"Beat the Algerians to death!" cried mobs of young men rampaging through Erfurt for three days in August 1975. Assaults on foreigners did not fit into Communist East Germany's official self-image at all. Nevertheless, foreign contract workers were repeatedly hounded and subjected to violent attacks. Many of these crimes are still unsolved today.

Japan has a problem: romantic relationships and sex are becoming a rarity. A quarter of all Japanese between the ages of 30 and 40 are virgins, and half the population admit they rarely have sex. The social impact is enormous: birth rates are so low that the Japanese population could plunge by one-third by 2060.

What does the world really know about women in Saudi Arabia? Not much, apart from a few clichés: Saudi women "weren't allowed to drive," or they "have to cover up completely when leaving the house." What's the truth? A German camera team was granted much sought-after permission to film there. Their report provides a unique glimpse into the lives of Saudi woman and their families.
Doors are opening: Saudi women are suddenly becoming business executives, university professors and members of parliament. Since February 2017, the Saudi stock exchange has had its first female chairperson, Sarah Al-Suhaimi. And then there's Dr. Reem Alfrayan: in her early 40s, married with four children, she received a doctorate in education in California before returning to Riyadh. Ten years ago, she as a woman would not have been allowed to enter the building of the Council of Saudi Chambers. Today she is its Assistant Secretary General and director of its businesswomen's division. Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud is both an entrepreneur with her own luxury department store in Riyadh and an official in the country's top sports federation. If a family has no sons, daughters can inherit large companies. And emancipation is filtering down into the middle classes as well. Education is the watchword. Saudi young women are pushing into the job market, and foreign companies are eager to hire them. "Female Saudi applicants are far fitter than their male competitors," says Thomas Dreiling from Thyssen-Krupp. Today, Saudi woman may also work as saleswomen or at supermarket checkouts. New laws and a new pragmatism in their application are making it possible. Companies are supposed to give their female employees their own 'compartment'. But, says Aljohara Almansour, personnel manager at Thyssen-Krupp, "Our office door is always open and we hold meetings together with the men." Saudi Arabia, whose state budget was in the red in 2015 for the first time in decades due to falling oil prices, can no longer afford to keep half the population shut up at home. The driving ban is already a thing of the past - but a more important goal for Saudi feminists is to do away with the system of male guardianship entirely.

A cultural shift is underway in India. Most young Indians are still married off by their families. But more and more young people are rebelling against arranged marriages and falling in love across the boundaries of caste and religion. Often the couples risk their lives when their relationships become known. They can get support from a New Delhi-based organization called Love Commandos.
The men of Love Commandos are the last hope for Indian couples that want to marry against the will of their parents. They offer the lovers shelter in their headquarters in New Delhi and protect them from angry relatives - sometimes with methods worthy of a spy film. India is undergoing a cultural upheaval that is shaking the country’s caste-riven society to its core and tearing families apart. It is the struggle between two different notions of love - arranged marriage vs. marriage for love. This report accompanies two couples on those different paths. Sahil and Dayita’s love has transcended caste boundaries. They met on Facebook and fled from Pune to Delhi because Dayita's parents wanted to marry her to another man. Meanwhile, Khasish found his future wife Sheenu through a professional matchmaker. Marriage broker Geeta Gupta is convinced that arranged marriages last longer because they are not based merely on sexual attraction. He describes them as a seed planted by the parents and raised in the nourishing soil of the extended family. So while Khasish and Sheenu are showered with gifts, Dayita and Sahil fear for their future. In India anyone who opposes their family is lost. There are no housing benefits and no social welfare - only a complex network of aunts and uncles, grandnieces and brothers-in-law that traditionally provides couples with jobs or an apartment. Does Dayita and Sahil’s love really stand a chance?

Drug wars and crime are tearing Mexico apart. In recent years, more than 200,000 people have been murdered, tortured or simply disappeared without a trace. The responsibility lies not only with the drug cartels, but also with the police and armed forces. Three human rights activists collect testimony on the atrocities for submission to the International Criminal Court.

Street Food is about cuisine and cultural identity. Food trucks and street vendors all have a story to tell. The cradle of the street food tradition is Asia, where every region has its own specialties. To explore Asian street food is to learn about a society and its culture, history and politics.
Normen Odenthal and Thomas Reichart travel across four Asian countries exploring the diversity of the street food tradition, from the staples served up for tourists to the secrets of Xinjiang cuisine. The intrepid pair make a point of sampling everything, including frogs, scorpions and insects. They also find out how cooking can be an escape from poverty; Saiyuud Diwong, who grew up in the slums of Bangkok, now rubs shoulders with the likes of Jamie Oliver. She’s also published a book and runs a cookery school. At a bazaar in Xinjiang, at the heart of the Silk Road, they meet Alimu, whose specialty is lamb kebabs. And they visit Japan, where they see how a classic ramen noodle soup is made

The densely packed old town of Rauma is the largest wooden urban district in Northern Europe. It is one of the few medieval cities on the west coast of Finland whose basic structures are still intact. Rauma was awarded city rights by a knight of the Swedish court in 1442.
Three hundred years after the last major fire in the 17th Century, Rauma’s citizens lovingly rebuilt it, with architects and artists paying close attention to the original medieval style. Rauma also benefited from the general upturn in Europe around the turn of the 20th Century, when the shipping industry brought the city enormous prosperity, and the formerly gray facades of the houses were painted in the colors we still see today. Nevertheless, Rauma is not a museum. Despite rapid industrialization, its old core’s creative and inspiring blend of tradition and progress has preserved its original charm. It is home to some 180 workshops and companies and some 800 residents. The small wooden town by the sea has a future - thanks to its dedicated citizens.

Around 12,000 years ago, humans underwent a transition from the mobile lifestyle of hunter-gatherers to the settled life of farmers. That epoch, the Stone Age, produced monumental building works. How did our ancestors live and build back then? Part 2 of this two-part documentary takes us to unique archaeological sites in Scotland, Brittany, Austria, Malta, Turkey and Jordan.
The gigantic stone circles, temples and tombs from the Stone Age beg the question not only as to why this effort was made, but also of how, given the technical possibilities of the time, our ancestors were capable of building structures like the Barnenez burial mound or the stone ring of Orkney. How many people did they need to transport a 20-ton stone? A team led by experimental archaeologist Wolfgang Lobisser carries out a test with a wooden sledge and a two-ton stone block. The Neolithic seems to have been a fairly peaceful era; at least, no artifacts indicating military conflicts have been found so far. Raids and attacks that wiped out entire villages have only been confirmed for the later Bronze Age. But the foundations of many disputes were laid back then. In addition to cult objects, the Neolithic also saw the development of the first trading systems. "The people of the Neolithic were the first to become really dependent on material goods," says Marion Benz from the University of Freiburg, pointing to wafer-thin sandstone rings that researchers have found in large numbers in the Neolithic village of Ba'ja in Jordan. We need to know about prehistory in order to understand the present. Population explosion, consumerism and megacities are ultimately the heritage of the Neolithic period, when sedentary societies first appeared.

Two adjacent landscapes in the southern Sahara: The Air - a rugged mountainous area of rocks and crags, gray, black and forbidding: and the Ténéré with its lovely ocher dunes that are constantly changing shape
The Ténéré, known as the "Desert of Deserts," is crisscrossed by sparsely vegetated valleys where the last desert inhabitants try to survive as nomads. Camel caravans carry salt from the Ténéré southwards. A journey through a bleak landscape with neither roads nor tracks. The desert is constantly changing, its border continuing to move further south. As the desert interior continues to dry out, humans and animals are being forced out. Even the oases are being abandoned. All that remains is the beauty of the desert.
