 9 Symphonic Remix" which he presented at the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, Germany.

01:15 DocFilm From Ghetto to Parliament - The Incredible Story of Bobi Wine
He’s one of Uganda’s most popular musicians and an elected member of parliament: Bobi Wine. Now he has his sights on the country’s top job. His real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, his mission - to fight for democracy and justice, inspiring hope among many. In the 2021 elections, Uganda’s authoritarian president Yoweri Museveni is hoping to secure an unprecedented sixth term in office. That could extend his rule to nearly four decades. But Bobi Wine has other plans - he’s bidding for the presidency himself, in the hope of bringing change to Uganda. We follow the rebel-reggae star out on the campaign trail in 2019 as he seeks to defend his seat in parliament and win support for a presidential candidacy. His message - stop corruption, violence and the abuse of power - has angered much of the political elite. The stakes are high and the campaigning marred by bitterness and intimidation. Bobi Wine uses social media and his concerts to spread his political message and has a lot of support amongst younger population. But will he succeed in his mission to bring change to Uganda?

01:15 DocFilm Oil Promises - Ghana’s Dreams of Black Gold - Part 2
When oil was discovered in Ghana in 2007, the country began to dream big. It dreamed that the ‘black gold’ would bring economic upswing and long-awaited prosperity to its nation. But what happens when dreams and globalization meet? The global economy continues to rely on oil — but the so-called ‘black gold’ is becoming scarce. If a country has oil, so we tend to believe, it has all it needs to become a wealthy country. When oil was discovered in Ghana in 2007, Ghanaians also believed that economic prosperity would soon sweep over their country. By 2010, drilling had started. Ghana was determined to do better than Nigeria, a country that exports oil, but has to import gasoline. This documentary, shot over a period of ten years, is a case study of globalization. Filmed in a coastal region where people lived off fishing and rubber cultivation for decades, it shows the impact the oil discovery has had on their lives. Would the promises come true? Would the ‘black gold’ bring modern life and progress, paved streets, electricity and jobs even to small villages? Filmmaker Elke Sasse and journalist Andrea Stäritz spent ten years documenting the developments on Ghana’s western coast. Nigerian animator Ebele Okoye adds her personal perspective through art, as a citizen of a nation hit by the oil curse.

22:02 DocFilm Superfoods - Is Healthy Eating Just Hype?
Are superfoods all that they’re cracked up to be? There’s plenty of worldwide hype about eating chia seeds, goji berries and quinoa - but what benefits do they really bring? This documentary looks at what superfoods do for people and more. How is the healthy eating boom influencing agriculture and business? There are more and more restaurants serving superfoods in Germany. Florian Klar of Bochum opened the first superfood bistro in the Ruhr region about a year ago. He buys in all types of food, using local suppliers when he can, but he also uses exotic superfoods in his meals. Quinoa, goji berries and chia seeds can now all be found in supermarkets as well. The food industry has discovered selling these products is lucrative and changed its product selection accordingly. Superfoods are simply that a foodstuff contains a high amount of nutrients. "Every country has its own superfood,” says nutritionist Matthias Riedl. Blueberries, flax seed, blackcurrants, and kale are all superfoods native to Germany. The film also takes viewers to Bolivia, a key quinoa exporter, to see how the hype has influenced farming there. Exports of the so-called "Inca corn” quadrupled between 2007 and 2013. The rising price of quinoa on global markets has led Andean farmers to increase the size of their fields. Yet after just two straight years of quinoa harvests, the soil is already exhausted and barren.

01:15 DocFilm Fall of the USSR - The Soviet-Afghan War
The Soviet deployment in Afghanistan triggered a 10-year conflict that changed the world. This film unveils the full story of this war, which marked the beginning of the fall of the USSR. In April 1978, Afghanistan’s President Mohammed Daoud Khan was overthrown and murdered in a coup d’état led by communist rebels. But not everyone in the conservative country welcomed the communist reforms, and a number of insurgencies arose against the new government. In an attempt to prop up the regime, Leonid Brezhnev sent Soviet troops to Kabul. It was supposed to be a short deployment. But the conflict with the anti-communist Muslim guerrillas, the mujahideen, intensified, and the Red Army ended up remaining in Afghanistan for almost ten years.
This was a time when America had an interest in weakening the Soviet Union’s economy and military. After Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1981, the United States increased its military aid to the mujahideen, using Pakistan and its intelligence service as a go-between. Thus, Soviet troops were not only fighting the mujahideen. Afghanistan became a proxy battleground for the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
By the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was disintegrating. Their army had taken heavy causalities in Afghanistan, and the Soviet population were openly rejecting the war. Mikhail Gorbachev withdrew from the war, but the tide could no longer be turned. A few months after the withdrawal of the last Soviet troops from Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Two and a half years later, the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
Through exclusive archive material, this documentary unveils the full story of the war that spelt the beginning of the end for the USSR.

01:15 DocFilm The Pope and Hitler - Opening the Secret Files on Pius XII
The Vatican opened once-secret records on Pope Pius XII on March 2020. This gave researchers a brand new insight into the Catholic Church during the Nazi era. What did the Pope know about the Holocaust? Pius XII, born Eugenio Pacelli, is one of the most controversial figures in recent church history. New archive material sheds light on his career and politics. As ambassador of the Holy See in Germany and Cardinal Secretary of State of the Vatican, Pacelli witnessed Hitler’s rise to power. He was elected Pope in 1939, just months before the start of World War II. But what role did he play during the Holocaust? Many accuse him of shirking his responsibilities; of complicit silence while minorities were murdered, especially the Jewish. Just days after the archives opened, church historian Hubert Wolf discovered a document describing the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto. Pope Pius XII read the paper on 27 September 1942, but its contents were never published. Nor were the notes in the margins by members of the Secretariat of State. But the Vatican claimed for decades that nothing was kept from the public. Defenders of Pius XII say he acted in secret to save the lives of many Jews. Thousands were hidden in church institutions, and the Roman Curia helped them to escape abroad. But the credibility of the Roman Curia during the Holocaust is now at stake, with many still unanswered questions. Why did Pius XII not join the Allies’ protest in December 1942 against the extermination of the Jews?

01:15 DocFilm Beethoven's Ninth - Symphony for the World - Part 2
Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony may be the most popular piece of classical music in the world. This documentary showcases current interpretations and introduces passionate personalities who bring us closer to Beethoven and his work. Among the protagonists featured in the seven stories that make up this film are Chinese composer and Oscar prize-winner Tan Dun, English composer Gabriel Prokofiev, and the Greek-Russian conductor Teodor Currentzis. He has no doubt about the significance of this symphony: "If somebody from another planet asks, "What is human civilization?” what can you say? It's better to play the 9th Symphony. It is evidence of human civilization.”
In 1817 the Royal Philharmonic Society in London commissioned Beethoven to compose his Ninth Symphony. Almost two centuries later, the same organization commissioned Chinese composer Tan Dun to write a choral work, "Nine,” inspired by Beethoven's Ninth. The documentary follows Tan Dun as his composition evolves. It also traces different renditions of the symphony around the globe. Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis and his Russian orchestra MusicAeterna shake up the Salzburg Festival with an uncompromising interpretation. In the Congolese capital Kinshasa, the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste approaches the work under difficult conditions. Meanwhile, in Osaka in Japan rehearsals are underway for a performance of the Ninth with a chorus of 10,000 amateur singers conducted by Yutaka Sado. In Barcelona, Spain hearing-impaired young people feel their way to Beethoven’s work together with deaf musicologist Paul Whittaker and members of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. In a poor neighborhood of Sao Paolo in Brazil, the youth orchestra Sinfonica Heliópolis prepares to perform the Ninth. A different approach to Beethoven’s work is taken by composer and DJ Gabriel Prokofiev in his "Beethoven 9 Symphonic Remix" which he presented at the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, Germany.

01:15 DocFilm US Politics for Sale - Might of the Mega Rich
Billionaires in the US hold great political sway over the country. The Koch brothers are just one example. With their huge fortune, they spent decades creating an ultra-conservative network of organizations, initiatives and think tanks. This so-called "dark money" — used to covertly buy political influence — is a big problem in the US, but mostly completely legal. The goal of entrepreneurs Charles G. Koch and his brother David H. Koch, who died in 2019, was to empower America’s right wing by deregulating environmental protection and workers’ rights. Their empire, Koch Industries, trades oil among other commodities. And so the right changes to the law can make them even richer. The brothers quietly pay millions of dollars to finance election campaigns, skew public opinion, and bolster politicians who support their agenda. And the Koch brothers aren’t the only ones.

01:15 DocFilm The Memory Illusion - When Our Minds Play Tricks on Us
We tend to trust our memories, but what we remember isn’t always exactly what happened. Research has shown that we can have false memories, and that our brains can alter the details of past events even after we have stored these in our memory. We like to think that our brains function a little like cameras. Something happens, our brain records it, and then that memory is stored away. But what if memories can be altered after they have been stored? What if sometimes we remember things that didn’t actually happen? Neuroscientists have been exploring the mystery of human memory for decades and their most recent findings reveal startling truths about the human brain. Our memories turn out to not be like pictures or videos; they are not precise recordings of what happened that capture every important detail. Instead, our memories can fade or smudge, like writing on paper. But there are reasons for these imprecisions and memory illusions, as the scientists in this documentary explain.

22:02 DocFilm The Daughter of... - Abducted in Argentina
Micaela Verón was just three when her mother Marita was abducted. She’s been missing ever since. Micaela’s childhood in Argentina was centered around the search for her. Now 19, she’s living alone for the first time — without police protection. When Marita Verón disappeared in 2002, her abduction turned into a political issue in Argentina. She became a symbol in the fight against human trafficking and forced prostitution. Her daughter Micaela has lived in the shadow of this tragedy almost all her life, as has her grandmother Susana Trimarco, who still searches tirelessly for Marita. Susana is the co-founder of a burgeoning women’s movement in Argentina and has become a national icon. Micaela, however, is still learning to find her own way. She decided to leave her home city of Tucumán to be without her family and relatives. She started a new life in Córdoba, where the 19-year-old is now completely on her own for the first time. Micaela, whose face has been splashed across the news all of her life, wants to leave the past behind her and identify as something more than a victim. She finds support in her friend Mica, her dog Charly and the rise of feminism in Argentina.

01:15 DocFilm Northern Lights - Life within the Arctic Circle - Part 1 From Svalbard to Siberia
The Arctic is one of the most fascinating regions on our planet, and one of the most threatened. Two film crews explore its spectacular wilderness in a two-part documentary. Part one takes viewers from Norway’s Svalbard archipelago to Siberia. The region around the North Pole is one of the greatest and least-known wildernesses in the world, and it’s rapidly changing due to global warming. The retreat of Arctic sea ice can be observed everywhere along the Arctic Circle, presenting those who live there with dramatic changes. This documentary takes viewers on a journey through the Arctic circle and explores those changes. It begins in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, a place to see one of nature’s most spectacular displays — the northern lights. With the ice retreating, cruise ships can now travel further north than was previously possible. This places a strain on the fragile ecosystem. But more visitors may also mean more awareness about the risks that face the region, and more motivation to protect the Arctic. But as if often the case, protecting nature in the Arctic is at odds with economic interests. Russia, in particular, is keen to sell Arctic fossil fuels to the rest of world. The film next takes viewers to the gas-rich Yamal Peninsula in northwestern Siberia, where the Russian company Novatek has built the northernmost industrial facility on the globe. Further East in Yakutia, two noises fill the air: the relentless buzzing of mosquitoes that infest the Siberian tundra in summer, and the steady dripping of the thawing permafrost on the banks of the Kolyma River. The film’s journey ends in Chukotka in the northeast of Russia, a region closer to Alaska than to the Russian capital Moscow.

01:15 DocFilm Scent of Freedom - Coffee and the Maya
An old idea has been freshly brewed in Guatemala: the cooperative. With private funding from Europe, indigenous small-scale coffee farmers are defying the most adverse conditions in a country that’s been plagued by a bloody civil war. By forming a cooperative, small farmers in Guatemala have managed to become one of the country’s biggest coffee exporters. Coffee has a long but brutal history for the Guatemalan Maya, as their land was stolen, and they were forced to work on plantations of big German landowners. But around 30 years ago, the small businesses organized as a cooperative. Now, they export their coffee all over the world. The cooperative’s manager is Swiss Ulrich Gurtner. His goal has always been to boost the farmers’ economic independence and thus the social emancipation of the Maya people. So far, 24,000 smallholders have joined the Fedecocagua cooperative. Selling the farmers’ coffee directly on the stock market cuts out the need for intermediaries, who can be exploitative. It also frees the farmers of development aid dependency. But the situation in Guatemala remains difficult. Three percent of the population owns 70 percent of the land, and the oligarchy still dominates the country’s politics. This is partly why Guatemala hasn’t yet fully dealt with the atrocities of the long civil war that cost the lives of 200,000 people, most of them Maya. Although a peace agreement was signed in 1996, Ulrich Gurtner believes the war against the indigenous peoples is not yet over.

01:15 DocFilm The Secret of Mona Lisa
Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is probably the world’s most famous painting. But whose portrait actually is it? There are two clues to the identity of the mysterious young woman, but they are mutually exclusive. Can the riddle ever be solved? Every year, millions of visitors view the portrait exhibited in the legendary Louvre in Paris. But what makes the "Mona Lisa" so special? Who is hidden behind this smiling and yet sad face? Who was Leonardo's model? Or is she even the imaginary image of an ideal beauty? Experts have been wrestling with this question for centuries. There seems to be evidence for two explanations. Both variants have been handed down in writing, but they are not compatible. The most recognized theory goes back to the biographer Giorgio Vasari. According to him, the portrait is of Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a Florentine silk merchant who had commissioned the work from Leonardo in 1503. But this is contradicted by a note of the chronicler Antonio de Beatis dating back to 1517, in which da Vinci states that he produced the painting at the request of Giuliano de' Medici. The artist said it was an imaginary representation de' Medici's mistress Pacifica Brandani, with whom de’Medici had an illegitimate son. Within the community researching Leonardo today, both theories have their supporters. Using elaborate reconstructions, original locations and scientific methodology, this documentary delves deep into the time of Leonardo da Vinci

01:15 DocFilm Silent Night - A Song for the World
Silent Night is one of the world’s most loved Christmas carols. This film tells its story - from the composition of its melody, to the meaning of the lyrics, to how Silent Night was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2011. It was 1818 when Franz Xaver Gruber set Joseph Mohr’s poem Silent Night to music, and the song Silent Night was born. The carol was first performed that Christmas Eve in Austria, sending its message of peace into a time marked by war, hunger, disease and natural disasters. After that first performance, the song made its way to Tyrol, Berlin, Hamburg and to America. Gradually, the carol became known around the world. It even inspired peace - if only fleetingly. On Christmas Eve 1914, at the beginning of World War One, soldiers in the trenches on the Flanders front laid down their rifles and helmets and sang Silent Night, among other carols.
Today, Silent Night is a cultural phenomenon and has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects. Versions have been recorded by famous singers, including Bing Crosby, whose recording of Silent Night has sold 30 million copies to date, making it the third best-selling music single of all time. In this documentary, director Hannes Michael Schalle tracks the journey of the beloved carol. It takes the viewer to the birthplace of the song in Austria, as well as to New York, London and Berlin. The documentary also features interviews with numerous musicians who speak about their own Christmas traditions, their favorite Christmas songs, and what Silent Night means to them.

11:15 DocFilm Soul Ladies - Commuting between Africa and Europe
Three globally known musicians address music, migration and integration. Three-time Grammy winter Angélique Kidjo was born in Benin; Y'akoto has her roots in Ghana but grew up in Hamburg; and Nneka is German-Nigerian. Three globally known musicians address music, migration and integration. Three-time Grammy winter Angélique Kidjo was born in Benin; Y'akoto has her roots in Ghana but grew up in Hamburg; and Nneka is German-Nigerian.
Kidjo has lived on several continents. She studied in France and now lives in New York. When she was a young singer, she had to flee Africa. She went on to become a legend in France and a star in the music business. "Soul Ladies” lends and ear to the kind of music you make if you’ve grown up in Ghana, Benin or Nigeria and go on to spend years in Europe. The documentary examines how biography influences the creative process. Music critics frequently compare Y’akoto, who is Ghanaian-German, with soul and blues greats. Yet coming to Hamburg at twelve was a shock. There, she faced racism and discrimination daily. Nneka left Nigeria at eighteen and ended up in a German orphanage. Her story is like a fairy tale, though the road to her own musical style was rough. Her repertoire ranges from hip-hop, to soul, to African music and reggae and reflects inclusion. They all may have come to fame in Europe, but they also return to Africa again and again. Soul Ladies follows the singers as they shuttle between two worlds. DW English | THU 2020-12-24 73/97

01:15 DocFilm Neuschwanstein - Secrets of a Castle
Neuschwanstein Castle is said to have inspired Walt Disney. This is the untold story of the Bavarian castle, which attracts 1.5 million visitors a year, and is also known as the 'castle of the fairy tale king.' Just over 150 years ago, in 1869, construction of Neuschwanstein Castle began in Bavaria, Germany. This documentary gives a behind-the-scenes view of the famous building, which is said to have inspired the Disney castle. Neuschwanstein was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria, a man known also as the Swan King or the Fairy Tale King, but also as Mad King Ludwig. Ludwig II did not enjoy reigning. He dreamt of a life surrounded by nature, was an ardent fan of Wagner, and loved mythical imagery. Neuschwanstein Castle was his dream realized in stone. But it was also a withdrawal from his duties as head of state. And the more Ludwig II hid away in his dream castle, the more he angered his ministers. They saw his artistic and architectural projects as overly extravagant. Eventually, this ‘overindulgence’ was used as grounds to declare him insane. He was interned in 1886. Just days later, he drowned in Lake Starnberg under mysterious circumstances, together with the psychiatrist who had certified him insane. Six weeks after the death of Ludwig II of Bavaria, the castle was opened to visitors. The decision was also an effort to convince the public that the king had been 'mad,' and many came to see the castle. Then came the World Wars and Neuschwanstein was briefly forgotten by the public. During the Third Reich, Nazis misused it to store looted art. But the castle survived the wars unscathed. After the end of World War II, U.S. troops reached the castle. Before long, it had become a favorite among GIs stationed in Germany, and Neuschwanstein was once again a much-loved tourist attraction. Today, it’s a tourist phenomenon. This documentary offers a behind-the-scenes view of Neuschwanstein, a place that continues to cast its spell on those who visit, as the legend of King Ludwig II of Bavaria lives on.

22:02 DocFilm Zambia - Invasion of the Fruit Bats
Every November, as the fruit on the trees in Zambia’s Kasanka National Park ripens, millions of fruit bats turn the skies black. Locals and visitors say the world’s largest migration of mammals is a sight to be seen. This film looks at how fruit bats navigate hundreds of kilometers year after year, and what effect that has on their environment. We follow researchers Martin Wikelski and Dina Dechmann from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Radolfzell as they catch and equip fruit bats with transponders to track their movements. Yet the flying mammal’s habitat is under threat from illegal deforestation as poachers set fire to the forests to create more grazing land for antelopes and harvest charcoal to sell.
The fruit bats’ habitat in the 400-square-kilometer Kasanka National Park, which is Zambia’s smallest, is shrinking fast. Locals also hunt the bats to make traditional medical preparations that can supposedly confer supernatural powers. The film accompanies park rangers as they visit villagers and farmers to explain the benefits the bats bring and stop at schools to see how children are being encouraged to protect the species.

01:15 DocFilm Northern Lights - Life within the Arctic Circle - Part 2 From Greenland to Alaska
Two film crews explore the spectacular wilderness of the Arctic. The people who live there face dramatic changes. Part two takes viewers from East Greenland to Alaska. The region around the North Pole is one of the greatest and least-known wildernesses in the world - and it’s rapidly changing due to global warming. 350 people, most of them Inuit, live in Ittoqqortoormiit in Greenland. The nearest settlement is on neighboring Iceland. Almost 800 kilometers of Arctic Ocean separate the two islands. The film team accompanies an Inuit family through Scoresby Sound, a fjord system on the eastern coast of Greenland. They travel hundreds of kilometers in small boats through pack ice, passing icebergs as high as skyscrapers. On the way they meet whalers who are hunting for narwhals in summer. In this Inuit culture, narwhal skin and polar bear goulash have ensured survival for thousands of years. Greenpeace and WWF activists want to stop whaling and polar bear hunting - but this poses a threat to the indigenous way of life on Greenland. On the expedition through the world's largest fjord system, the team learns about the consequences of global warming: melting permafrost and a rapid increase in greenhouse gases. The changes are worrying. Some say they have brought benefits to the far north — the ice breaks up earlier and so too does the hunting season. However, the risks outweigh this benefit. The knowledge and way of life that have been passed down from generation to generation may soon be unsustainable.

01:15 DocFilm China-US - WHO Is in Control?
In March 2020, coronavirus infections began to soar around the world. But the World Health Organization was slow to react. It’s now accused of being a mouthpiece for China, and praising the transparency of the country’s government. Can the World Health Organization be salvaged? Diplomatic circles are increasingly skeptical. A new cold war has been stirring between the US and China, and the COVID-19 crisis — which began in Wuhan, China — has only made things worse. The WHO is accused of playing down the onset of China’s epidemic in its reporting, and delaying the international response as a result. How could this have happened? And why has the world failed to get a handle on the COVID-19 pandemic? This documentary examines the history of the WHO, from its establishment after World War II, to the triumph of antibiotics and the eradication of smallpox. During the last 20 years, China’s growing influence has rocked the foundations of this prestigious organization. But is that solely responsible for its failures? Numerous voices have warned of problems at the WHO in recent years, deeming it no longer fit to protect the world. Will the crisis trigger some overdue reforms? What’s in store for the WHO post coronavirus?

01:15 DocFilm Nollywood - Blockbusters from Nigeria
UNESCO says the world’s second largest film industry, is based in Lagos. A German technology investor played a part in the success story of Nigeria’s movie business, known as "Nollywood." This documentary looks at the people drawn to the Nigerian capital by the opportunities Nollywood offers. Among them are director Abba Makama, who is trying to create an arthouse movement like a Nigerian "New Wave," and Bastian Gotter, a young investor from Berlin, who tells us how he and his Nigerian partner financed what has become Africa’s biggest video streaming platform - almost by accident. And then there’s film producer Don Omope, who hopes the scene’s positive atmosphere will create "Nigerian Tarantinos and Spielbergs."

11:15 DocFilm Foot Down for Eternity - Mercedes Old-timers around the World, Part 1
Old Mercedes cars may be a petrol-head’s dream in the developed world, but elsewhere they are untiring workhorses. Countless Daimler veterans are still plying the world’s roads, used as buses or "grand taxis" or transporting fruit and vegetables. Larbi Bousetta, a Moroccan who has been living in Germany for 40 years, connects both worlds. Mercedes trained him as a mechanic from and he drives a vintage Mercedes himself. He always takes his holidays in Morocco, driving as far as Casablanca to visit his friends with their veteran car tales from everyday life. One of them is Ahmed. His forty-year-old Mercedes taxi is leaking water, which would cost him a few hundred euros for repairs and spare parts in Germany. But in Morocco they just weld it up: it costs a few dirhams and will last for the next 100,000 kilometers. Brazil has about three hundred thousand old cars, rolling museums loaded with fruit for the wholesale markets among other things. Roberto Ferreira de Sousa from São Paulo affectionately calls his Mercedes from 1976 "Amarelão," "The Yellow One." Having covered five million kilometers together, they are really the best of friends. Meanwhile, in Argentina they use old Mercedes cars as buses. In North Africa, the indestructible Mercedes 123 in particular feeds families for generations. In fact, the "Faqus" in Egypt is even more venerable: a 50-year-old Daimler with a long body and tail-fins that can carry as many as eleven passengers. The legend lives on.
