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.

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?

Many people will never know what it means to gaze at a starry sky. In Europe, Spain is one of the best places for star-gazing. In parts of the country, the night sky has become a huge draw for astronomers and tourists alike.
