On the bonus DVD for his album "Ungerächte Welt", PTK reviews the past years by guiding the viewer through various stages of his biography. In conversation one learns how formative it was for him and is to grow up and live in Berlin Kreuzberg, which foundations were laid for his views already in the school time and why he even deals in his music with topics such as gentrification or refugee policy. In doing so, he commits different locations with a personal connection and also lets people from his circle of friends have their say, such as other members of the band project Antinational Embassy, his label mate Herzog and the Anti Turista Squad. With a view to the future, this DVD complements its content and focuses on its further work: activism.

There are thousands of them. Children. Aged between nine and sixteen. They come to Europe from the middle East and Africa, and now they are on the move across our continent – alone, with no adults to accompany them. A blot on European immigration policy. Of all people, minors whose young age should guarantee them special protection and speedy integration into the new society, slip effortlessly through the net of the inadequate security afforded by European asylum procedures, escape to wherever they can, and are easy prey for criminals both from their own home countries and from Europe. Since the beginning of 2014 at least two hundred thousand unaccompanied child migrants have managed to cross Europe's borders. But according to the authorities, at least ten thousand of them have simply vanished en route. These are children, and one estimate of unreported cases puts the figure at twice or even three times that. Who are these children, and how did they manage to make themselves invisible?

On December 21, 2017, the writer Heinrich Böll would have turned 100. In the Federal Republic, Böll, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972, was tremendously present and well-known. His criticism of media hectoring, his commitment to peace and his solidarity with the weaker made him, the writer, a kind of moral authority. Whoever wants to get to know him anew today - 33 years after his death - discovers a personality with amazingly modern, timelessly topical sides, with themes and concerns that today, far more than 30 years after his death, have a completely new meaning again: Anti-fascism, pacifism, the fight against media agitation, personal freedom, solidarity and comprehensive humanity. In Tina Srowig's documentary, Böll's son René, his publisher Reinhold Neven DuMont and friends and companions recall important stages, great successes, turbulent conflicts and very human, moving and amusing moments in the writer's life.

A collage of associations evoked by finds. One’s family, three different Germanys including their insidious subchapters, the taste of life. The mother used to be a passionate Chinese checkers player. On the one hand. On the other she was a tailor and fashion designer in the GDR. Her journeyman’s piece: a showpiece with piping, cording, tabs and embroidery around the neckline. One has to love this film, if only for the tender re-animation of these words we presumed obsolete. And for everything else!

The film tells the story of events related to the migration policy of Angela Merkel - events taking place in Germany since 2015. For a year and a half, the director of the film took part in all the demonstrations against Merkel's policies. From the author: "I have lived in Germany for 14 years, and all this time it seemed to me that I lived in one of the most democratic countries in the world. But since September 2015, exactly from the moment when our dear Frau Merkel opened the borders and announced that Germany is ready to accept refugees from Syria, I realized that this is not the case. One of the safest countries in the world is gradually turning into the territory of madness... And there can be no other way where citizens have been taught for decades to live with a sense of guilt for the crimes of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. So Germany is now destroying itself. To please people with an alien culture who will never become part of German society."
