Spectacular surfing footage and an important message: The documentary "White Waves" looks at surfers who are fighting the pollution of the oceans. The authors join the surfers to identify largely unnoticed cases of marine pollution. Some the surfers are even taking the fight for clean seas into the law courts.
The surfer's love for the sea is turning into an effective weapon in the fight against marine pollution. Surfing superhero Kelly Slater once said: "I think when a surfer becomes a surfer, it's almost like an obligation to be an environmentalist at the same time." But commitment to environmental protection cannot be taken for granted. Even surfing itself can even be a threat to the oceans. Material such as surfboards and wetsuits can pollute the environment; flights to surfing locations lead to high CO2 emissions that adversely affect the climate; and surfers leave rubbish on the beaches. The documentary tells the story of a group of surfers fighting for clean seas and also highlights things anyone can do to protect the oceans. Marine pollution occurs worldwide, and the surfers go to great lengths to identify its sources. But the film doesn’t just send out an important message about global ecology, it also features some breathtaking surfing footage.

When the Soviet Union succeeded in launching a satellite into orbit in 1957, the world reacted with fear and fascination in equal measure. Western scientists were stunned. In the Eastern Bloc, the Sputnik launch was celebrated as proof of Soviet technological superiority. A documentary about the Space Race, and the myths and realities of the first manmade Earth satellite.
On 4 October 1957, the Soviet Union opened the door to a new era: Sputnik 1, a metal sphere 58 cm in diameter and weighing 83 kg hurtled around the globe at cosmic speed. It was a sensation. US President Eisenhower struggled to project calm, continuing to play golf and stating that he was not frightened in the least by the little metal ball in space. But the Sputnik hype had already got out of hand. How were nations to deal with the historic event? For years the Soviet Union had developed its rocket science in secret and let the Americans believe that they were leading in the race into the cosmos. Before Sputnik, many in the West had viewed the Soviet Union as a developing country, economically and scientifically backward. And now it was soaring into space? Inconceivable! The Soviets suddenly seemed to be taking the technological lead. In the West, the mood fluctuated between panic, fascination and disillusionment. The Sputnik Shock is a film about winners and losers, about the background to and secrets of the first expedition into space. And it tells the story of the man who made Sputnik possible: Chief Designer Sergei Korolev. The world only learned his name after his death, when his ashes were interred with state honors in the Kremlin wall in 1965. Attempts to nominate him for a Nobel Prize had been blocked by the secretive leaders in the Kremlin

The international crime-fighting organization Interpol and its agents are the stuff of legend. Nearly 200 countries belong to the 'international super-police' agency - but it’s funding does not cover its ambitious projects. That is why it has entered collaborating with corporations, shady groups embroiled and controversial states, something hitherto unthinkable. Is Interpol losing its integrity.
So far, the media has rarely been able to get a look behind the scenes at Interpol. The forerunner of the present organization was founded nearly a century ago to strengthen cooperation between national police authorities. With increasing globalization and the associated rise in international organized crime, the challenges for the agency, which now has 192 member-states, have also grown. When Ronald Noble, an American, became Secretary General of Interpol in 2000, the world's largest police organization underwent a dramatic turnaround. Noble's dream was to create an 'international super-police'. To achieve that goal, Interpol entered into previously unimaginable cooperation agreements with large corporations such as Philip Morris International and Sanofi, as well as organizations suspected of corruption such as FIFA. Interpol has been criticized for disregarding serious conflicts of interest arising from the potential influence of private donors on investigations. At the same time, some controversial countries began to fund the world police. In March 2017, for example, the United Arab Emirates gave Interpol 50 million euros - as much as contributions from all the other member states put together. But surely such a grant from a single country raises questions about the independence of the recipient. What alliances is Interpol prepared to enter into in order to expand? Is it possible to finance policing through private donations without compromising integrity and accountability? Is this the first step toward a new world order in which collaboration between police authorities and large international companies is seen as normal?

The temples at Khajuraho in Central India continue to shock or confuse many visitors even today. The exterior walls feature more than 2000 sculptures of deities and other celestial beings, dancers and mythical creatures. But what the temples are perhaps most famous for is their erotic sculptures, known as maithunas, designed to glorify the gods.
In a burst of creative energy, the sculptors produced an exuberant glorification of life, depicting an opulent, sensual and joyous encounter between the divine and the profane worlds. Their use of Kaimur sandstone allowed them to depict the most intricate details. But it is important to interpret the images correctly in the context of Hindu mythology. The acts of lovemaking depicted are seen not just as the union of man and woman but above all the act of divine procreation through which the world was created. There were originally 85 temples, all built over 1000 years ago. 25 have survived to this day. Each temple was built according to fixed rules and based on the proportions of the human body
