ARD The First
Munich (ots)
The planned topics:
Radicalization of the climate movement?
The apocalyptists of “Last Generation” and their morals. The paradigm shift from self-actualization (earlier revolts, ’68) to self-preservation. The following questions are affected: legitimacy, understanding of democracy and morality. How radical can climate protest be? Are there limits? Where are these? Is Violence Legitimate? – “ttt” attempts to classify the current social rupture and has therefore interviewed protagonists, their critics and the masterminds of the new movements.
Ken Burns
A portrait of the most influential living documentary filmmaker. Along with Robert Flaherty (died 1951), Ken Burns is considered the most influential documentary filmmaker of all time. Why? The selection of his subjects is spectacular: Muhammad Ali, Vietnam, the Brooklyn Bridge, the American Civil War (“Civil War”). Ken Burns has established his very own narrative style, a literary, almost poetic approach, very musical, voice and sound are not just random accessories. Two of his documentaries have been nominated for an Academy Award and six of his works have been nominated for one or more Emmy Awards. He won a total of three Emmy Awards for The Civil War, for Baseball, and for Unforgivable Blackness or his latest docuseries, The US and the Holocaust, in which he accuses the US of failing the Jews. Ken Burns’ credo is: “The big mistake is that history is back down and the past is gone. History is right now, history is is, not was.”
Vera Lentz – on the road in the Andes
Vera Lentz takes in the spectacular Andean landscape at the window – just like she did more than 30 years ago. Back then – in the 90s, during the cruel civil war in Peru – she drove to the Andes in the back of a truck and got off in the province of Ayacucho. When she arrived in the village of Socos, she took black and white photos with her SLR camera, which to this day represent the memory of the horrors in Peru. Farmers and children had previously been murdered there by the Maoist guerrilla “Shining Path”. Her photos appear in Newsweek, Time and in Der Spiegel.
ARD correspondent Matthias Ebert has now gone on a search for clues with the most famous photographer of the Peruvian civil war for “ttt”. On her journey she now meets people from before. Vera’s photos of massacres and survivors, mass graves, destroyed villages and refugees help the Commission for Truth and Reconciliation to come to terms with 15 years of terror in Peru, in which 70,000 people died.
“Vandana Shiva – A life for the earth”
How did the wayward daughter of a Himalayan ranger become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? A documentary tells the remarkable life story of Gandhi eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, how she held her own against the corporate goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to fame in the food justice movement, and inspired an international crusade for change. Theatrical release on December 1, 2022.
Serious?! – silliness and enthusiasm in art
“Report obediently that I’m stupid,” was the subtitle of George Grosz, the great painter and caricaturist of the Weimar Republic, for his caricature of a soldier, in which he criticized the uniform arrogance of his time with biting humor. On the one hand very serious, on the other hand extremely funny, the entire exhibition illuminates the enthusiastic embarrassment in modern and contemporary art, which does not shy away from the silly, the unreasonably stupid. Works by around 100 artists from all over the world are exhibited here from the 16th century to the present day. In the modern age, authority falters badly. The show flirts with the humor of the catastrophe, bad taste, the camp approach, B-movie culture, science fiction and horror, but also with immaturity, idiocy, intuition and of course passion – and not too forgotten with enthusiasm. Bundeskunsthalle Bonn.
Hans Magnus Enzensberger
There has hardly ever been anyone like him. He breathed fresh air into the literature of the old Federal Republic, was an enlightener, instigator, critic – but above all one of the country’s great poets. Always with spirit and wit, pointed, always with the wit on the back of his neck, a master of small observation. An elegant conversationalist whose lightness made him float above things. Hans Magnus Enzensberger died in Munich on Thursday at the age of 93.
