Most of Hong Kong s free press has been dismantled, and many leading journalists have been arrested. Jacky has decided to keep reporting anyway, and now works alone. Former journalist Kris hopes to foster media literacy through a bookstore. Neither route is easy, however. Kris has to jump hurdles to find the books he is interested in for his store. He ends up having to import many from Taiwan. Meanwhile Jacky, who now self-publishes his work online, is troubled by a user comment. The user said they would report Jacky s work to the national security police. In the ‘Reporters Without Borders’ press freedom index, Hong Kong plummeted from the 80th to the 148th place in just one year.

Arthur Soufflet is far from your average 13-year-old. Not only is he an enthusiastic painter whose work sells quickly, but for years he’s been using the proceeds to help the homeless. Now, other young people in France are following his example. Arthur was still a small child when he saw a homeless person for the first time. It made a deep impression. He was on vacation with his family and watched as artists sold their works to tourists along the boardwalk. That’s when inspiration struck. While still on vacation, Arthur began creating artwork and selling it. But instead of keeping the money for himself, he passed on the proceeds to the homeless. And now, at age 13, he’s still going strong. As time’s passed, his paintings have not only improved in quality, but his profits have increased too. In his interactions with people experiencing homelessness, Arthur is as polite as ever and sets an example, showing other young people how rewarding it can be to help those in need.

Children subjected to bullying often carry lifelong scars. Many go on to suffer from mental illness, and some are even driven to contemplate suicide. In Spain, the tragic case of Kira López has triggered a nationwide debate on bullying. At the age of 15, Kira López took her own life. Her parents say bullying at school drove her to her death. They accuse the school of failing to take action to stop the bullying and have filed a lawsuit. They want those responsible to be held to account and hope to spare other children the bullying that their daughter went through. Brian Giner also knows what it means to have everyday school life turned into a nightmare. He was bullied for twelve years because he had crossed eyes. He changed schools repeatedly, mostly blaming himself for what was happening: "For a long time, I thought bullying was normal. If you experience it for long enough, you start to believe everything they say about you. It took me a long time, for example, to be able to look my partner in the eye. Then there was the terrible fear of facing a group. The fear of giving a presentation, and appearing in front of lots of people. I panicked at the thought that someone might make eye contact with me.” He’s written a book describing his ordeal. His aim in particular is to encourage others affected by bullying. He regularly visits schools and gives lectures and workshops aimed at preventing bullying. Together with Kira s father José Manuel, he’s campaigning for a nationwide anti-bullying law. Their goal is to raise awareness of the problem and bring about lasting change. They’re calling for clear, nationwide rules for dealing with bullies and documentation of each case, applicable to every school and in every part of Spain. Only then, says Kira’s father, will he be able to find some peace. #documentary #dwdocumentary ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Only a few years ago, it was hard to imagine a Saudi woman working in the music industry — but the kingdom is slowly changing. There are three young women at an electronic music festival: MDLBeast, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia — and the region. In attendance, are hundreds of thousands of music fans and more than one hundred DJs, including Dorar and Solskin. They used to party underground before the scene was deregulated. Now, in their mid-twenties, they are exploring their new-found freedom — which causes some tension between them and their parents. For the women, it’s an exciting time. But did the royal family implement these changes primarily for economic growth or as an attempt to rebrand its image? That remains to be seen.

Shirin Neshat supports the Iranian opposition, loves contradictions and sees herself as a freedom fighter who uses the weapons of art against the oppression of Islamic women. Artist, filmmaker and photographer, Shirin Neshat was born in Iran in 1957, and now lives in New York. Her international breakthrough followed a series of black and white photographs: "Women of Allah." In 1990, eleven years after the start of the Islamic Revolution, Shirin Neshat captured her impressions of Iran s transformation in large-format photographs. Provocative images that depict femininity and violence: Women wearing a chador and carrying a rifle, prepared for battle, yet defenseless. Major international exhibitions followed, highly acclaimed video productions, a feature film debut at the Venice Film Festival and an opera production in Salzburg in the summer of 2017: Verdi s "Aida" - the story of a stranger, a refugee crushed between male powers, the clergy, the military and the state. Her second feature film, "Looking for Oum Kulthum," soon followed. The film, an encounter with arguably the most famous singer in the Arab world, is scheduled for release in 2018. We speak with Shirin Neshat about her art, female identity, life between two cultures, the Western perception of the Muslim world, about the struggle for liberation, emancipation and her greatest trauma, exile. _______ Exciting, powerful and informative – DW Documentary is always close to current affairs and international events.

What links 80-year-old Sue Parfitt and 20-year-old Carla Rochel? Both are committed to taking action on climate change. Eighty-year-old Sue Parfitt from Britain no longer understands the world. Because of climate change, she says, her grandchildren s existence is threatened - and nobody seems to really care. So she’s decided to take the initiative: Together with other environmental activists, she blocks oil shipments, and her actions land her in court. Meanwhile in Germany, 20-year-old Carla Rochel s protest movement calls itself the "Last Generation" that will be able to avert a climate catastrophe. They too block ports, airports and highways, sticking themselves to roads using superglue. The threat of jail doesn’t deter them either. They want the German government to act fast on more climate protection measures. The two women show that alarm over our changing climate is something that transcends generations.

The Basque terrorist organization ETA is a thing of the past. But be they behind bars or walking around in freedom, the treatment of former ETA members is controversial and divisive. ETA waged a violent struggle for an independent Basque country for over 50 years, killing more than 800 people in the process before finally disbanding in May 2018. But what has become of ETA’s former members and supporters now that it no longer exists? Two hundred and twenty one of them are currently still in prisons across Spain and their families are demanding their transfer to jails in the Basque Country itself. But that would only be the first stage: They are also calling for their release in the foreseeable future. But many victims of ETA violence are against any relaxation of prison conditions even if the organization is now defunct. At the same time, however, more and more prisoners are returning to society after serving their sentences. In the Basque Country, with its nearly 2.2 million inhabitants, they often end up living next door to people who suffered in ETA’s terror campaign. This documentary poses the question: What future peaceful coexistence? -------------------------------------------------------------------- DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

At age 87, landlady Hildegard Schweinsberg is still behind the bar every day. Her pub "Zur Börse" is the heart and soul of the small village of Neuhaus. People meet here to drink, relax and catch up. What will happen if this tradition dies out? A church, a cemetery and a pub surrounded by fields and forests - the scene of a typical, idyllic German village. But it s becoming increasingly rare. Many people are moving to the cities, and in the villages there are fewer places to meet and catch up. The pub has always been an integral part of country life, and for one lucky village of 1500 people, it s still a thriving tradition. In Neuhaus on the river Elbe, Hildegard Schweinsberg has been running "Zur Börse" for nearly 60 years. And at age 87, she still can t imagine ever giving up, despite often needing a walker to serve her customers. And there s no one to take over anyway.

Eckardt Heukamp is refusing to budge: He s the last remaining resident of Lützerath in North-Rhine Westphalia, situated on the edge of a huge open-cast lignite mine. The energy giant RWE wants to dig, but Heukamp is digging in his heels. The other residents of Lützerath accepted RWE s compensation offer and moved away. Only Heukamp refused to go and continues to run his farm on the edge of the lignite mine. A David-and-Goliath saga that’s hit the international headlines. The farmer has even received a visit from the young icon of the environmental movement Greta Thunberg. Germany s new coalition government, which includes the Greens, wants an earlier phase-out of lignite-based electricity. A boost for farmer Heukamp, who says there’s no need to demolish his property. And in any case, he s not going anywhere. A report by Miodrag Soric. #documentary #dwdocumentary #coal ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

After the government froze its assets, Hong Kong s "Apple Daily" was forced to shut down. It was one of the city s few media outlets that dared to criticize Beijing. What happens now? We accompany two former staffers: a reporter and a photographer. Pun has won awards for his investigative reporting. Harry is proud of every one of his photos that was published in the "Apple Daily". Now both young men are out of work and don’t know what to do next. Some of their former colleagues gave up journalism even before the newspaper closed down, while others are now being brought to court. That’s because, in 2020, China introduced its controversial Hong Kong National Security Law. As a result, even a newspaper article could be viewed as "inciting subversion" or "colluding with foreign forces" in the eyes of the law. This has made life even harder for journalists working in the Special Administrative Region. They say that the demise of "Apple Daily" has dealt a severe blow to press freedom in Hong Kong.

A new phone every year? Not for him. Gratzel has worked out the biggest sources of CO2 emissions in our daily lives and has cut these as much as he can for him and his family. He s pleased with the result and says the reductions do not impact on his quality of life. Now he s taking it a step further. The businessman has bought an industrial site and is carrying out an environmental assessment. Of course, not everyone has the money to do that. Can we afford to protect the environment?

The Stasi spied on Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber for years - after they applied to go to the West. Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they both look back at their Stasi files. The Stasi files of Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber include intercepted letters, official documents and countless reports by spies who meticulously noted everything about their lives, including the turning on and off of lights. When Silke Orphal and Ilona Seeber, who were both ordinary typists at Neues Deutschland - the official newspaper of the Socialist Unity Party - applied to leave the GDR, it was considered scandalous. They were ostracized at work, threatened and subjected to interrogations that lasted hours. What did the experience do to them? How do they look back on that time today?

Germany is undergoing a sea change after sixteen years with Angela Merkel as chancellor. Elections this fall gave parliamentary seats to many younger politicians, including Kassem Taher Saleh of the Green Party and Ria Schröder of the liberal FDP. Like the other new members of parliament, Kassem Taher Saleh and Ria Schröder first have to orient themselves in Germany’s capital, Berlin, and in the parliament, the Bundestag. It’s a microcosm, with many of its own rules and routines that need to be learned from day one. What’s more, the new MPs need to set up new apartments, start dressing the part and get to know their parliamentary party colleagues. It’s a lot to take on in one go. DW Reporters Leonie von Hammerstein and Florian Nusch have followed the cub legislators on their first forays in Berlin and have asked them what they would like to introduce into the Bundestag. #Germanpolitics #Germany #dwdocumentary #documentary ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

As she travels the Mediterranean, journalist Sineb El Masrar visits Sicily, Italy’s largest island. She meets citrus farmers and puppeteers, and journeys from active volcano Mount Etna to the regional capital, Palermo, a hub for marine rescue efforts. Sicily produces some 1.5 million tons of citrus fruit annually. Near Catania, Sineb helps organic farmer Manfredi Grinaudi with the winter harvest. She also meets Enrica Arena, whose company "Orange Fiber" makes clothing from citrus peel. Sicily has a dramatic history, and nobody tells it better than the "Fratelli Napoli", a long-established family of puppeteers from Catania. In the "Piccolo Teatro", Sineb learns all about this famous performance tradition. Sicilians have a special bond with "Mama Etna," as they affectionately call Europe’s highest active volcano. Sineb accompanies volcanologist Giuseppe Salerno up the peak to a chilly 3,000 meters above sea level. Then it s back to the milder temperatures of the Mediterranean: Palermo is Sicily’s capital, and has a population of almost 700,000. It was long considered a stronghold of the Sicilian mafia, until residents fought back. Sineb meets Chiara Utro from the anti-mafia movement "Addiopizzo", as well as Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando, who helps people rescuing refugees at sea. Finally, Sineb visits Modica, where she tastes the exquisite products of a local chocolate manufacturer. That’s enough to tempt her colleague Jaafar Abdul Karim to join her, and the two compare notes on their Mediterranean journeys.

Marie-Claire Kakpotia Moraldo will never forget the day that she was forced to endure FGM. "They promised me a party. I was looking forward to it until I heard the screams of the other girls." Thousands of women continue to share the same fate as Marie-Claire - in Europe, too. In the French city of Bordeaux Marie-Claire Kakpotia Moraldo is campaigning against female genital mutilation through her association called Les orchidees rouges, or The Red Orchids. She suffered from the physical and psychological effects of FGM for a very long time. "Now, I’m doing well,” she says. Nathalie Kanga came across the association on the Internet. Here she can get free help from doctors, therapists, and even lawyers. The literature student from Ivory Coast is relieved that she can finally talk to someone about what happened to her. She also hopes that she will also be able to get help for her 11-year-old twin daughters. They face genital mutilation in Ivory Coast. More than 200 million women suffer from FGM worldwide. The procedure is often carried out by women who have no medical training. They use razor blades, glass shards, or other unsterile instruments to completely, or partially, remove external female genitalia. FGM exists on all continents except in the Antarctic, Marie-Claire Kakpotia Moraldo tells us. "Christians, Muslims and Animists all practice this ritual to control female sexuality and, ultimately, women’s lives.” #documentary #dwdocumentary #FGM ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Primeval forests in northern Europe are threatened by logging operations. But conservationists calls for more protection are making headway. Sweden’s forestry giant, Sveaskog, will leave more forest alone, which will benefit the Indigenous Sami. On maps, Lapland looks like one giant forest. But as you advance north in the border area between Sweden and Finland, the signs of logging become more and more apparent. That is due, in part, to Sveaskog, Sweden’s largest owner of forestland. Greenpeace targeted Sweden’s state-owned company with months-long demonstrations. Sami reindeer herders have also long been fighting to protect their last winter grazing pastures. Finland is ahead of the game thanks to a protest 20 years ago in Inari, the heart of Finnish Sami culture. As a result, it was decided to leave part of the primeval forest standing rather than chopping it down to become disposable paper cups, newspapers, and toilet paper. Sveaskog is now pledging to cut down fewer trees in the future and leave room for the traditional reindeer herding practices of the Indigenous Sami. The forest will once again be a nursery to hundreds of baby reindeer. #documentary #dwdocumentary #forest #Lapland ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

In the beginning, Regina’s primary response was fear. Fear of dying. The Berliner had already dealt with a lot: Lung cancer, a brain tumour. But there is no cure for the lung disease COPD. The alveoli in the lungs are destroyed; the lung capacity decreases; breathlessness and panic attacks follow – and in the end, death. The 67-year-old wants to make the most of her last months, and to make her own decisions on what happens to her and when. Her husband and children support her as much as they can. But Regina also wants a professional death companion at her side. Someone who has already seen what’s in store for her and can take away her fear of death. A report by Sylvia Wassermann. #documentary #dwdocumentary #reporter ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

"My eating was an issue from the beginning," Miriam Notowicz says: "I was the little fat girl and my mother was the beautiful thin woman." Girls as young as five say their dream for the future is to be thin, or definitely not fat. With this in mind, the hashtag #Bodypositivity was a liberation cry for heavier people. Who are these fat people keeping up the fight for fat acceptance and against fat phobia? And what kind of courage do heavier people need to raise their voices in public against the discrimination of their body shape? A report by Susanne Bruha. #documentary #dwdocumentary #reporter #bodyshaming #inclusion ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
