Der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges 1914 ()
Synopsis:
Die Dokumentation zeigt den Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen 1914 - 1918 und 1939 - 1945.
Vier Wochen nach der Ermordung des Thronfolgers Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand in Sarajewo am 28. Juni 1914 erklärte Österreich-Ungarn Serbien den Krieg.
Die Doku zeigt, wie sich dieses Geschichtsereignis bald auf ganz Europa auswirkte und die Menschen über das Kriegsende hinaus prägte.
Unter den Soldaten an der Westfront waren damals auch Adolf Hitler und der britische Leutnant Bernard Montgomery.
30 Jahre später sollten sie sich erneut gegenüberstehen.
In nachkolorierten Bildern werden die unbeschwerlichen Wochen des Sommers 1914 vor dem Kriegsausbruch bis zum winterlichen Jahreswechsel 1914/15 veranschaulicht.
Dazwischen der deutsche Angriff über Belgien nach Frankreich mit dem Beginn der Schlacht an der Marne und der Kriegsausbruch im Osten zwischen Deutschland und Russland.

One Night In Bhopal ()
Synopsis:
On December 3 1984, more than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, immediately killing at least 3,800 people and causing significant morbidity and premature death for many thousands more. The company involved in what became the worst industrial accident in history immediately tried to dissociate itself from legal responsibility. Eventually it reached a settlement with the Indian Government through mediation of that country's Supreme Court and accepted moral responsibility. It paid $470 million in compensation, a relatively small amount of based on significant underestimations of the long-term health consequences of exposure and the number of people exposed. The disaster indicated a need for enforceable international standards for environmental safety, preventative strategies to avoid similar accidents and industrial disaster preparedness.
Since the disaster, India has experienced rapid industrialization. While some positive changes in government policy and behavior of a few industries have taken place, major threats to the environment from rapid and poorly regulated industrial growth remain. Widespread environmental degradation with significant adverse human health consequences continues to occur throughout India.
