No one escapes Guantanamo unscathed. Not the law, neither morale – and certainly not the people. The film tells the story of these people and depicts their search for a life after Guantanamo. Four people whose biographies are intrinsicaly linked to the Guantanamo Bay internment camp on Cuba: firstly, a former prisoner from Germany. Secondly, two military lawyers active in the so-ca led war against terror, who themselves were instrumentalised in the system of torture and eventualy plunged into a personal and moral crisis. And finaly, the Spanish lawyer Gonzalo Boye, who set himself the task of bringing several representatives of the Bush administration to justice for crimes against humanity. Murat Kurnaz was released from the US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba after five years of imprisonment. He was detained without trial. In the same year, Matthew Diaz, Judge Advocate for the Navy, was sentenced to 6 months of imprisonment for passing on the names of the detainees to a human rights organisation. Judge Advocate Diane Beaver was also deployed in Guantanamo. Here, she became the author of a

Born out of fire: When a new crater opens up on the green Atlantic island of La Palma in September 2021, no one suspects that it will be the largest and most destructive volcanic eruption in five centuries in Europe - and a rare chance for many scientists to watch evolution at work. For nearly three months, the volcano spews out gigantic chunks of pyroclast, lava and ash. At times, several lava flows push their way down the mountain flank. Whatever stands in their way is destroyed and buried under a layer of lava up to 60 meters high. But out of the destruction grows new life - nature around a volcano has many adaptation strategies. The volcanic eruption on La Palma is a reminder of how extreme living conditions once were on our planet. It also reminds us that throughout Earth's history, such catastrophes have also meant opportunities for new life and the adaptation of species of animals and plants that will prevail until history presents them with new challenges. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:59

ROBOLOVE reflects on the strategies of men and women involved with the creation of humanoid, android robots. Robots that will perhaps one day expand the human body and the human life. From an exciting variety of perspectives we understand the immense complexity of this topic. Featuring Japanese robotics guru, Hiroshi Ishiguro, to the transhumanist, Natasha Vita More - and many more. While the difference between humans and androids is gradually washing away, the tension between technology and social responsibility is growing as much as utopian visions are further expanding. From this mosaic, a tense ambivalence emerges, that questions these futuristic technologies – and is full of love for those who dare to create these new machines that try to mirror our humanness. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 02:31 - Hiroshi Ishiguro, humanoid robots ▷ 07:28 - Otonaroid ▷ 09:56 - Building androids ▷ 18:48 - Sex Robots ▷ 27:49 - Emotional companion ▷ 37:53 - Computers in a church ▷ 40:17 - Aoi Erica ▷ 44:47 - "Neutral" Cyberspace ▷ 50:40 - Pepper ▷ 57:42 - Artificial Eternity

In a world where robots seamlessly coexist with humanity, serving as both companions and collaborators, the future of artificial intelligence (AI) unfolds with a series of intriguing questions that challenge the very fabric of human existence. The film delves into the intricate tapestry of AI's impact on society, economy, creativity, and the existential questions that arise as we teeter on the brink of a technologically driven evolution. As the line between humans and machines blurs, the film embarks on a journey to explore the potential sentience of AI. No longer confined to menial tasks, today's robots possess self-thinking capabilities, prompting an exploration into the consequences of their potential autonomy. What happens when robots take over the workforce? Can AI-generated artworks rival human creativity, or will they inhibit our unique talents? Also, what will future AIs look like, how will it change humanity in general, and if it’s possible that machines can gain self-awareness or sentience, will humans become 2nd smartest beings on Earth? The film raises thought-provoking questions about the role of AI in shaping the future of humanity. ------

Earth may not have been visited by aliens, but since the invention of radio and television, humans have been broadcasting signals into space, announcing our existence to other civilizations. So the question isn't “What would happen if it occurs?” but rather “When will it happen?” With unprecedented access to figures such as the Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, experts from NASA, the International Space University (ISU), the SETI Institute, and military advisors, the film constructs an eerily plausible scenario of first contact on Earth, starting with the most fundamental questions: Why are they here? How do they think? What do they see in humans that we don’t see in ourselves?

There are great expectations upon Anita Zenani — a South African township girl — being a junior champion in BMX. The pressure is starting to weigh heavily on her shoulders. The last couple of years have been extremely intensive for her. With hard training and competition, as well as growing popularity and wide coverage of Anita’s success on local TV and in newspapers, the expectations might be a monster growing into a giant rather than an encouragement and inspiration.

Fifty percent of the world's population live in urban areas. By 2050 this figure is expected to increase to eighty percent. Gigantic systems of high-rise buildings and highways. Humans who live their lives in separate concrete boxes. Life in the cities is modern and enchanting but how do we plan these cities in a way which takes human behavior into account? The revolutionary architect Jan Gehl and his colleagues are on a mission to bring cities to life. They want to design the cities taking sustainability and human needs for inclusion and intimacy into consideration.

Today, our world is filled with wireless devices that constantly emit man-made electromagnetic fields, forming the basis of an extremely lucrative industry. Scientists have noted that the level of radiation we're exposed to has drastically increased beyond natural levels.
