The death marches of the Second World War | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-17 | In the final months of the Second World War, the Nazis evacuated concentration camps near the front. More than 700,000 prisoners were forced on death marches, often lasting weeks, as the Red Army advanced.To this day, little is known about this incredibly bloody chapter in the history of the Third Reich. From summer 1944 to spring 1945, the Nazis forced hundreds of thousands of deportees on death marches through Germany and Austria, often lasting weeks. Many prisoners died of exhaustion or were murdered - either by guards or by civilians they had to march past. The unbelievable brutality of these death marches testifies to the general brutalization that had spread throughout the declining Third Reich. In essence, the death marches were a continuation of the extermination strategy pursued by the Nazis in the concentration camps. In the face of the Soviet advance, the Germans dismantled the camps and attempted to remove traces of the extermination facilities. Having thus lost the means to execute their planned mass killings, the Germans resorted to other methods. They continued the murders, even as the regime collapsed and the Allies advanced. The death marches are one of the least known chapters in the history of the Third Reich. That’s because for a long time, information about the identity of the perpetrators - and that of hundreds of thousands of prisoners from concentration camps, prisons and labor camps - was restricted. Today, many previously unanswered questions can be answered thanks to historical research, as well as the testimonies of Jewish and other survivors that has been gathered over the decades. #documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

When kids become content on social media | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-16 | Countless photos and videos of children have been posted on the internet by their parents. Influencers share details of their children's lives with their followers on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube and Snapchat. Sometimes, with terrible consequences.Many people make money from photos of their children. Children's content is among the most popular and sought-after online, which is why social media algorithms promote these posts. The effects can be disastrous. "If you think that sharing your child's life on social media is harmless, I'm proof that you're wrong," says Cam, now 24 years old. She knows all too well the dark side of having a mother who posted pictures of her childhood online. As a child, strangers would come up to her in the street to ask about her period. She can no longer use her real name out of concern that people will do a Google search and see all the intimate moments of her childhood. Today, Cam is publicly campaigning for "sharenting", a term that combines "sharing" and "parenting", to be regulated, and for the dangers to be explained more clearly. Child protection activists are even seeking to classify "sharenting" as child labor, because - so the accusation goes - these parents exploit their children to earn money. #documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

How fires are destroying Bolivias forests | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-15 | Bolivia is burning. For months, flames have been consuming huge swathes of forest and pastureland. The situation is now so dramatic that the government has declared a national disaster. What’s behind this ecological catastrophe?Bolivia's forests and pastures were already devastated by wildfires in 2019, with around 5.9 million hectares affected. This year, 6.9 million hectares have been ravaged by fire - an area almost the size of Ireland, Sierra Leone or Sri Lanka. One contributing factor is deforestation in the Amazon, which is causing more frequent droughts and heatwaves. And while climate change is prolonging the dry seasons, the problem is exacerbated by Bolivia's farmers burning down parts of the forest to provide land for agriculture. Some use slash-and-burn practices out of economic necessity and are unaware of the consequences. Others set fires in areas that do not belong to them in order to farm there illegally, or extract raw materials. The Bolivian government allows these practices to continue, through lax laws and agricultural subsidies that encourage farmers to expand their land.Indigenous peoples are especially hard hit by land grabbing and the destruction of the forests.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

In Chinas shadow - The Philippines at the heart of a global conflict | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-12 | In the South China Sea, the US and China are fighting for dominance in the Indo-Pacific region. The Philippines finds itself caught in the middle of a struggle between two superpowers.For decades, Beijing has been expanding its military presence in the South China Sea, a region that includes Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines. It has occupied atolls and reefs, turning them into military outposts - especially on Philippine territory.But resistance to China’s expansionist policies is growing. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines is standing up to Beijing. He is turning away from the China-friendly policies of his predecessor and towards Western partners — especially the United States. The move has angered China, leading to increased tensions in the South China Sea. Clashes between Philippine and Chinese ships are on the rise. The situation is highly volatile, especially because of a far-reaching defense treaty between Manila and Washington. Similar to the NATO alliance, both countries are obliged to defend each other in the event of an attack. The US has also secured access to nine Philippine military bases, allowing it to station troops and arms sometimes just a few hundred kilometers from China and Taiwan. In the event of a war between the US and China, the Philippines would find itself on the front lines.The archipelago nation is now a line of demarcation in one of the world's most turbulent maritime regions.

Democracy under threat? The rise of the far-right in Germany | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-08 | Support for the far-right is growing in Germany, raising fears of a new 1933 - the year Adolf Hitler came to power. Does the recent electoral success of the far-right Alternative for Germany party indicate the country’s democracy is under threat?In the eastern state of Thuringia, the extreme right has become the strongest force in the state parliament for the first time in post-war history. The development has triggered comparisons to the rise of Hitler - it was in Thuringia that the Nazis first entered a regional government, just three years before Hitler took power nationwide.Some Germans are concerned that democracy is hanging in the balance. Hundreds of thousands of people are now taking to the streets regularly to voice their support for democracy and take a stand against right-wing extremism. But is the Germany of 2024 really comparable to that of 1933?This documentary explores parallels between then and now, and also looks at other events that took place in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s. Back then, neo-Nazis wanted to make the small town of Langen in Hesse the first "foreigner-free” town in Germany. After German reunification in 1990, right-wing extremist groups also became increasingly influential in East Germany. Is the AfD's election success a further step in the growth of the far-right in Germany and a threat to democracy?#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Tel Aviv and October 7 | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-07 | The Hamas terror attack of 7 October 2023 has had profound consequences in Israel, Gaza and beyond. This film asks how those in Tel Aviv have reacted to the subsequent war, and what they expect the future will bring.In the summer of 2023, DW’s Kai Steinecke was in Tel Aviv filming a lifestyle series. He met nightclub owners, creatives, restaurateurs, LGBTQ activists and architects, all working in what was a lively, liberal metropolis. Then came October 7th, and everything changed.In May of 2024, the same people return to speak about their experiences in the wake of the attack, how daily life has changed for them, and what the future may hold for their country. The result is a moving personal documentary and a portrait of a very different city to the one that was recorded a year ago. The square in front of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art has been renamed "Hostages Square", with empty chairs commemorating the kidnapped. At the once-bustling Carmel Market, many stalls are now deserted. And cultural center Habima Square, famous for its theatre and orchestra, now has a large illuminated sign stating: "Bring them home”. We accompany several people into their personal spaces as they show us how their individual, day-to-day lives have changed. The documentary lays these contrasts bare by juxtaposing present-day scenes with those filmed before October 7th, back when Tel Aviv was the "capital of cool" — a world-famous party city with the Middle East’s largest spaces devoted to queer life and culture. Now, the city and the country are in shock.One example is fun-loving bureka vendor Kobi Shmuel, who was drafted into the army and had to close his stall at Carmel Market. He was initially deployed in the Gaza Strip, where one of his comrades was killed. Or architect Shiraz Solomon, who showed us last year how she turned an old Templar building into luxury housing. Now the architect is helping others build bunkers for Israelis and accessible apartments for those injured in the war. The Palestinian workers that used to work on her construction sites are no longer allowed to enter the country. Muhammad Zoabi, a university student and LGBTQ activist from an Arab-Muslim family, is dealing with the fact that a friend and fellow student was kidnapped at the Nova Festival on October 7th and has not been heard from since. Shani Goldstein had led DW host Kai Steinecke through Tel Aviv in the original 2023 production. But now, because of the October 7th attack, the co-presenter has lost her jobs as a model and radio host. She doesn’t understand why Israel is becoming increasingly internationally isolated as an agressor.These stories and others provide personal insights into a traumatized society. The film is a contemporary document that, despite deep sadness, also offers hope for a time after the war.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

How can ships become cleaner? | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-06 | Soot, particle pollution and heavy fuel oil: freighters and cruise liners are real climate killers. It’s high time for a change of course on the seas. The film shows how both innovations and tried-and-tested ideas can make shipping cleaner. Container ships supply people all over the world with goods, while cruises attract millions of passengers every year. But ships also cause around three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. This is despite the fact that emission-free maritime trade has been possible for thousands of years - thanks to the wind. "We need to get back to sailing ships," says Captain Andreas Lackner. Fifteen years ago, the Austrian and two friends put a sailing cargo ship into operation. The "Tres Hombres" has been working since 2010, transporting up to 40 tons of goods across the seas without an engine. The clipper ship takes cocoa and rum from the Caribbean to Europe, or 20,000 bottles of organic wine from La Rochelle to Copenhagen. "We’re closing the gap between fairly paid producers of organic goods and conscious consumers," says Lackner. Others have also rediscovered the power of the wind. Ralf Oltmanns from East Frisia sailed the world's oceans at the age of 16, before founding an advertising agency. Now, 30 years later, the passionate sailor has developed a new twist on a century-old propulsion system in order to make large ships cleaner. The Flettner rotor, named after its inventor, Anton Flettner, is a type of sailing machine: a cylindrical structure that rotates in the wind to generate thrust. Oltmanns has used the original invention to create a modern product. "Depending on the size of the rotor and the wind conditions, a freighter can save between 5 and 25 percent on fuel," the 63-year-old calculates. The rotor could make both cargo and passenger ships more climate-friendly. Anna Braren was convinced by his idea: Her shipping company equipped its first ship with the Flettner rotor in 2021. With countless innovations and strict regulations, Norway is leading the way in the transition to emission-free shipping. The Scandinavians are focusing on electric motors and hybrid technologies. Climate change is already being felt in the Norwegian Arctic - another reason why the government is getting serious. From 2026, only emission-free ships will be allowed to sail in Norway's most beautiful fjords. And climate-friendly tourist ships are already sailing along the traditional postal ship route. #documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Trauma in the Middle East: The terror of Hamas and Israels war in Gaza | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-05 | How was the attack on the Israeli state prepared? How was it even possible? To mark the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, the documentary film analyzes the failures of intelligence services, politics and the army.Could the catastrophe have been prevented? What motivated Hamas to carry out the attack? And what was Israel’s response - with which consequences?In the making of this film, directors Duki Dror and Jens Strohschnieder revisit scenes where the 7 October attack took place and speak to survivors, journalists and security experts.For some Israelis, the gruesome events of that day are reminiscent of bloody pogroms and the Holocaust. For the Palestinians, the ensuing Israeli war in Gaza is triggering memories of the Nakba. The film poses the question of whether these traumas can explain the incomprehensible atrocities and the lack of empathy on both sides. Leading traumatologists worldwide try to explain the incomprehensible. Can there be any hope at all? "Hurt People Hurt People: October 7 and its Aftermath” looks at both sides of this spiral of violence - and tries to paint the big picture, which is often lost in the incessant stream of breaking news bulletins.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

The baobab tree - A universe of its own | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-04 | In the tropical dry forests of Madagascar, the baobab tree plays a vital role. It’s especially important during times of drought, which all forest-dwellers have had to adapt to. But these ancient trees are also highly endangered.The majestic baobabs are the silent guardians of Madagascar’s tropical dry forests. The trees are a big part of indigenous culture and folklore. Among the Sakalavas, each family has its own tree, which is hollowed out and serves as a reservoir in times of drought. Thanks to its fibrous structure, the baobab trunk acts like a sponge that can store up to 120,000 liters of water.The baobabs are a crucial part of the forests’ biodiversity: lizards, salamanders, snakes, birds and small mammals find food and shelter among them. Ants live in harmony with the trees, enriching the soil around them and helping rainwater to seep into the ground. But the baobabs are now considered highly endangered, and action must be taken to prevent these unique trees from becoming extinct.#documentary #dwdocumentary #trees #wildlife ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Why are oceans so important? | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-03 | The ocean is our planet’s life support system. 🌊 It is the largest habitat on the planet, covering about 71% of the earth’s surface. It acts as an important heat buffer and absorbs almost 30% of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities. However, the ocean is facing major threats like climate change, overfishing, pollution and industrial exploitation. 🆘 The deep sea holds large quantities of valuable materials such as manganese, nickel, cobalt, and copper, which are in high demand as they are used to produce technology like mobile phones. As land-based resources become increasingly limited, marine deposits are attracting more attention as the world shifts away from fossil fuels. What are the consequences of exploiting the ocean floor?

Cold War relics - East Germany’s underground secrets | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-02 | Hidden in the forests of eastern Germany are relics of the Cold War. This documentary follows experts as they search for clues and uncover secrets in the bunkers of the former East GermanyThe German state of Brandenburg is home to a ghost town. Parts of the town of Wünsdorf are still cordoned off today. That’s because Wünsdorf was once the East German headquarters of the Soviet armed forces. This "forbidden town" also includes the World War Two era "Zeppelin" bunker, used by the German Wehrmacht and later by the Soviets for their "Ranet" intelligence center. It was from here that orders for all Soviet soldiers stationed in East Germany were sent, as well as all reports to Moscow. The film follows bunker expert Sylvia Rademacher as she goes underground to uncover Soviet secrets.During the Cold War, fears of a nuclear conflict prompted the East German political leadership to take action. In the event of such a war, the "Mielke” nuclear bunker in Biesenthal, Brandenburg was intended to serve as a command post for the head of the security service, or "Stasi”. Observing strict safety precautions, expert Hans-Jürgen Herget guides visitors through the huge underground facility. The building extends over two floors, with more than one hundred rooms. It stands in contrast to the simple shelters meant for the families of East Germany’s political elite in nearby Wandlitz.In Machern, near Leipzig, Jana Bleyl shows how East Germany’s state apparatus was supposed to operate from underground in the event an emergency. The former regime critic wants to uncover the history of the almost 4,000-square-meter Stasi bunker here. Its furnishings, as well as its communications and surveillance equipment, are still preserved in their original condition.#documentary #dwdocumentary #history #coldwar ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-10-01 | Climate change could halve the amount of land suitable for coffee production by 2050. In a bid to save one of the world’s most popular drinks, many people are busy experimenting with more resilient coffee varieties and sustainable growing methods.In Uganda, about 1.8 million smallholders make their living growing coffee. Coffee beans are one of the East African country’s most important exports. But droughts, torrential rain, and pest damage are increasing problems. The most common types of coffee, Arabica and Robusta, are at risk because they need stable temperatures. That’s why Davis Kuloba and other farmers are now pinning their hopes on a wild type of coffee, Liberica, which appears to be more climate-resilient and resistant to pests. However, not everyone is convinced by its taste. There’s still more work to be done to improve how its cultivated and processed. In the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, a cooperative is growing coffee under the shade of other trees. This model runs counter to conventional, industrial-scale coffee plantations. It’s hoped that this strategy, known as agroforestry, will help future-proof coffee production. More and more coffee roasting companies in Germany are showing an interest in alternative forms of cultivation. The industry is changing, thanks to the rise of resilient bean varieties, sustainable cultivation, and fairer trade conditions. Coffee — fit for the future.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Ireland combats crack and cocaine | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-30 | Cocaine and crack cocaine are spreading across Ireland—and not just in the capital Dublin, but in more rural areas as well. How did this happen, and what is being done to combat it?International drug smugglers are increasingly setting their sights on Ireland. According to a report by the U.S. State Department, the western Irish coast is regarded as a gateway to Europe. The police, coastguard, navy and customs officials are struggling to secure the fjords and bays, which are difficult to control. People are already referring to County Cork as the Cocaine Coast.

Climate change or climate hoax? Skeptics and activists | Us & Them | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-29 | Climate change is real, and it is dangerous. Some people are actively trying to stop it. Others deny or intensify it - or suppress information. Most don’t bother at all and continue to contribute to global warming through their lifestyle.Anja Windl from Germany is a climate activist with a group called "The Last Generation." They take dramatic action in order to draw attention to climate change. Time and again, they have glued themselves to streets, defaced works of art and private planes, or loudly disrupted events. In Anja's opinion, politicians, business leaders and the majority of citizens in affluent Germany are all failing to do enough to combat climate change. Yet the country is a major contributor to global warming, Anja says. For Thorsten Alsleben, the activities of climate activists are nonsensical and even dangerous. The managing director of the "Initiative New Social Market Economy" - a lobbying organization founded by German industrial companies - does not deny that climate change exists. However, he warns against governmental policies that stifle Germany's economic strength. In his opinion, the free market and a carbon tax will serve to ensure companies produce in more climate-friendly ways. Moreover, he says, Germany only contributes around 2 percent to greenhouse gas emissions - much less than front-runners China or the US. Some 9,200 kilometers away from Germany, 38-year-old Anto Purnomo takes his boat through the mangrove forests of Langsa, in the north of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. He makes his living by felling mangroves and selling the wood. Mangroves bind CO2. But more importantly, the plants are key to coastal protection and home to valuable ecological systems, countless fish, and other marine animals. He knows about climate change, but he has to feed his family. Taufik Hidayat, on the other hand, is trying to stop the deforestation of the mangroves. He knows how important they are for the people and nature of the coastal regions. If sea levels continue to rise due to global warming, the mangroves can at least provide some protection. The 24-year-old works for the NGO Indonesian Coastal Conservation Foundation in Langsa, Aceh. His father, a crab fisherman, already warned him about of the dangers to locals if the mangroves continue to disappear. Taufik is aware that everyone has to fight climate change in their own way. But he also knows that people in the wealthy industrialized countries have a special responsibility.Us & Them Series Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLovlAKbQVz6ADQRs-01GJxfY-phAbHCmo#documentary #dwdocumentary #climatechange #UsandThem ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Venezuela - Corruption, mismanagement and abandoned children | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-28 | Corruption and mismanagement have turned Venezuela into a failed state. According to the UN, by November 2023, more than seven million people had fled the country. Some one million children were left behind, alone.The film shows the fate of two single mothers who do everything they can to get by, taking care of themselves and their children. In Maracaibo's Santa Rosa de Agua district, health care has collapsed and children are starving. Carolina has set up a foundation to combat child malnutrition.

But many of the children here have not seen their parents for years and are severely traumatized. Most people in the Santa Rosa district survive by resorting to violence, crime, prostitution and begging. "I've had to do so much for my children," says Kiara. "Selling drugs, stealing, prostituting myself. Everything a woman can do for her children." Her eldest son Yorbenis is 14 and has already joined a gang. Out of desperation, Kiara decides to leave the country for Colombia. She takes her two youngest children with her, while Yorbenis stays behind alone.

Tibet, the Dalai Lama and the power struggle with China | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-27 | The 14th Dalai Lama is 89 years old. The question of who will succeed him has sparked a power struggle between India and China. Beijing wants to be solely in charge of choosing the next Tibetan spiritual leader. In its eyes, Tibet belongs to China.The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959. The older he gets, the more important the question of his succession becomes — not only for the future of Tibet, but also for global geopolitics. India, the United States and the European Union support Tibet, which has demanded autonomy since its annexation by China in 1950. China, meanwhile, does not recognize the Dalai Lama's government in exile.Beijing is now determined to take sole responsibility for appointing the next Dalai Lama, raising fears that the debate could have serious political consequences. Tensions between China and India have been exacerbated by a conflict over a disputed border, which has been smoldering since 1962. When Mao Tse-tung's People's Liberation Army invaded Tibet, India lost the Buddhist neighbor that lay between it and Communist China. With the Tibetan people forced to assimilate, India granted asylum to the 14th Dalai Lama and numerous other refugees, much to Mao Tse-tung's displeasure. Since then, conflict has simmered, especially in the disputed Himalayan border region.By taking power in Tibet, China was also able to secure valuable mineral resources such as chromium, copper, borax, uranium and lithium. It also gained control over the sources of Asia's largest rivers -- something India sees as a threat to its supplies of fresh water.Tibetans themselves are caught in a standoff between the two most populous nations in the world, which are also major economic powers. It is not easy for them to make their voices heard, despite the best efforts of their spiritual leader.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

The Indochina War - The end of French colonial rule in Vietnam (Part 1/2) | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-26 | The Indochina War was one of the bloodiest chapters in French colonial history. Beginning in 1946, the Vietnamese fought to gain their independence from France. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the fighting.During the Second World War, Japan occupied large parts of Indochina -- present-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. After the Japanese surrender in August 1945, the Vietnamese Viet Minh group attempted to create an independent, Communist Vietnam. Under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, this was initially hoped to be achieved peacefully. But the French government wanted to hold on to its colony and sent troops to Southeast Asia. The ensuing battles between the Viet Minh and the French forces, including local soldiers fighting on the side of the French, were marked by extreme ferocity. While the Viet Minh were soon supported by Communist China, the USA became involved in the conflict on the French side. The documentary tells the story of this war of independence, which ended in 1954 with the defeat of the French.

Torn apart - Yemen in the grip of the Houthi militia | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-24 | The Houthi movement has established totalitarian rule in northern Yemen. Who are these militants who invoke the Prophet Mohammed, fire rockets at Israel and paralyze world trade with their attacks on Red Sea shipping?Ten years of civil war have brought Yemen to its knees. In the north, Houthi militias have established a strictly isolated dominion in which oppression, displacement and hunger are rife. It’s a police state, where the security apparatus monitors where people go and what they say. Meanwhile, international organizations describe the situation in Yemen as one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters.Ten years ago, Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, was captured by Houthi fighters, forcing the internationally recognized government to the south. Today, patched-together flags of both Yemen and Gaza fly over the walls of the old city center. The atmosphere is fueled by Houthi propaganda. Israel's attacks on Gaza bring back memories in Yemen, where thousands of civilians have died in airstrikes by the Saudi-led, Western-backed military alliance. Everywhere, there are pictures of militiamen who have been killed in the fighting — often, they look like children.Recently, Houthi attacks on Israel and on ships in the Red Sea have brought the militia back into the public eye. Waging what they describe as a holy war helps them domestically, allowing them to divert people’s dissatisfaction towards an external enemy.This documentary provides a rare look at the Houthis and the territory they control. The filmmakers meet fighters, but also the victims of Houthi militias — Yemenis fighting desperately for their children’s survival, who have almost given up hope of peace.#documentary #dwdocumentary #yemen ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Only one family lives there, and they need to get their letters and packages on time. “Just no refrigerators,” says Knudsen. Those have to come on a boat. The regular hike across the watt is more than just a job for the 69-year-old postman; it’s pure bliss. He says, “I enjoy this peace!” It’s a nearly seven kilometer walk to get there. After a short coffee break, he heads back again, timed with the rolling tides. He always has a few tourists with him in tow during the summer.

Her landlords can make more money renting their properties to digital nomads through Airbnb than to locals like Mary Paz. Blocks away, travel blogger Kesi Irvin chats with other American digital nomads at her Airbnb about how much more they can afford in Mexico than in big cities back in the US. In a tense and emotional exchange, Mary Paz tells Kesi that digital nomads are "kicking us out of our spaces" and that it’s their fault she’ll soon be "on the street." In Vancouver, one of the world’s most desirable - and expensive - places to live, the Indigenous Squamish people are constructing thousands of new apartments, including at the site of their village Senakw, where all 6,000 units will be rental apartments – one in five of them officially designated “affordable.” Leader Wilson Williams says the new towers will bring financial security - and housing - for his people, who were driven out of their villages a century ago. They are also teaming up with other First Nations groups to build high rises at the Jericho Lands former military base, on traditional indigenous territory. But neighbors like Bill Tieleman are campaigning against the towers, even though they admit the city desperately needs more apartments. They argue the ultra-high-density housing projects will destroy the local character and won’t benefit those who need housing most.Us & Them Series Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLovlAKbQVz6ADQRs-01GJxfY-phAbHCmo#documentary #dwdocumentary #housing #UsandThem ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

The ‘troubled teen’ industry in the USA | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-21 | In the USA, teenagers with behavioral problems often end up in re-education centers. These function like prisons, isolating the young people from the outside world. The harsh educational measures sometimes end in death.This documentary sheds light on the extreme methods used in re-education facilities in the USA. These include isolation, torture and humiliation, as well as something called "assault therapy". These practices, which have little or nothing to do with traditional psychological treatments, aim to "reform" individuals through discipline and suffering. The adolescents sent there by their parents are between 8 and 18 years old. These parents report being overwhelmed by their adolescent children, citing problems from learning difficulties to substance abuse, social media addiction, anxiety disorders, depression or a sexual orientation they find unacceptable. These private facilities do a lucrative business. In the hope that their children will get better, families spend thousands of dollars every month. Some even mortgage their homes to pay for their children to be part of these programs. Their children, on the other hand, can suffer lifelong damage there. There have also been cases of suicide. The film features young adults who have managed to escape the prison school system and parents who realized too late how cruel this system is.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Chongqing - Nightlife in the Chinese megacity | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-19 | If you want to experience China, you can't avoid Chongqing. This megacity is growing at a blistering place. But beware, it is not a place for anyone with a fear of heights, or a sensitive stomach.The population of Chongqing, in southwestern China, has exploded over the last 30 years: now, some 32 million people live here. Covering an area the size of Austria, Chongqing is one of the largest cities in the world in terms of physical size. In China, the megacity has become a tourist magnet. It’s known for its unique spots for snapping photos, like the train that runs right through the eighth floor of a high-rise building. Social media influencers have contributed to popularizing the city, once known mainly as an arrival or departure point for cruise tourists. The people of Chongqing have a reputation for being particularly warm-hearted. City guide Zhen Jili, for example, knows every corner of his city, and has witnessed first-hand how his "big village" became a megacity. He takes visitors through his remarkable metropolis, where GPS is useless, because you never know which floor your destination is on.Professional "designated driver" Shen Xun takes the film’s viewers along on his journey through Chongqing's raucous nightlife, where the party doesn‘t end until morning. Because there is a strict ban on drinking and driving in China, anyone who has had a drink can call Shen Xun. He then arrives on his little folding bike, which he stows in the trunk before chauffeuring his customers home in their car. Livestreamers like Paipai can be seen on every street corner in Chongqing. She explains why livestreaming is a billion-dollar business in China, and takes viewers to one of the city's tallest buildings, for a view from right in the middle of the skyline. #documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Smart insects - The astonishing intelligence of bumblebees, wasps & co. | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-18 | The latest research shows we’ve long underestimated the intelligence of insects. Bumblebees, for example, succeed at behavioral tests also passed by intelligent crows. They use tools to reach nectar in an artificial flower.Behavioral biologist Elizabeth Tibbetts is amazed at the paper wasp’s capacity to learn and understand. "They may not be universal geniuses like artists, but they’re brilliant in their fields,” says the researcher at the University of Michigan. The animals can memorize faces, eavesdrop on fighting rivals to assess potential opponents and think strategically. They can master brain teasers that even small children can’t solve.Bumblebees, along with their relatives bees and paper wasps, are just three of almost a million insect species worldwide. But when it comes to these species, science agrees that the image of robotic creatures with no intelligence, that only exist to eat, be eaten or produce offspring, is outdated.Below, above and alongside us live tiny animals capable of learning and acting with intelligence. They are able to store images, shapes, colors and experiences in their brains. For a long time, it was generally believed that intelligent behavior in insects was superfluous, as most only live for a few weeks.Earwigs live for about a year; as babies, their mothers apparently teach them how to nurture their own brood. What’s even more surprising: insects from the same clutch can develop different personality traits. In horseradish flea beetles, for example, some are braver than others. And, as evolutionary biologist Elizabeth Tibbetts says: "Paper wasps are as bitchy as the protagonists of Game of Thrones." The animals plot, betray colleagues and fight to the death to be queen.The insect world is much more complex than previously thought. One reason is that any species with a wide range of diverse individuals can better adapt to climate changes - an evolutionary advantage for survival.#documentary #dwdocumentary ______DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

The fight against exploitation of migrant workers in Italy | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-17 | Yvan Sagnet has been campaigning against the exploitation of migrant workers in Italy for years. His organization No Cap works to ensure fair conditions for laborers in the agricultural industry.Originally from Cameroon, Yvan Sagnet himself was an agricultural worker in southern Italy. He went on to found the organization No Cap, which campaigns for fair wages and conditions in agriculture, and against criminal exploitation of migrant laborers.Along with thousands of other migrants, Kausuu Kasseme from Gambia lives in the notorious Borgo Mezzanone ghetto, which lacks basic sanitary facilities.

The sago crisis in Indonesia | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-16 | Children are particularly affected by large-scale deforestation in Indonesia. The indigenous people are suffering. For centuries, the people of South Papua have observed a healthy tradition. Several times a day they ate sago, a starch extracted from native palm trees. Sago is one of their main staples, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to get: forests are being cut down as a source of green energy. And this has consequences: indigenous people are suffering from malnutrition and children have stunted growth. This is because the rice preferred by the government isn't a good alternative for the indigenous communities.

Why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer | Us & Them | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-15 | As societies get more prosperous, more and more people are unable to afford many basic needs. In South Africa and in the UK, Liz and Sakhumzi believe in the virtues of capitalism, whilst Jamie and Princess struggle to make ends meet.Despite the UK being one of the richest countries in the world, 20% of its population - around 14 million people - live in poverty.

Ireland’s most beautiful train route | DW Documentary DW Documentary 2024-09-12 | Spectacular cliffs and traces of the Vikings can be found along Ireland’s most beautiful train route. It leads from Rosslare in the southeast via the capital, Dublin, to the Howth Peninsula. In times gone by, the region has been inhabited by Vikings, Normans and the English.The scenery in the east of the Emerald Isle is picturesque: long beaches and solitary mountains. This was where the Vikings once landed. The Normans also left their mark. The region is also marked by its centuries-old history with England. In addition to the magnificent castles of the former colonial rulers, the ruins of an early Christian monastery and a prehistoric dolmen tomb bear witness to the diverse cultural influences here. The camera team meets people who embody the modern nation while continuing to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors. A detour leads to the fertile hinterland of County Wexford and magical places in the Wicklow Mountains, before heading into the hustle and bustle of the city of Dublin.
