- StarsManfred LehmannTen weeks at sea - 7454 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean, through umpteen climatic zones; in cramped conditions onboard a nutshell exposed to sun, wind and high seas; with hard work, meagre rations, but the spectacle of a starry night sky: this is a journey into the past. In the autumn of 2004, a vintage sailing vessel travelled from Bremerhaven to New York with 19 passengers, 18 crew onboard and a TV-team. This documentary series is about how a group of people, who are accustomed to a modern standard of life, adapt to the far harder conditions their ancestors were exposed to in the 1850s. How do they do? Does their spirit of adventure triumph over the frustration of having to subsist on dried meat and rusk for six long weeks? What does it feel like to fight against fear, chapped and bleeding hands and seasickness? The conditions onboard the vessel emulate the historical conditions exactly, from the clothing of passengers and crew to equipment, food and accommodation available 150 years ago. "Setting Sail to the New World" tells the story of all the European emigrants who have made this journey over the centuries. Many millions tried to escape poverty, war, political oppression and religious intolerance in search of a better, brighter future. But this series does not simply tells us about history - it invites us to relive history.

- DirectorSimon StadlerRemember the culture clash in THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY? This time it's real. One of the most ancient cultures on our planet is undergoing a major change. The Ju/Hoansi Bushmen in Namibia are not allowed to hunt anymore and need to converge with our so called "civilized" lifestyle. For the first time the Ju/Hoansi Bushmen travel through the Kalahari and then right into the heart of Europe. What starts as a look at their fascinating culture becomes an even more fascinating look at our Western lifestyle. A warm and humorous reflection of our habits through the eyes of people who are about to give up their million year old traditions.

- DirectorMarten PersielStarsDavid NathanAnneke SchwabeBill ClintonThis Ain't California is a celebration of the lust for life, a contemporary documentary trip into the world of roller boarding in the German Democratic Republic. A coming-of-age tale of three teenagers and their passionate love for a sport on the crumbling tarmac of the streets in the German Democratic Republic, which was considered very ill-fitting. The punk fairy tale is a story of the subversive powers of fun in that part of Germany, which had lost touch with its citizens. The film follows its three heroes from their childhood in the seventies through their teenage rebellion in the eighties, ending in the last summer of their life in the German Democratic Republic in 1989, when their life changed forever, and follows them to 2011.
