For the first time, Orthodox Jewish people in Israel allow a camera to enter their personal lives on an intimate level, enabling us to discover the wisdom behind their way of life, in the potential hope that we can apply some of it to ours.

The story we are offering to tell will follow the evolution of our ancestors: we will go from Africa to Asia, to Oceania, to Europe and to the Americas. Our story will span several hundred thousands of years. And in terms of dramatic progression, the film will articulate itself around several themes whose titles suggest our very first behaviours: speaking, creating, inventing, writing, and ruling. These verbs will be studied in their larger sense and will allow us to explore the various facets of humanity as they became more and more ingrained throughout our journey around the planet. These verbs will also structure how the 52-minute episodes will be edited: the first episode could focus on language, the second on art and culture, and we will work out the third and fourth episodes in our writing phase. In order to more or less straightforwardly re-enact an incredibly complicated story that spans more than 200.000 years, the films will follow a chronologically linear structure, with substantial flash-forwards allowed now and then. By reminding our audience the scale of time that separates

The film tells the story of a prisoner and his sideline heroes for a semester - students at the Northwestern University in Chicago - in documentary form, partly recorded by the students themselves. Young law students are trying to find evidence for the innocence of prisoners whose cases even top American lawyers don't dare tackle. They have one semester, and if they don't succeed, no one will be laughing. Chicago. A man has been innocently imprisoned - for more than twenty years. All appeals for parole have been rejected. He is condemned to life imprisonment. His only chance: a handful of law undergraduates. At the Northwestern University of Chicago, several groups of students are working on cases that even top American lawyers don't dare to tackle: cases of innocence without DNA proof. Legal exercises with real peoples' lives: there is no evidence of the guilt of the people they look after - but no evidence of their innocence either - only the prisoners' own statement. The students take the chance to be part of a group of prospective lawyers at

December 21, 2012. This date, identified by the Maya nearly 1,400 years ago, has in recent years become the source of great curiosity and debate. Some believed it would bring catastrophic events. Others, an era of enlightenment. But what did the ancient Maya themselves believe? In "2012: The Beginning", we travel the world to examine what the Sacred Maya texts really say. Original title: 2012: The Beginning © 2012, Licensed by First Hand Films At the ruins of Copán, Honduras, we go where few individuals and even fewer cameras have gone: 20 meters underground, to the spectacularly preserved, 1,600-year-old Margarita Temple. In Dresden, Germany, we slip through a golden, hieroglyph-covered door and enter a darkened room containing some of the world’s most significant books from four millennia—including the famed Dresden Codex, one of only three remaining authenticated manuscripts of the ancient Maya, and the earliest known book from the Americas. In the Highlands of Guatemala, the veil is lifted from the mysterious world of Maya shamanism. And in México, we examine the little-seen Tortuguero Monument 6, the only known inscription

Film starts at 0:57. In the picturesque Israeli Negev desert lays the Bedouin Village of El-Sayed that has the largest percentage of deaf people in the world. Through generations a unique sign language has evolved making it the most popular language in this rare society that accepts deafness as natural as life itself. The village's tranquility is interrupted by Salim's decision to change his deaf son’s fate and make him a hearing person using the Cochlear Implant Operation. Original Title: Voices from El Sayed © Licensed by First Hand Films Two hundred years ago Sheik El-Sayed arrived to the Negev desert in the south of Israel. The Sheik was Bedouin, a Muslim-Arab tribe of herders which has been walking the deserts of Arabia with their families and flock for centuries. Sheik El-Sayed was unique, he was deaf, and his deafness was genetically passed on to his sons, grandsons and great grandsons. Today El-Sayed village has the largest percentage of deaf people in the world, still no hearing aids can be seen; for the people of El-Sayed, deafness is not a

Helg Sgarbi, an attractive Swiss man, tries to extort 14 million Euro from BMW’s major shareholder Susanne Klatten by threatening to publish intimate photos. Susanne Klatten, however, isn't afraid: the richest woman in Germany contacts the police and her blackmailer is arrested. The story goes public, and it turns out that this case is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. © 2012, Licensed by First Hand Films The money Sgarbi obtained through seducing and blackmailing several rich women most likely went directly to an Italian miracle healer named Ernani Barretta, and to his sect. Is Barretta really the mastermind behind the blackmailings? During the investigation, the Italian Barretta is also questioned but released due to lack of evidence. Who is this man who had been Sgarbi's friend for many years? Barretta first emerged as a "miracle healer" in Zurich where Sgarbi had initially joined him. When Sgarbi is sentenced to six years in prison in Munich, one question remains unanswered: what happened to the millions? The trial against Barretta is still ongoing.

"Wanna Cry" was just the latest wake-up call: the cyber attack with the blackmail Trojan hit hundreds of thousands of computers in over 100 countries in May 2017. But how can only one malware program paralyze companies, hospitals and even intelligence services all over the world at the same time? The answer has a name: Microsoft. A film by Harald Schumann and Árpád Bondy Many state and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon operate with the software of the US corporation. It makes them vulnerable for hackers and spies, violates European public procurement law, blocks technical progress and costs Europe dearly. Harald Schumann and his Investigate Europe research team have spoken to insiders and managers throughout Europe about this. Martin Schallbruch, the former head of IT at the German Government, reports how the states are becoming increasingly dependent on Microsoft. A top Dutch lawyer describes how the EU Commission and governments are violating European procurement law. In France, the Ministry of Defence has bypassed parliament in concluding secret contracts with Microsoft, so Senator Joelie Garriaud-Maylam now wants to set up

After almost a year's absence from the original video platform, Leo is back with a brand new half-hour documentary filmed in Africa in the summer of 2017. Join Leo on his journey across southern Africa to explore the fascinating wildlife that calls Africa home. In the first episode of this two-part series, the Natural World Facts team head to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe before travelling to Chobe National Park in Botswana. All footage is original and filmed by the NWF team. This was my first full-length documentary project, filmed in the summer of 2017 while on location in Zimbabwe. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all I took (apart from suncream and far too few clothes) was my little handheld camera, and some SD cards with barely enough memory. What came out of it is this, a half-hour documentary featuring all original footage presented by myself, and I'm very happy with it. It took about a year to edit, with very limited resources by way of CPU but (luckily) access to Final Cut Pro. I hope you enjoy it

For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists. Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic, on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their Tibetan neighbors, reject the colonization of their territory. Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media coverage than the unrest in neighbouring Tibet) the aim of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a heaven on earth suitable for mass tourism. Thanks to reliable contacts amongst the organisers of this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in Europe and Central Asia, and

In the harsh winter of 324, a dazzling cavalry officer from the Roman Imperial Guard stop his horse in front of a nearly naked man, then take from his shoulders his immense white cloak, made from two pieces of fabric, one lined with sheepskin, and separate the two parts with his sword to make the unfortunate wretch warm. His charitable gesture contains all the force of this emblematic character from the dawn of Western Christianity. In 2016, we shall be celebrating the 1700th anniversary of this exemplary Christian's birth, and it's a moment to take full stock of the legacy of this soldier, monk, exorcist, bishop and pilgrim.

Churchmen and committed citizens will give their views on the meaning of "sharing", "mercy" and "charity". Today, political, religious, and philosophical discourse is still hungry for the concept of sharing.

The ten-year-old Krzysztof lives with his parents and grandparents in the High Tatra in Poland. The farmer family belongs to the tribe of the gorals which hand down their songs and dances from generation to generation. From an early age Krzysztof was taught dance and music at home by his grandparents and meanwhile he gives public performances with his violin in a wellknown ensemble which is gladly invited to weddings. Although the High Tatra is among the most popular Polish holiday regions and the gorals are regarded as a tourist attraction, Krzysztofs family lives secluded and has preserved a seriousness and credibility in dealing with the traditions. The wellknown Polish cameraman Jacek Blawut who shot for Krzystof Kieslowski already, and Andreas Voigt want to approach this phenomenon of a supposedly intact mountain world. Beyond folkloric clichés they portray a boy who selfconfidently and joyfully carries on the culture of his ancestors, on that maybe he even lives some day as a particularly gifted dancer and musician. script & directing: Andreas Voigt camera: Jacek Blawut sound: Jan Freda editing: Angela Wendt

Caterpillars, beetles, ants or grasshoppers on a plate is something that takes some getting used to for Europeans. Not only through all kinds of daring or jungle camps, the consumption of insects is seen a bit less appetizing whereas in Asia, Africa and South America, this type of food is a delicacy and a good source of protein. But could this cuisine be an alternative to mass production? Could it even help to reduce the hunger in the world?

The battle for the elixir of life - water - is currently a salient topic of discussion in Europe. This has been triggered by fears that the EU might privatise the water supply. The basic question: does the provision of water have to be state-organised or should private companies be allowed a shot too? The EU Commission claims their stance isn't a question of forced privatisation, rather greater transparency in public procurement. Nevertheless, opponents see the common ownership of water being threatened by the commercial interests of big business. Furthermore, critics fear that water is increasingly becoming a profit-making object of speculation. Many even predict that water will ultimately overtake oil in its ability to spark conflict as a resource. The consequences for consumers are always the same - lower water quality and increased costs. But is this all just scaremongering and unnecessary hysteria? Original title: The Battle for Water Year: 2013 Directed by Alexander Steinbach and Patrick Hafner Produced by ORF, Interspot Film and AGB Films

Thanks to its new-found prosperity, a billion-strong nation is able to go on holiday on a grand scale. «Holidaying the Chinese Way» follows China's new middle class to Hebei, in one of the most modern ski resorts in the country, to Hong Kong and Macao and to southern China, where they are attracted by heavenly tropical beaches.

Tourism for growing Chinese demands, such as in the world's largest casino in Macao, stands in contrast with the shady side of the new wanderlust, such as when the long-established population in impoverished areas are forced to yield to modern hotel complexes.

Water is the key element of life, but new information is coming to light on the element which we thought we were so familiar with: information which could potentially reimagine our tree of life. That is the belief shared by the advocates of a surprising theory called "water memory". For Prof. Luc Montagnier, water has the ability to reproduce the properties of any substance it once contained. Water would have the ability to retain a memory of the properties of the molecules. What if Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, HIV and even cancer could be treated thanks to this controversial theory?

Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weed killer. Some claim it is completely harmless, others say it is a serious health hazard for man and animals. A topical investigation into a controversial substance. Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weed killer in farms and gardens. German soil was treated with six million kilograms in 2012 alone. Glyphosate is cheap and readily available at all wholesale garden stores. Some claim it is completely harmless, while others say it is a serious health hazard for man and animals. Large-scale studies of the herbicide have only been carried out by the industry itself. Such studies would be far too expensive for individual authorities. But glyphosate so far only has a limited licence in Europe, and this year, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany is responsible for extending it. Now, the WHO has suddenly announced it is calling for an all-out ban on glyphosate, right in the middle of the decision-making procedure. A WHO cancer research team considers the herbicide produced by Monsanto, Syngenta and BASF to be absolutely toxic
