The Turkish model (Documentary of 2012 from the series "I Love Democracy")

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

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

Oil: The Race for the Last Reserves | The Struggle for Oil - Geological Deceptions (Full Film)

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human

Can You Trust Your Senses? The Science of Perception | Myth or Science (5/6)

What if everything we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel is less reliable than we think? In this documentary, Jennifer Gardy meets scientists using playful, bizarre, and revealing experiments to uncover how the brain builds our perception of reality. As illusions, taste tests, smell trials, touch experiments, and sound tricks expose the hidden links between the senses, the film shows that our experience of the world is not created by one sense at a time, but by a powerful multisensory system that can protect us, mislead us, and even make us feel things that are not really there. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - How Our Senses Create Reality ▷ 01:47 - Seeing Is Believing? ▷ 05:35 - The Truth About Colour ▷ 07:07 - Tasting With Our Eyes ▷ 10:27 - Can Sound Change Taste? ▷ 14:10 - Can We Smell Danger? ▷ 20:02 - Nose Blindness and Bad Smells ▷ 21:24 - Do Names Change What We Smell? ▷ 26:39 - The Rubber Hand Illusion ▷ 32:45 - Can Seeing Make Us Itch? ▷ 37:19 - Can We Trust
