With its hula dancers, cool surfer dudes and white, sandy beaches: Hawaii is the place to go. Millions of tourists visit the archipelago in search of South Pacific mystique and ‘Aloha’ - the breath of life. Aloha stands for love, respect and friendship.
This documentary takes you to lava deserts on the Big Island, to the surfers on the shores of Maui, the rainforest in Kauai and Honolulu’s legendary Waikiki Beach.
The true spirit of Hawaii - many people on the islands live their own version of it. David for example, a self-styled Waikiki Beach Boy for 30 years: Every morning, shortly after six AM, you can meet him at Honolulu’s legendary beach, even if it has mutated into an amusement strip crammed with resort hotels. "My greatest love is and remains this beach." Sig Zane can also tell us how much Hawaii has been changed by tourism: The wiry 65-year-old lives on the largest of the Hawaiian islands, Big Island. In the 1970s Zane began to make traditional Hawaiian shirts, and found a niche in the market. The Hawaiian shirt became a hit, but then degenerated into a cheap touristic parody made of polyester. But Zane continues to sew the shirts using traditional fabrics and patterns. He is now a cult figure on the island; his shirts have become coveted classics that represent the true spirit of Hawaii. Ocean Ramsey, a 30-year-old marine biologist, also lives the spirit of Hawaii. Ramsey has projects all over the world - but most of all she loves the north of O'ahu. Here she dives with great white sharks entirely without protection, dedicating her life to these "most misunderstood animals" and to protecting the world's oceans. In the small village of Waimanalo, Bumpy Kanahele and his nephew Brandon fight for a Hawaii they want to see return to its origins. "We don't want to be compulsory Americans," they say and even live in their community according to their own Hawaiian constitution.

The New Silk Road is one of the most ambitious undertakings by far to be put forward by the Chinese president Xi Jinping. The goal of this gigantic project is the construction of a transport link between Asia and Europe: 10,000 kilometers of road, a railway freight line and a shipping route are to run from western China to Europe via Kazakhstan, the Urals and Moscow.
Since the start of the 21st century China has become the most important export nation on the global stage. But in light of increasing tensions in the South China Sea and the threat from North Korea, it’s becoming more and more important for China to open up alternative trade routes. As a result the country has turned its gaze westward, to central Asia with its many resources and to Europe, which is still its most important trading partner. The New Silk Road is intended to connect China to Europe via Kazakhstan and Russia over a distance of 10,000 kilometers. The construction of the road with the parallel railway line has already begun in Chongqing, a megacity in the country’s interior that’s just one example of the economic boom of the past thirty years. The products made here will, it’s hoped, reach European customers effortlessly in a few years’ time. But it’s not just China’s exporters who hope to benefit from this infrastructure project. Rural regions in the west of the country should also see a boost. There’s the province of Xinjiang for example, which has seen little of the economic growth of recent years. But China’s ambitions go beyond its national borders. The planned New Silk Road runs past rich oil fields as it goes through Kazakhstan. The extraction of oil is to be ramped up, thereby securing China’s growing need for energy. By extending the route all the way to the edge of the Urals, Beijing can get all the way to Russia. But it’s not certain whether the former big brother will welcome the expansion of China’s sphere of influence all the way to central Asia and Europe. In the form of a geopolitical road movie, this documentary looks at the far-reaching shifts in the Eurasian power balance. Sooner or later the Europeans will have to take a stance on China’s new ‘soft imperialism’

Visiting the oldest quarter of Fez, you feel like you’re transported back into the stories of One Thousand and One Nights. Behind the Blue Gate lies a whole different world, with its own colors and scents. In the narrow labyrinthine alleyways, strangers are always in danger of losing their way.
Handicrafts and trade made Fez a flourishing city, although the wealth remained largely hidden behind modest facades. With its many mosques and Quran schools, Fez remains Morocco's cultural and spiritual capital. A white-bearded storyteller in burnoose and kaftan serves as our tour guide, leading us to places of religious significance and palaces with inconceivable luxury. Our tour takes us through the narrow alleyways of the old quarter and the place where the prosperity first originated: the stinking, noisy tanners' district.

According to one United Nation’s estimate, 1.5 million people have already fled Venezuela in hopes of escaping violence, poverty and hunger. Despite possessing some of world’s largest oil reserves, corruption and cronyism have plunged the country into economic ruin. Much of the blame lies with former socialist president Hugo Chavez and his successor Nicolás Maduro.

Sapphire mines have been springing up across the east of Madagascar - most of them illegal. The subsequent stripping of huge areas of forestland poses a threat to the habitat of lemurs. There appears to be no end in sight to this ruthless overexploitation. The quality of Madagascar’s sapphires is unparalleled, and only Brazil has comparable resources.
