Tunnel to Freedom

The legendary escape through tunnel 29 in 1962

August 13, 1961: The GDR closes the sector borders in Berlin. The city is divided overnight. Escaping to the West becomes more dangerous by the day. But on 14 September 1962, exactly one year, one month and one day after the Wall was built, a group of 29 people from the GDR managed a spectacular escape to the West through a 135-metre-long tunnel. For more than four months, students from West Berlin, including two Italians, painstakingly built this tunnel. They risked their lives - for friends, relatives, lovers and political ideals.

The Forum

Behind the scenes of the World Economic Forum

For the first time in the 50-year history of the World Economic Forum, an independent camera crew was able to shoot behind the scenes of the huge event. In times of unfettered populism and growing mistrust towards the elite, we follow Klaus Schwab, the 81-year-old founder of the controversial World Economic Forum, over the course of one year. We accompany him as he works to carry out his mission: to improve the state of the world. Can Klaus Schwab´s vision for the Forum really contribute to solving global problems? Or does it actually worsen the issue by promoting the self-interest of a global elite?

The Forecaster

The Story of Martin Armstrong

MARTIN ARMSTRONG, once a US based trillion dollar financial advisor, developed a computer model based on the number pi and other cyclical theories to predict economic turning points with eerie accuracy. As Armstrong's recognition grew, prominent New York bankers invited him to join "The Club" to aid them in market manipulation. Martin repeatedly refused. Later that same year (1999) the FBI stormed his offices, confiscating his computer model and accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Was it an attempt to silence him and prevent him from initiating a public discourse on the real Ponzi scheme of debts that the world has been building up for decades?
