Der lange Weg ans Licht

Edeltraut Hertel - a midwife caught between two worlds. She has been working as a midwife in a small village near Chemnitz for almost 20 years, supporting expectant mothers before, during and after the birth of their offspring. However, working as a midwife brings with it social problems such as a decline in birth rates and migration from the provinces. Competition for babies between birthing centers has become fierce, particularly in financial terms. Obstetrics in Tanzania, Africa, Edeltraud's second place of work, is completely different. Here, the midwife not only delivers babies, she also trains successors, carries out educational and development work and struggles with the country's cultural and social problems.

The Invisible Frame

In 1988, Cynthia Beatt and the young Tilda Swinton embarked on a filmic journey along the Berlin Wall into little-known territory. The film is now an unusual document. 21 years later, in June 2009, Beatt & Swinton re-traced the line of the Wall that once isolated West Berlin. This film depicts this poetic passage through varied landscapes, this time on both sides of the former Wall.

Spuren - Die Opfer des NSU

Between September 2000 and April 2007, eight men with Turkish roots, a man of Greek descent and a German policewoman were murdered. The investigations were initially carried out exclusively in the vicinity of the non-German victims suspected of drug trafficking and organized crime. The families of the murdered were thus victims again, this time of prejudicial stigmatization. After a failed bank robbery, the trail finally led to the right-wing extremist terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU). After the suicide of the two main perpetrators, the trial against the only survivor of the NSU trio, Beate Zschäpe, and four alleged helpers and supporters began in 2013 and ended in 2018.
