- For more than ten years, German automotive companies manipulated the emissions values of their vehicles and lied to suppliers, consumers and authorities worldwide.

He had pointed out discrepancies at Bosch years before the scandal broke.
- In recent years, the plastic crisis has worsened. Images of dead animals and polluted oceans go around the world. The packaging industry thinks it has a solution to the problem: recycling. "100% recyclable" is printed on more and more bottles, boxes and bags. But if recycling really is the solution, why is more virgin plastic being produced today than ever before? Could recycling really be nothing more than "greenwashing"? The world is drowning in garbage This film takes a close look at an industry that would rather hide the problem than solve it. The authors track down garbage brokers who illegally dump plastic waste abroad, industries that make money from incinerating garbage, and mafia networks that now make as much money from smuggling garbage as they do from human trafficking. The film shows how some of the world's largest consumer goods companies use recycling as an excuse to continue polluting without consequences. We all live in a world drowning in garbage and this film asks the question: who is profiting from the plastic crisis?

- Music elates, touches the soul and bypasses reason. Music is magic. But precisely this magic can turn it into an insidious weapon for music and violence belong together. The brutal power of African war dances, the ferocity of Maori Hakas, the earth-shattering roar of US sound guns blasting Metallica at Taliban hideouts the principle is always the same: Aggressive sounds demoralise the enemy and whip the allies into a frenzy. In Songs of War, director Tristan Chytroschek explores the extraordinary harmony between music and violence. Sesame Street composer, Christopher Cerf, always wanted his music to be fun and entertaining. But then he learned that his songs had been used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. He is stunned by this abuse of his work and wants to find out how this could happen. Cerf embarks on a journey to learn what makes music such a powerful stimulant. In the process, he speaks to soldiers, psychologists and prisoners tortured with his music at Guantanamo and find out how the military has been employing music as a potent weapon for hundreds of years.
- No other head of state has been in power for as long as Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, no other ruler has had such a lasting impact on our epoch. We investigate the fine balance of power between Queen Elizabeth II and her Prime Ministers in politics and all other affairs. An exciting tale of power and representation - and a nosy glance into the inner sanctum of Buckingham Palace...
- Parks are the beauty spots of our cities. They are sanctuaries for nature, people, and culture. In this five-part documentary series we explore Europe's most beautiful city parks. We travel to London, Paris, Rome, Stockholm and Munich to take a fresh new look at their urban oases. Each film is shot over the course of an entire year and merges stunning aerial photography with portraits of extraordinary people whose lives are connected to the parks.
- The pace of our society is getting faster. Many people are looking for ways to cope with increasing pressure - even with medication. New studies show that the majority of us would be willing to take performance-enhancing drugs if they were freely available. But do intelligence pills really promise a "Brave New World"? Our film embarks on a journey through the brain research laboratories of Germany, Switzerland and Australia to find out how we can improve our brain.
- We all know that flying is bad for the climate. Before Corona, according to the Flightracker website, there were almost 200,000 flights every day. Every second, an aircraft took off or landed somewhere in the world. Corona has changed all that. Never before has the entire aviation industry come to a such a standstill. It's predicted that the industry will not recover until 2022 or 2023. But does that mean that by 2022 we will again be emitting the same amount of CO2 as before? Even before the crisis we knew that flying had to become greener. Maybe Corona is our chance to rethink. How can we combine environmental protection and our need for mobility? Do we need new aircraft and new aviation fuels - or should we simply fly less? We want to find answers to these questions and ask aircraft manufacturers, scientists and transport experts about the future of aviation.

- In the last few years, the data stream flowing through the internet has turned into a tsunami: Ninety percent of the information sitting on the world's servers was created in the last two years. This total digitization opens up completely new possibilities. Suddenly, our entire lives can be modeled mathematically - and become predictable.
- The field of application of explosives is immense. In the United States, researchers are using explosives to create nanoparticles: extremely hard, heat-resistant and excellent conductors of electricity, they can be used to manufacture more efficient electronic components, with the hope of considerably reducing battery charging time. These super-materials can only be formed by the high pressure and temperatures generated during detonation. In the field of medicine, some scientists hope to soon replace syringes and needles with a dedicated gun. Because explosives are capable of releasing a considerable amount of energy in just a fraction of a second.
