This, too, is syria, a country at war. Yet the world rarely gets to see images like these. Syrian filmmakers have decided to show us what daily life is like there. These are the last pictures cameraman Bassel Shehade ever shot. His camera was still running as he tried to cross a street in homs in a hail of bullets. Shehade never made it to the other side. Abounaddara a syrian film collective has turned the footage into a harrowing document of life in syria, dedicatetoto shehades murderers. [gunshots] the soldidiers who kill us a our brothers. The frontlines in syria a are extremelely complicated. D. Its not t simply a case e of or evil. Some soldiers fight for r the revolution, others are afraid. Some of those fighting f for the regimeme have no other choice. Others are opppportunists. Ththeres a bit of everyththing. We wanant to show through our films that you can also hahave a dialogue with the enemy. S isfor the last five years, abounaddddara has uploaded a sht film onto ththeir website eveve frididay. Thats s over 400 films so far the syria we never see. The films document the absbsurdy of everyryday life in wartime, e dramas and comedies that the memedia never shows. Were all against the regime. So why are they doing this to each other . In the film douma tartous, footage of two different massacres is cut together. One is an attack carried out by soldiers loyal to bashir al assad, the other by isis. The pictures are the same. Its the kind of footage we see daily in the media. Abounaddara calls it war porn. What you see in the news internationally is a catastrophe. A grave crime is being commited against humanity and is being shown live on television in rerl time. These images humiliate the peoplele in syria. A. All you see is wouounded, mutilated or dead peopople. But t in reality, people there e trying to get on with their lives, theyre tryrying to put resistance and retain their dignity. Pictures are the collectives weapon of choice. The films they make portray all sides of everyday life in syria war, torture and hunger, as well as regime propaganda always without comment. The Group Already existed before the revolution began in 2011. Back then, their films also showed daytoday life in syria. But now,w, suddenly, the day to day is highlhly political. Once there was even an n article in t the regimes leading nenewspaper which praiaised ouok as hononorable. Thatats extly y wh we wantnt to make contradictory, ambiguous films that confuse the viewer and force them to ask questions. Our enemy isis not bashar al asd our enemy is the banalisation of evil. The filmmakers have managed to create tiny masterpieces of absurdist theatre inin their weekly videos like here, when two men try to fix a door in their home which is completely useless because the entire house has justst been destroyed in an attack. Dont put it in like that. Wait a minute. Push it towards you a bit. Thats right. Youre the boss, abu stef. Is that g good . What do you think . Whats most difficult is depicting the trauma people experienence. As filmmakers wre in a completely schizophrhrenic situation like everyone else. Weve all had it up to here. But we carry on. Thats why we feel obligated to make films. To tell stories that show that life is still possibible. That people still have a future. The abounaddara film collective prproduces work from the frontline, at the risk of their own lives. They show us the insanity of the situtuation in syriaia right no weve never seen it before every friday. Violence against dissidents in the name of religion has become part of everyday life in bangladesh too. Hit lists have been circulating since 2013 and, until recently, the primary targets were atheist bloggers and homosexual activists. Now, though, theyve been joined by foreigners and religious minorities. Over the past three years, 48 people have been brutally murdered in this way in bangladesh. Arif jejebtik lives confinedo his own home, because he writes and asks kirill questions. Critical questions. He blogs about terrorism. He wants to know why young people become assassins, and why they do so in the name of islam. The word islam means s peace. There e are no o options for kig people in this religion. Arif f jebtik is s a muslim, because he rejects religious violence, hes on a death list. He no longer leaves his house. I used to go jogging outside and going to the theatre. I used to drop off my kids at school. And now im not scared but we are cautious. We are trying to be alivive for myself, my country and my family. But we dont know how long wewe can do that. Dhaka i is loud. Outside, its pulsating. But bloggers, artists and intellectuals can often no longer take part in that life. What if a murderer is lurking on a motorcycle . Free sfirts must hide behind walls and windows. Theyre prey to suspicions, and pay for security guards. 160 Million People live in bangladesh. Islam is the state religion. Not long ago, young people began to dream of a modern and open country. That didnt appeal to islamists. They put pressure on the government, which tightened legislation and shut down blogs. That only served to encourage those who advocate a radicalist form of islam. Just for liking a Facebook Post in bangladadesh you can be arrested. And it is happening. So there is pressure from the government. And the other side is, just for liking a Facebook Status you mighght be killed totomorrow. P people are massacred, a ane perpetrators are o only halfheartedly pureded. Time and agagain the terroririst organisations s Islamic State a alal qaeda claim r responsibili for the murders. The government denies that, saying the perpetrators come from bangladesh itself. Its hard to say which is true. In dhaka we visit a large mosque with a quran school run by the islamic unity front, a party thats accused of at least sympathising with extremists. Our welcome is friendly. They tell us the murders are contrary to islam. But they also say they dont understand what all the fuss is about. I dont know why these bloggers are sitting at home in fear. I have no idea what theyve done wrong, how theyve violated our constitution or how theyve insulted our religion. But they should recognise that and apologise. Then they can lead normal lives. Its long been more than just bloggers and intellectuals who are being murdered. People are killed because they have different faiths. Christians and hindus, for instance. The fear is palpable in the largest hindu temple. Rana das gupta is sick of the debate about whos behind this wave of violence. He wants the government to finally act decisively. It is very unimportant to say whether there is any assistance of i. S. , the taliban or al qaeda. But t it is true the followe of al qaeda, the followers of i. S. , the followers of the taliban they are doing all these nuisance acts. Arif jebtik, the blogger, wants to be defiant and fearless. He does occasionally ask himself if it wouldnt be better to keep quiet but then the terrorists would have won. Millions of people around the world suffer from malnutrition. They dont eat a balanced diet and as a result dont get enough vitamins and minerals. Sometimes the problem is a lack of awareness. Sometimes its because only very few foods are available, such as rice. Many babies are born undernourished because their mothers dont get the nutrients they need. The first two years of a childs life are key, and early nutritional problems can cause Lifelong Health issues. It would cost 3. 3 billion euros to provide the worlds malnourished babies and toddlers with the nutrients they need. To put that in perspective in europe alone, 10 billion euros is spent every year just on ice cream. Whether men, women or children everyone in the village of hoyka in laos is glued to the tv in the evening when my happy family is broadcast. Its a soap opepera about a typical laotian family in a typical laotian village. Hello, noy smellsls good here. What have you been cooking . Im cooking a moringa soup. Its the best thing for mothers like you andnd me. My happy family isnt just a television series. Its educational. And it revolves around nutrition. Every sececond child in laoss stunted. Thatat means the children are t short for their age, and also their Mental Development is impaired. Then these childldren are sick more often, have low learning outcomes, reduced lifetime earnings, and are stuck in a cycle of poverty. Especially in remote areas, people often suffer from anemia or iron deficiency. 80 of meals in laos consist of rice. Once in a while a few animal proteins are added. Rich in calories, but poor in vitamins and minerals. With our series, weve found a way toto present proroper nutri to people in a way theyll remember. And in a way theyll want to copy. That works much better than with a lecture or illustrations. Farmer boun phanonayak is out the very n next day collecting edlele wild herbrbs. The e most recent t episode of happy family dealt with an indigenous typype of fern,n, pak khkhut. Its green n fron are d delious anand prevent irir deficiency. Y. In the future, i intend to try out everything ive seen. Now i already know about an edible fern, asian spinach and chinese cabbage, and how to make a healthy soup from them. Before the series, i had no idea that children need their own food. Now i cook different dishes for my children and the grownups. The young mother cooks the ferns shes collected with Sweet Potatoes and fish to make a thick soup for her youngest children. Theres not enough fish for everyone but the adults dont have to go without proteins either. Theyve been given seeds by the International Fund for agricultural development, and theyre now growing a wide range ofof beans. Legugumes are a vitaminrich alternative to meat and fish. Boun phanonayak is proud of her new culinary skills and the family likes what she cooks. Theyre all eagerly awaiting the next episode of my happy family. After all, a good soapap opera like good food once you start, you just cant stop. And now to our global ideas series. We meet people dedicated to protecting our natural world. This time were in colombia. Our repoporter, michael wetzele visited the capital, bogota. There, fresh water comes from the andean mountains, along nearly 200 different streams and waterways. But pollution from rubbish, sewage and industrial waste is posing a serious problem, one that needs to be solved. But t how . Bosque calderon tejada is a small barrio on the eastern edge ofof bogota, thats nevever befe made sucuch positive headlines. But now something unusual is going on here. Clean water flows into this ravine, with no trash lying around, and where nature can come into its own again. Nothing special . It is if you know how the ravine used to look. Sofia lopez grew up here. It was a rubbish dump. Car tires were lying around, leftover food, anything no one wanted. Trash, plastic and unfortunately even corpses it wasnt just a an ugly p plact also a place full of violence. Crime and f filth have now given way to natural beauty. Until recently the barrios here on the hills werent very different from other underprivileged districts in bogota. There were hardly any jobs and few prosospects. Instead, drugs and gangs. Conservation International Wanted to change that with an environmental project. Sociologist Octavio Rodriguez is a member of the organisation. He, sofia lopez and many others worked hard to make the ravine look the way it does now. 53 cubic metres of rubbish had to be removed. 8,500 trees were planted, donated by the botanical garden. But it all would have pointless if the people who live here had been neglected. Take these maintain men, for example. Many of them are former criminals. Edwin tapasco parra served six years in prison for drug trafficking. Now he and others from the neighbourhood are employed to maintain the ravine. They keep the brooks clean, cut the grass and take care of the trees. On other days they learn about plants and the environment. And they earn a little money doing so. Ultimately they all have obligations. Edwin has seven children to court support. Some people decide to beg on buses or trains. Others make it even easier for themselves, pick up a weapon and rob people. This programme helps us a lot and keeps us from doing that. Most of us used to be troublemakers ourselves. Tourists and visitors have now returned to the area to marvel at the ravine, the sound of Rushing Water instead ofof traffic, and the scent of flowers instead of decay. Wildlife is flourishing. The project began in 2011, and seems to be having a positive effect on the local crime rate. For a month and a half, not one crime has been registered here. The people monitor themselves. They love their barrio again and now want to have control of it and over the ravine. Thats very important. Danilo ochoa is one of the people who wanted to reclaim his life and the environment. Long ago, he decided there was more to life than gangs and drugs. Since then hes bebeen a street artist. Hes a role model for many people, and also a poster boy for the environmental project. By evening, his mural is finished. One of his favrite subjejects is water. Its s clear what links us a water. I also love taking pictures of frogs and toads. I paint them over and over. And i have a ahibians tatattooe on my arm. Recently, danilo ochoa opened his own gallery in the middle of the barrio. He wants to be an inspiration to many teenagers. He wants to communicate his experiences to others, so they can find their own potential creativity and seek out new paths in life. 300 teenagers worked with us for a while. Maybe theyre doing something very different now. Maybe theyre no longer interested in music, painting or art. But this has given them some input to take away for themselves. Sofia lopez and Octavio Rodriguez are now on their way uphill. After ththey pass the houses, theyll reach a nature research. Its important for the city, but has long been under threat from urban sprawl and population growth. The two hope that when respect for nature increases, this paradise will again have a chance for survival. The first indications are there some plants are already reclaiming their space. But in two years, Conservation International will withdraw from the project completely. What will happen then . This project is designed to perpetuate itself. The people have to carry it on themselves. Thats how its planned. Otherwise it would be a project that worked only from the top down. Today, edwin tapasco parra has the day off. As always, hes spending it with his family. One thing hes sure of he never wants to go back to prison. And hes prepared to do a lot. He already has a plan for a businene for the time after tht project ends and they stop paying him. The idea is to organize trash next our barrio. Well put up containers where people usually throw rubbish on the ground. We know where those places are. Thats more than just a glimmer of hope. Its good for the environment and just what the conservation havists want. Their help is also needed elsewhere. Bogota has many other ravines like this one in Bosque Calderon tejada. Global 3000 loves visiting people around the world. Today, a family in rwanda invites us to their home. Welcome to my living room. We have a small seating area. And a television. I really like these curtains. At first they wanted 3000 rwandan francs for them. I paid 2,000. Actually 1500 would have been enough, but i liked the curtains so much. This is my husband. We live together happily. We wed in 1998, so weve been married for a long time. We h have four children, three sons and a daughter. Theyre all in school or training. In the evening when weve finished our chores, we watch tv or listen to the radio in our living room. Weve never been apart. Weve never had problems. Two of our children have just finished school and two still go to school. We thank god that though were not rich, were happy. Thank you for visiting our living room. May god protect you. I i wish you happipiness. Exext week, wewe visit the amazonian n rainforests s of pe where, s since time immemorial, indigenous fisishermen he e been hunting ththe regions largest freshwater fisish.
