- This documentary tells the forgotten stories of some of the most influential personal computer pioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the late 1960s, big mainframe computers owned by large corporations and the government were seen as tools of control. The Hippie movement and the anti-Vietnam war protests served as a hotbed for a revolutionary idea: creating an affordable home computer to be used by ordinary people as a counterbalance to Big Brother. Well, the rest is history, but what has happened to the early ideals and the initial ethos of free sharing? As one of the visionaries puts it: "It's true that what I helped to create is today's establishment. That's what I was trying to get rid of: the establishment."

- In 2020 the USA experienced a multiple catastrophe: No other country in the world was so badly affected by the corona virus pandemic, the economic slump was dramatic, the rise in unemployment it was also, a rift was running through society. On the streets there were protests of both camps with violent riots, authoritarian-fascist traits were evident in the actions of the leader of the nation. And all in the middle of the election year, in which the narcissistic president was vehemently fighting for his re-election. From the start of his presidency, Donald Trump had divided American society, he had incited individual sections of the population against one another, stired up racism, hatred, xenophobia and prejudice, insulted competitors and affronted critical journalists as enemies of the people. The documentary shows how this could happen and what role the targeted disinformation of certain parts of the population through manipulative media plays.
- Neo-fascists are chanting their slogans louder and louder in the squares and streets of Italy from north to south. The electoral victory of politician Giorgia Meloni of the right-wing Fratelli d'Italia party, whose flag bears the flame symbol in honor of Benito Mussolini, and her post-fascist government have given them a boost. A hundred years after the Duce seized power, the word fascist is becoming socially acceptable again. Among many young people in Italy, being far right is considered cool. The identitarian movement "Fortress Europe" attracts them in droves. Fascism nostalgists make pilgrimages to Mussolini's tomb and hold rallies. Right-wing rock concerts but also intellectual "meetings for tradition and identity" form the ideology. A constant support is the ultra-fan scene of the football clubs. The documentary illuminates the facets of neo-fascism in Italy, lets activists have their say, but also a journalist who has been writing about the neo-fascist scene for 20 years.
- "The prize shall be awarded to the persons who rendered the greatest service to mankind in the previous year", instructed the Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in his will. And the committee that carries out Nobel's last will every year has, in most cases, shown an unfailing judgement. Occasionally, however, the decisions of the committee have also been very controversial. The pacifist Mahatma Gandhi, for instance, never received a Nobel Peace Prize. On the other hand, Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho were honored, though they had been embittered enemies in the Vietnam war for a long time. The history of the Nobel Peace Prize reflects in a unique way the values of the 20th century. The film includes interviews with Shimon Peres, Lech Walesa, Ruth Brandt, Barbara Lochbihler from Amnesty International, David Trimble, John Hume, Dalai Lama, Rigoberta Menchú and Jose Ramos-Horta.
