Poisoned Fields - Glyphosate, the underrated risk? (Full Documentary)

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

Water - human right or private commodity? Europe's ongoing battle with privatisation

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
