DOKU-REIHE ZUR US-WAHL AUF ARTE

In der Wahlnacht lief auf arte meine Episode unserer Doku-Reihe ‚Aus der Traum? Die Amerikaner im Wahljahr‘. In insgesamt fünf Folgen á 52 min haben wir spannende Menschen in den USA durch dieses mehr als verrückte Jahr begleitet – von der Trump-Influencerin bis zum evangelikalen Pastor. Meine Kollegen Jan Tenhaven und Jens Strohschnieder haben Episode 1 – 4 gemacht, ich durfte mir die beiden letzten Folge vornehmen. Ein tolles Projekt

DOCUMENTARY-SERIES ABOUT US-ELECTION

What a ride! For the Franco-German TV channel ARTE we documented the journey through 2020 of several unique US-characters in our documentary series ‚Aus der Traum: Die Amerikaner im Wahljahr‘. We tell their stories in 5 episodes, each of them is a 52 min long movie. My colleagues Jan Tenhaven and Jens Strohschnieder worked on Ep 1-4, and I had the chance to conclude the story (for now…) with my

FILMED FOR BBC REEL IN GERMANY

For the second time I was given the opportunity to produce a 5 min video piece for BBC Reel. They discovered a great story in Germany, which I never heard of before: 15 million years ago a giant meteorite hit the area where today lies the town of „Nördlingen“. During the impact tons of micro diamonds occurred – and are now hidden in the walls and buildings of this cute

HUNTING IS A CONTROVERSIAL THING…

Why do people like to go hunt? Is it fun to kill animals or is there more reason for shooting deer, wild boar, foxes? In Germany a growing number of people is attracted to go hunting. At the same time, critics are getting louder and more radical. In order to find out about as much as possible about hunting I went to hunting school, attempting to get my own hunting

DEATH THREATS AND CORRUPTION: LAND-DEALS IN PERU

Another report for Germany’s international broadcaster DW Deutsche Welle. I was given the opportunity to visit the Amazon region in Peru in order to cover the broad consequences that the oil palm expansion brings to the people that call this land their „territorio ancestral“, the indigenous Shipibo people. We were accompanied by a group of the Peruvian arm of „Transparency International„, who try to help the most defenceless by investigating

FILMING FOR CNN'S GREAT BIG STORY

A few weeks ago I was able to do an interview with the most adventurous unicyclist you could ever imagine, a German guy named Lutz Eichholz. The interview was published in CNN’s „Great Big Story“, combined with incredible footage of the unicyclists adventures. See for yourself:

BIOGAS FROM PRISON

For Germany’s International Broadcaster DW Deutsche I recently visited Grenada. The report telling the story how small-scale biogas facilities are constructed all over the little island state – even in the national prison. These guys are slinging dung in the slammer – for the #environment. @doenino #biogas #Grenada pic.twitter.com/qsV5xK6FPm — DW | Global Ideas (@dw_globalideas) May 15, 2017 Inmates are learning how to build, use and maintain the biogas plants.

GRENADA: BIOGAS AUS DEM GEFÄNGNIS

Für die Deutsche Welle war ich in (oder auf, je nachdem) Grenada. Gefilmt habe ich hier Biogasanlagen made in Germany, die im ganzen Land installiert werden – auch im Gefängnis. Die Häftlinge selbst betreiben die Anlage und werden als Installateure ausgebildet. Das könnte ihnen helfen, nach der Entlassung eine Beschäftigung zu finden. Allerdings geht der Plan nur auf, wenn sich genügend Menschen in Grenada von der alternativen Energiequelle überzeugen lassen, und
