Everyone is talking about fascia, the hidden connective tissue that holds the inside of our body together. What is the real role of this whole-body network? Is it a starting point for new therapies and cures -for one of the world's most widespread disorders, back pain, for example? This documentary presents the latest findings by international researchers and provides some surprising insights.
For a long time, the fascia was viewed as an insignificant sheathing membrane that was ignored by surgeons and excised by anatomists. Today we know that this connective tissue envelops the human body like a second skin and weaves around all its internal organs, including the blood vessels and the brain. The fascia has even been described as a gigantic pain-related organ in its own right. Everyone seems to be talking about this mysterious fabric. Fascia - hype or a source of groundbreaking findings and new forms of therapy? Renowned researchers all over the world are addressing this question. In Padua, Italy, Carla Stecco has revolutionized the world of anatomy with her "Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System.” She dissects the dorsal fascia, which is seen by some as the origin of chronic back pain. American fascia pioneer Thomas Myers, author of "Anatomy Trains,” provides insights into the huge whole-body network that stabilizes and maintains structural integrity. Robert Schleip, a leading German researcher, shows the effect that too little movement can have on the highly sensitive fascial tissue. And researcher Helene Langevin in Boston demonstrates the role of fascia in the ancient healing art of acupuncture. All these scientists have come to the conclusion that this fibrous connective tissue is not only the origin of pain and disorders, but also a starting point for new approaches to healing.

Free of genetic disorders, with the desired gender and eye color - the bespoke baby is already a reality. In vitro fertilization and the potential creation of artificial egg and sperm cells are posing a fundamental challenge to human reproduction - and calling the real worth of human beings into question. What are the moral, ethical and legal ramifications?
In 1978 the world was shocked by the birth of Louise Brown, the first test-tube baby. Four decades later, the once controversial technique of in vitro fertilization has long become normality. But genetic science has made so many advances in recent years that there are now many more ways of tweaking nature: genetic health, gender, eye color - the bespoke baby is no far-off futuristic vision. Would-be parents from all over the world can travel to the United States, where - for a suitable fee - they can order their dream child. But it's not only in America that technological progress seems to be unstoppable. In 2015, the British parliament gave the green light to what's called three-parent babies. This technique replaces genetic material from mothers with defective mitochondrial DNA with DNA from a donor. And the discovery of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has opened up hitherto unthinkable possibilities; with this technology the genes of an embryo can be altered before it is implanted in the mother's womb. This may be reminiscent of science fiction films like "Gattaca," but it was actually carried out on a human embryo in 2016. These revolutionary new techniques raise hopes of correcting genetic defects and overcoming hereditary disorders. But they also raise uncomfortable questions: What makes a human being worthy of life? What does it mean - morally, ethically and legally - when ever more efficient methods bring us closer to eugenics? This highly profitable side of the baby business in a growing global market shows that answers to these questions need to be found - and fast

In the heart of Mali, along the banks of the Niger, lies the old trading city Djenné. Its old town is famous for its market and Great Mosque. Before the Moroccan invasion in 1591, Djenné had become prosperous as a center of trade in slaves, gold and ivory.
When the city sultan converted to Islam in the 13th century, he gave his palace to his fellow believers to worship Allah. Today’s mosque was built on the same spot in 1909 and modeled on the original palace. The largest clay structure in the Sahel, it has room for some 3000 worshippers. The wooden beams projecting from the façade at regular intervals are not merely decorative but serve a practical purpose. When the rainy season softens and washes away the clay of the walls, building workers use the beams as ladders and handholds and as built-in scaffolding

The civil war in Guatemala, which lasted from 1960 to 1996, resulted in the death or disappearance of more than 200,000 people. In 2012, a group of families of the victims took the state of Guatemala to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights about it - and won.
Among the reparations imposed on the Guatemalan government was a stipulation that it should finance the production of a film about the victims. "Guatemala: Against Forgetting” is no ordinary documentary film, because its genesis is closely intertwined with the violence it describes: the horrors of the Guatemalan civil war which claimed more than 200,000 lives. For the first time a group made up of families of the victims succeeded in having a state found guilty in a court of law. Even though only 26 of the 45,000 crimes could be prosecuted, the plaintiffs still won their case. Among the various forms of reparations was the production of a documentary film to be financed by the state, but the state has refused to accept the court’s judgement down to this day.
In the end the families took matters into their own hands. And this is their film. They joined director Claudio Zulian and a group of politically active artists in an intense debate about how the horrors of a civil war which lasted for 36 years should be portrayed, even though few traces of it remain. The question was: should the violence be recorded on film for future generations and, if so, in what form and to what degree? "Guatemala: Against Forgetting” is an impressive and painful documentary film that probes the boundaries between dealing with the past, remembrance, and justice.

Valletta was the first modern city to be designed entirely on the drawing board. The foundation stone was laid on 28 March 1566 by Jean de la Valette, the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John. The film tells the story of this city, which is inextricably linked with the history of the Order
In 1530, the island was granted to the knights as a fief by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Only 35 years later, Ottoman Turks laid siege to the island. But in spite of the overwhelming strength of the attackers, the Christian knights managed to hold on to Malta and force the Turks to withdraw. Out of sheer gratitude to the "saviors of the Christian West," Pope Pius IV helped them to secure the cliffs, and the Knights’ Grandmaster Valette laid the foundation stone for the city that was to be named after him in March 1566. Over the decades, the knights built a gigantic fortress that was to deter would-be attackers for hundreds of years. The film tells the story of Valletta, the first city of the modern age, designed entirely on the drawing board
