It has become a state within a state. How can the "Party of God" be confronted? In Lebanon, no important political decisions are taken any more without Hezbollah, the Shiite "party of God". Since the end of the civil war in 1990, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Lebanon has been exposed to growing political divisions. Supported and financed by Iran, Hezbollah now threatens to destabilize the country and the region. As a political party, Hezbollah holds two cabinet positions in the government. The Sunni Prime Minister Saad Hariri is dependent on the goodwill of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary General − not least because Hezbollah’s militia is far stronger than the Lebanese army. In his impressive speeches, Nasrallah threatens not only Israel, but also the US. Israel sees Hezbollah as the extended arm of its arch enemy Iran. A renewed war between Hezbollah and Israel would raze Lebanon to the ground and also cause considerable damage in Israel. Tensions between the US and Iran increase the risk of conflict. This film shows how Hezbollah has skillfully increased its power in recent years and developed into a state within a state. But there is growing resistance. Civil society forces are trying to overcome religious conflicts and use democratic means to break new ground. 02:00 DW News - News 02:15 Business - News 02:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 03:00 DW News - News 03:15 Business - News 03:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 04:00 DW News - News 04:15 Business - News 04:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 05:00 DW News - News 05:15 DocFilm Lebanon - A Country Held Hostage 06:00 DW News - News DW English | THU 2020-01-02 6/94 06:30 Business - News 06:45 Shift - Living in the Digital Age 07:00 DW News - News 07:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 08:00 DW News - News 08:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 09:00 DW News - News 09:15 DocFilm Mega Yachts: The Latest Craze for Billionaires 10:00 DW News - News 10:30 Business - News 10:45 Shift - Living in the Digital Age 11:00 DW News - News 11:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 12:00 DW News - News 12:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 13:00 DW News - News 13:30 DW News - Asia 13:45 Business - Asia 14:00 DW News - News 14:30 DW News - Asia 14:45 Business - Asia 15:00 DW News - News 15:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 16:00 DW News - News 16:30 DW News - Asia 16:45 Business - Asia 17:00 DW News - News 17:15 Business - Africa 17:30 DW News - Africa DW English | THU 2020-01-02 7/94 17:45 Arts and Culture - News 18:00 DW News - News 18:15 Business - Africa 18:30 DW News - Africa 18:45 Arts and Culture - News 19:00 DW News - News 19:30 Eco Africa - The Environment Magazine 20:00 DW News - News 20:30 The Day - News in Review 21:00 DW News - News 21:15 Business - News 21:30 DW News - Africa 21:45 Arts and Culture - News 22:00 DW News - News 22:02 The Day - News in Review 22:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 23:00 DW News - News 23:15 DW News - Africa 23:30 Business - News 23:45 Arts and Culture - News DW English | FRI 2020-01-03 8/94 FRI 2020-01-03 00:00 DW News - News 00:02 The Day - News in Review 00:30 Eco Africa - The Environment Magazine 01:00 DW News - News 01:15 DocFilm Africa Rising - Part 1 As the cultural sector is becoming more diverse, all eyes are on African pop culture. Its stars are gaining international attention. But culture from Africa has long influenced artists in the West. A look at current trends and their historical roots. Cinema, exhibitions, fashion and music from Africa are creating a buzz around the world. And not for the first time — artists from Africa have often been a source of inspiration for artists from the west. Africa Rising explores the boom of African pop culture and its impact on the west, with help from the continent’s biggest stars and people who have witnessed the developments first hand. The film travels in time from the independence era to the Cold War, the end of apartheid and to the renaissance of today. We explore the artists and styles that have flourished in Europe and the US, like Miriam Makeba, Papa Wemba, Manu Dibango, Fela Kuti, Wizkid and Die Antwoord. The film is also dedicated to pop culture icons of the African diaspora, like James Brown, Bob Marley and Public Enemy.
