- When Warren Jeffs rose to Prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, he took control of a religion with a history of polygamous and underage marriage. In a short time, Warren managed to expand these practices and the power of his position in unprecedented ways. He bridged the gap between sister wives and ecclesiastical rape, befuddling the moral compass of his entire congregation. The film examines Warren Jeffs' life and shows how he became a worshiped and adored Prophet. Warren has a devout following numbering in the tens of thousands, many of whom would give their life at any moment with just one word from the Prophet. Despite a trail of abuse and ruined lives, Warren has maintained his grip on power.

- Der Dokumentarfilm porträtiert die für Europa so wichtige Partnerschaft zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich, die in den letzten Jahren immer wieder durch Krisen vor große Herausforderungen gestellt wurde. Die russische Invasion der Ukraine stellt die Partnerschaft nun erneut auf die Probe. Ist sie noch in der Lage, ihrer Führungsrolle in der Europäischen Union gerecht zu werden? Am 22. Januar 1963 wird der Élysée-Vertrag zwischen Frankreich und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland vom französischen Staatspräsidenten Charles de Gaulle und Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer unterzeichnet. Dieser Freundschaftsvertrag zwischen den beiden ehemals verfeindeten Nachbarn bildet in den folgenden Jahrzehnten das Fundament für die bis zum Brexit immer grösser werdende Europäische Union. 60 Jahre später wird das deutsch-französische Verhältnis durch die Invasion Russlands in der Ukraine in ungeahntem Maße auf die Probe gestellt. Angesichts des Ausbruchs eines bewaffneten Konflikts im Herzen Europas muss sich die deutsch-französische Freundschaft neu erfinden, und trotz unterschiedlicher Ansätze in der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik, auf dem Energiesektor oder bei Haushaltsfragen einen gemeinsamen Weg finden. Der Dokumentarfilm "Deutschland - Frankreich: Beziehungsstatus ungeklärt" beleuchtet die Herausforderungen, die in den letzten Jahren die Beziehung zwischen den beiden Staaten immer wieder belastet haben und befasst sich mit dem neuen deutsch-französischen Modus vivendi. Auf der Grundlage von Archivmaterial, Interviews mit Spitzenpolitikern und Einblicken in den Alltag der deutsch-französischen Partnerschaft zeichnet die Dokumentation das Porträt der wichtigsten politischen Partnerschaft in Europa. Andere EU-Mitgliedstaaten, vor allem in Osteuropa, stellen den deutsch-französischen Führungsanspruch für Europa immer häufiger in Frage. Ist der sogenannte deutsch-französische Motor in Zukunft noch in der Lage, der Führungsrolle in Europa gerecht zu werden?

- Since the Islamic Revolution and the hostage-taking of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979, Iran has been living under economic sanctions whose intensity varies according to the confrontational policies of the two countries. In 2015, the Vienna Agreement, signed by the Islamic Republic, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and Russia, generated an unprecedented wave of hope: Iran renounced acquiring nuclear weapons in exchange for the partial lifting of the embargo. Less than three years later, in May 2018, the Trump administration announced its unilateral withdrawal from the agreement and the reinstatement of sanctions, which had been tightened over the months. Cornered, Iran broke away from its commitments to force its partners to react.
