Human Rights: an endless battle (2009 Documentary on the U.N. debates)

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

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?

Michael 'Wolf' Pasakarnis often claimed that he walked in two worlds at once. An artist with a kind heart and adventurous spirit, he was struck and killed by lightning at 29 years old. He left stunning evidence that he knew where, when, and how it would happen. He came back with an important message for all of us. Now Wolf’s story is a brave and captivating documentary, Wolf’s Message, inspired by the book of the same name by acclaimed author and spiritual teacher, Suzanne Giesemann, which explores the profound true story of a young man's afterlife communication. Directed by filmmaker Jim Spruell, Wolf's Message follows the true story of Wolf's parents, Mike and Beth Pasakarnis. After his passing, they discovered a poem and drawings he left behind, along with other clues about how he would depart from this world. Through Giesemann, they began receiving undeniable and astonishing messages from beyond, offering irrefutable proof of his continued presence. Through intimate interviews, expert insights, and compelling real-life accounts, Wolf’s Message delves into the nature of consciousness, the continuity of love, and the

What is happening inside Iran? What became of the green movement? While reformists seem removed from the political scene, what do the Iranians want for the future of their country? What have become of the aspirations of thousands of Iranian men and women who revolted against an oppressive regime, only to be bloodily suppressed? Without necessarily questioning the notion of an Islamic republic, they just want to make their country a little more democratic. Have their hopes fizzled out? On this particular journey we have special access to insiders, allowing us to measure how things are bubbling in a country where nearly 70% of the population is under 25, where the youth and their thirst for freedom threaten to boil over.

What if « too much news killed the news »: today thousands of websites and thousands of blogs immediately spread the slightest rumor whether it talks about terrorist attacks, epidemic disease, conspiracy or anti-Semitism… the worst accusations, the worst excesses are now being magnified, misquoted and distorted by the Internet and its unregulated distribution of information. In these confusing times, the opinion of a militant ends up having the same value as the opinion of an expert. We now live in a world surrounded by rumor. This film dissects the dictatorship of rumors and points out the excesses of this infernal news machine. The Internet is the ideal place to spread the rumors. International rumors are globalized thanks to the Internet, a powerful tool. If the idea of disinformation is not a new thing, there was a need for costly means before it caught on. Today thanks to the Internet, any dictatorship can convey its ideas without any cost. But most rumors can be found in the alternative press, that is to say a press which is not kept under

Turkey is stating as a model to be followed by the new Arab regimes, a model of democracy and secularism in the Muslim world. It is this Turkey, Muslim and modern that we will discover and query in this roadmap. The road movie will take us from Gaziantep, on the Syrian border, which represents the new Turkey AKP, liberal and Muslim, shown as a democratic model for the Arab world, to Diyarbakir in the center of a forgotten Kurdish region, to Ankara the capital which embodies the secular and Republican legacy of Ataturk, and Istanbul the sublime, between the East and the West, between modernity and tradition. These steps and sequences (indicative) were selected to highlight the following issues: Did the AKP, Islamist and Liberal, invented a true Muslim and secular democracy? Is this a model applicable to the Arab countries? What about freedom of expression? What about democracy when 101 journalists are in jail and 2/3 are Kurdish? (China comes in second position with 35 journalists imprisoned) Is Turkey a bridge between Europe, the Caucasus and Asia, or a
