West African waters once had some of the richest fish stocks in the world. Today they are severely depleted. Fishermen in Senegal fear for their livelihoods. Europeans, Chinese, Russians and Turks have overfished the waters.

The abundance of fish was once a blessing for the people of Senegal. Now, fish stocks have been severely depleted. For decades, fishermen here have been increasingly deprived of their livelihoods.

Mark Junglas is disgusted by conventional factory farming. The trained butcher wants to do better. Eating meat is fine, he says. But only if the animals have led a good, species-appropriate life -- and experience a stress-free death.

When Mark was forced to slaughter a calf at the age of 16, it was a terrible experience. It also sparked his life-long commitment to animal welfare. Mark left the conventional meat industry. Three years ago, the 35-year-old took over the management of an ultra-modern organic farm with over 100 cattle. He keeps his cattle in a species-appropriate manner and uses his own slaughtering and distribution processes.

But getting the farm out of the red while holding his own against the influx of cheap meat is no easy task. Even though animal welfare is very much in vogue, few people are prepared to pay more for organic meat. Mark has lots of ideas about how to boost sales: he experiments with meat dishes he creates himself and tries to win over a new, nutrition-conscious clientele via social media channels and marketing. The film accompanies Mark Junglas on his journey. Will he remain true to himself, and his animals, through all the ups and downs? Or will he give up on his mission to strive for the highest animal welfare -- and the best meat?

Spectacular cliffs and traces of the Vikings can be found along Ireland’s most beautiful train route. It leads from Rosslare in the southeast via the capital, Dublin, to the Howth Peninsula. In times gone by, the region has been inhabited by Vikings, Normans and the English.

The scenery in the east of the Emerald Isle is picturesque: long beaches and solitary mountains. This was where the Vikings once landed. The Normans also left their mark. The region is also marked by its centuries-old history with England. In addition to the magnificent castles of the former colonial rulers, the ruins of an early Christian monastery and a prehistoric dolmen tomb bear witness to the diverse cultural influences here.

The camera team meets people who embody the modern nation while continuing to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors. A detour leads to the fertile hinterland of County Wexford and magical places in the Wicklow Mountains, before heading into the hustle and bustle of the city of Dublin. There’s the opportunity for some rest and relaxation in the natural paradise near Howth, where a large colony of grey seals make their home.

The 14th Dalai Lama is 89 years old. The question of who will succeed him has sparked a power struggle between India and China. Beijing wants to be solely in charge of choosing the next Tibetan spiritual leader. In its eyes, Tibet belongs to China.

The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959. The older he gets, the more important the question of his succession becomes — not only for the future of Tibet, but also for global geopolitics. India, the United States and the European Union support Tibet, which has demanded autonomy since its annexation by China in 1950. China, meanwhile, does not recognize the Dalai Lama's government in exile.

Beijing is now determined to take sole responsibility for appointing the next Dalai Lama, raising fears that the debate could have serious political consequences. Tensions between China and India have been exacerbated by a conflict over a disputed border, which has been smoldering since 1962. When Mao Tse-tung's People's Liberation Army invaded Tibet, India lost the Buddhist neighbor that lay between it and Communist China. With the Tibetan people forced to assimilate, India granted asylum to the 14th Dalai Lama and numerous other refugees, much to Mao Tse-tung's displeasure. Since then, conflict has simmered, especially in the disputed Himalayan border region.

By taking power in Tibet, China was also able to secure valuable mineral resources such as chromium, copper, borax, uranium and lithium. It also gained control over the sources of Asia's largest rivers -- something India sees as a threat to its supplies of fresh water.

Tibetans themselves are caught in a standoff between the two most populous nations in the world, which are also major economic powers. It is not easy for them to make their voices heard, despite the best efforts of their spiritual leader.

A life just as it was 300 years ago: the Amish in the US. They live according to their own rules, reject technological advances, wear old-fashioned clothing and drive horse-drawn carts. An encounter with the Amish is like traveling back in time.

Originating from southern Germany and Switzerland, the Amish community brought its culture and language to the New World. Deeply rooted in their faith, the Amish adhere to strict codes and reject modern technology. For outsiders, these rules can sometimes appear strange. They traverse their rural communities in horse-drawn carts, but if a distance is too far, they’re allowed to use a shuttle service. They don’t use telephones unless it’s for business purposes and the device is located outside of the home.

Children are expected to help with housework even when they’re attending school. But before they’re baptized as young adults and finally become part of the Amish community, they’re allowed to try what’s called the rumspringa: a period of time when they’re encouraged to behave like regular teenagers - before deciding on which lifestyle they prefer. But those who opt for a conventional, modern existence are exiled. The film sheds light on a fascinating world governed by tradition.

For years, good relations with China guaranteed the German economy healthy profits and cheap goods. But over time, that relationship has become a dependency. The documentary "In the Jaws of the Dragon - How to Deal with China?” explores the nature and extent of this reliance.

At a summit meeting to discuss the "New Silk Road” infrastructure project in October 2023, China’s President Xi appeared alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether in Asia or the Middle East - China is evidently pushing for a new world order, with offensives directed against the West. Germany is already feeling the consequences.

For a long time, trade with China flourished: From 1984, Volkswagen flooded the Chinese market with cars, ultimately exporting one in every three VWs to China. But now, Chinese companies like BYD are dominating the market with e-cars. And Germany’s reliance on China for computer chips, antibiotics and solar cells can now be seen as downright reckless. This dependence is becoming more evident as China increasingly comes up trumps both politically and economically. Whether regarding the Ukraine war, in its relations with Russia or its continued saber rattling in the conflict with Taiwan: Where China would have once conducted itself with restraint, it now demands its slice of global power. In Berlin, politicians are rubbing their eyes in disbelief: what was once a healthy relationship is now a codependency. And there’s no easy way out.

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.

When international troops withdrew in 2021, the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan. The ‘forever war’ was over. But this documentary shows how western military forces were misled or acted on insufficient intelligence -- with fatal consequences for the Afghan civilians they were sent to protect.

The documentary "Winning Hearts and Minds” shows how western forces were deliberately misled and in many cases acted on the basis of inadequate information. The results were a disaster for the Afghan population.

In 2006, when Danish and British troops were deployed to Musa Qala in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, the mission was clear. They were to defend their allies, the local police forces, against Taliban insurgents. But this plan was based on a misconception. While the local police in Musa Qala were seen as the allies of the West in the fight for democracy and human rights, in reality they supported a brutal and murderous drug cartel.

Filmmakers Martin Tamm Andersen and Nagieb Khaja uncover this scandal, as well as the local police’s alliance with the brutal brothers Koka and Issa Khan. The filmmakers also examine a corrupt ex-governor’s hold over the Musa Qala police and how this man exploited western involvement to help his drug trade. Musa Qala eventually fell to the Taliban, as the population faced a choice between a ruthless drug cartel and an extremist regime.

The film reveals the tragic betrayal of the international mission that ultimately left an entire country in chaos.

Superfluous meetings, endless paperwork and incompetent managers - sound familiar? Jobs that entail a steady stream of seemingly pointless demands can damage our health in the long-term. This film takes a humorous look at how we waste potentially valuable time in the workplace.

In an ideal scenario, work is fulfilling. But many people in office jobs find their daily work is making them miserable. Of course, it could be argued that the dissatisfaction of these employees is mainly a by-product of industrialization. They’re in secure, non-physically demanding professions that are often relatively well paid - unlike many people in this world living in vastly more dire circumstances. But is this unparalleled waste of human resources one of the biggest untold dramas of our time?

"The Happy Worker" explores the reasons why highly paid managers are so fond of parroting hackneyed phrases, following abstruse management methods and poisoning the working atmosphere for the benefit of shareholders. According to a Gallup poll, just 13 per cent of the working population endeavor to perform well in their job. However, 64 per cent of employees don’t care about their work and aim to get through the day with minimum effort. 25 per cent of workers hate their jobs so much they even work against the company that employs them. Although the numbers vary from country to country, these trends can be observed all over the world.

A sense that their work is pointless makes many people ill. The documentary hears from patients recovering from burnout. The accounts of their experiences are appraised by a number of experts including the Berkeley-based pioneer of research into burnout, the psychologist Christina Maslach.

Although antidepressants are prescribed with increasing frequency, their efficacy is the subject of debate. It’s known that placebos can be just as effective in cases of mild-to-moderate depression. Nevertheless, in Germany you’re now eight times more likely to be prescribed the medication than in the 1990s.

A large-scale study from 2008 shows that in cases of mild and moderate depression, a placebo was just as effective as the real thing. But still, every year doctors prescribe enough antidepressants to supply 80 million people in Germany for more than two weeks.

So, what’s the impact on patients? How can such controversial medication be so successful?

"For many years, the tablets have been my loyal companions in the process of coping with my depression." Christine (52) lost her job because of her depression, attended psychiatric clinics seven times and says today: "I don’t care what the studies say, I sense that my medication is working."

Most antidepressants alter the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, in particular serotonin. Although for a long time it was thought depression was triggered by lowered serotonin concentration, this theory has now been disproved. Doctors and scientists still don’t really understand what happens in the brain during depression - but this has done nothing to dent the successful sales march of antidepressant medication.

Mary (42) curses the day she began taking antidepressants: "They haven’t improved my life, they’ve actually made it much worse," she says. Mary’s been gradually reducing her dose for four years, but her body is rebelling. "Up to now, these weaning problems have been totally under-estimated," says Professor Tom Bschor, one of the leading experts on antidepressants in Germany.

Western intelligence services are warning of the threat of a Russian shadow war against European states. Germany is possibly one of the targets of this hybrid warfare. Authorities have observed suspicious ship movements in the Baltic Sea.

Russian "research ships" keep on appearing unexpectedly in offshore windfarms, in submarine exercise areas and above gas pipelines... and off the German coast, in the Baltic Sea. What is the vessels’ secret mission? Why do they often travel with their location transmitters turned off and armed special forces on board? And why is it so difficult for police and military to do anything about these mysterious ships? An international journalist team takes a closer look at Russia’s suspected spy fleet and sets out to decode their morse code messages.

Authors: Marie Blöcher, Antonius Kempmann, Benedikt Strunz.
The documentary "Putin’s Fleet" is a German public broadcaster, NDR, production - part of the international research project, "Russian Spy Ships”. In addition to the public broadcasters NDR and WDR, contributions were also made by the following: the German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, as well as broadcast journalists in Belgium (VRT), the Netherlands (Pointer, KRO-NCRV), Norway (NRK), Finland (YLE) and Estonia (ERR).

Iran’s mountainous terrain has always been an important part of people’s lives. Years ago, these mountains were populated by legendary horsemen. Today, they are the subject of scientific investigation.

This film provides the viewer with stunning arial views of these mountains. It unfurls the rich tapestry of Iran’s history, from the legendary Order of the Assassins to the Mongol invasions.

We also get to know Iran by meeting some of the fascinating people who live there. Take Ali, a world champion of mounted archery. Despite its waning popularity, the sport has endured in Iran due the importance of horses throughout Iranian history. We get to explore the historic Tabiz bazaar, which is still a bustling market and kaleidoscope of cultures today. There, we meet Dschebrael, a stall owner who speaks Azeri, the official language of Azerbaijan. In fact, Azeri can be heard throughout the market, which serves as a meeting place for Iran’s many ethnic groups, and thus as a microcosm of the country’s cultural diversity.

The film introduces us to beekeepers and violinmakers, as well as young people living in Iran who want to travel and express themselves freely on social media -- even though it is forbidden.

The rich in Germany been never been as well-off as they are today and assets have never been so unevenly distributed. But who are they? How do they live? And what do they think of their country? A journey into the discreet world of the super-rich.

One percent of Germans own over a quarter of the country's assets, whilst half of the country’s citizens have no assets at all. But while the German media report on the growing poverty in the country on a daily basis, little is known about the super-rich. They keep a very low profile and can walk the streets unrecognized. "Manager Magazin” says there were around 200 billionaires living in Germany in 2018, and their numbers are increasing. The documentary "Top of the World" asks why rich Germans are so unwilling to talk about their wealth. Its author immerses himself in the discreet world of big money and meets financial advisors with 800 years of family tradition behind them and billionaires such as drugstore king Dirk Rossmann and mail-order company heir Michael Otto - as well as self-made businessmen such as Rainer Schaller. They talk about their notions of money and justice, the origins of their wealth and their fear of social envy.

Gisela, Inga and Ulrich are pensioners – and poor. They’re constantly short on cash, even though they worked as hard as they could.

One out of five pensioners in Germany is considered to be at risk of poverty. Among women, the figure is even higher. The reasons vary widely. Gisela had decided to take care of her elderly father – meaning she couldn’t make enough payments into the pension fund. She’s feeling the consequences now, as she has to count every penny. Inga is in a similar situation. She had an accident that stopped her from working full time. Now she’s trying to save money wherever possible – especially on groceries.

In the tropical dry forests of Madagascar, the baobab tree plays a vital role. It’s especially important during times of drought, which all forest-dwellers have had to adapt to. But these ancient trees are also highly endangered.

The majestic baobabs are the silent guardians of Madagascar’s tropical dry forests. The trees are a big part of indigenous culture and folklore. Among the Sakalavas, each family has its own tree, which is hollowed out and serves as a reservoir in times of drought. Thanks to its fibrous structure, the baobab trunk acts like a sponge that can store up to 120,000 liters of water.

The baobabs are a crucial part of the forests’ biodiversity: lizards, salamanders, snakes, birds and small mammals find food and shelter among them. Ants live in harmony with the trees, enriching the soil around them and helping rainwater to seep into the ground. But the baobabs are now considered highly endangered, and action must be taken to prevent these unique trees from becoming extinct.

التساتان ويُعرفون أيضا باسم "شعب الرنة" يعيشون مع عائلاتهم وحيواناتهم في ظروف قاسية في شمال منغوليا. هذا الفيلم عبارة عن رحلة مذهلة إلى عالم خالد لا يزال موجوداً بأعجوبة.
بقي رُعاة الرنة لفترة طويلة معزولين عن العالم، وحافظوا على جميع تقاليد أسلافهم وديانتهم الشامانية. وهم يسكنون خيام بسيطة في درجات حرارة تصل إلى 40 درجة مئوية تحت الصفر في الشتاء، لكنهم لا يتذمرون أبداً ويقولون إنهم سعداء بالعيش على هذا النحو. أحرار وسط طبيعة محمية ورائعة. أما طريقة حياتهم فهي تتناقض بشكل صارخ مع الحياة الغربية. ولكن العالم الحديث قد لحق بهم. فقبل بضع سنوات، تم إدخال التعليم الإلزامي لجميع الأطفال في المنطقة. وهذا يثير تساؤلات لدى التساتان. هل يجب عليهم حماية الأطفال من هذا التطور الذي يعتبرونه ضارًا؟ أم منحهم الفرصة للتعلم والاندماج في عالم اليوم؟ بدو الرنة يدركون أن عليهم الاختيار بين تقاليدهم والحضارة، بين الحرية والرفاهية، وهم يقفون أمام نقطة تحول في تاريخهم. فهل سيتمكن التساتان من الحفاظ على تقاليدهم وطريقة حياتهم رغم أنه لم يعد بالإمكان إيقاف التطور؟

Iran is opening its doors to foreigners and a train ride from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea is a great way to get to know the country and its people.

The travel restrictions that are now being lifted were in place for decades. Many Iranians are hoping they will now be able to lead a freer life – and we meet many of these hospitable and welcoming people on our journey through the Middle Eastern nation.

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.

कैरेबियन में बसे सेंट किट्स में आज भी कुछ ऐसी ट्रेनें चल रही हैं, जिनसे गन्ने ढोए जाते थे. ये ट्रेन क़रीब 30 किमी की तटरेखा के साथ-साथ चलती है. लेसर एंटिलीस में सेंट किट्स और नेविस नाम के द्वीपों का जोड़ा है. ये दुनिया के सबसे छोटे देशों में शुमार हैं.

ये और चौंकाने वाली बात है कि सेंट किट्स में रेलवे लाइन भी है. छोटी लाइन का ये ट्रैक स्थानीय प्लांटेशन मालिकों ने 1912 और 1926 के बीच बनवाया था, ताकि गन्नों को बासटेयर की फ़ैक्ट्री में लाया जा सके. लेकिन अंत में कैरेबियाई गन्ना यूरोप के मीठे चुकंदर से हार गया. माल ढुलाई बंद हो गई और सेंट किट्स सीनिक रेलवे ने आसानी से उसकी जगह ले ली. अमेरिकी रेलवे मालिक ख़ासतौर से क्रूज़ शिप यात्रियों के साथ व्यापार पर निर्भर थे. उन्होंने ताक़तवर रेल इंजन खरीदे और उस ट्रेन में लगवाए, जिससे कभी मीठे चुकंदर पोलैंड भेजे जाते थे.

आज ये इंजन उन डबल-डेकर डिब्बों को खींचते हैं, जिनमें से समुद्र और पहाड़ों के ख़ूबसूरत नज़ारे दिखते हैं. गन्ने के दौर के इंजन और पुराने कारख़ाने अब ख़राब हो गए हैं. यहां नमी बहुत ज़्यादा है, जिसने इन्हें और ख़राब कर दिया है. आज सिर्फ़ 15 नंबर का हंसलेट इंजन ही चलने की हालत में है. लोको पायलट इसे ट्रैक और चार लंबे पुलों की देखभाल के लिए इस्तेमाल करते हैं. उन्हें वो दौर याद करके बड़ी ख़ुशी होती है, जब ये बेड़े का सबसे शक्तिशाली इंजन था और इसके कई डिब्बे गन्नों से लदे होते थे.

हम गन्ना रेलवे की पुरानी पटरियों पर फिर से चलते हैं और सेंट किट्स सीनिक रेलवे के कर्मचारियों के लिए रोमांचक अनुभव करते हैं.

We are facing the greatest upheaval since industrialization. To stop climate change, the energy system must be transformed worldwide. Very little time remains to accomplish this. But there are places where this renewable future has already arrived.

The documentary explores the question of what needs to happen in terms of politics, policies, and society to implement what is technically possible, when it comes to renewable energy. To do this, the film visits two completely different places. One is in the US and the other, in Bavaria. These localities have two things in common: Both have completely converted their energy supply to renewables and as a result, both now have more money in their coffers today than before.

The documentary provides a global overview of the solutions that already exist for a worldwide energy transition. And it asks what challenges still need to be overcome -- not only in the laboratories and power plants, but also among the movers and shakers who must drive the change today.
