Sinkendes Land

Fascinatingly, moors are both water and land. They are home to rare plants, special animals, and enormous amounts of carbon. However, these unique ecosystems are now rarely found in Germany. For economic reasons, 95 percent of them have been drained, posing a massive threat to our climate. Drainage turns climate protectors into climate killers, emitting huge amounts of carbon dioxide every year. In this film, researchers, farmers, and politicians have their say. How can these areas be successfully renaturalized? It won't be easy.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
