The first German-language documentary to critically examine the zeitgeist phenomenon of "transsexuality." In a nearly 90-minute journey, authors Judith Sevinç Basad and Jan A. Karon combine reportage with investigative research, attending demonstrations, speaking with activists, and meeting desperate parents, as well as teachers, transsexuals, youth therapists, feminists, and publicists. They conclude: Trans activism is perhaps the most dangerous zeitgeist phenomenon, one that is still completely downplayed.
The new Federal Minister of the Interior and Community (Lena Dörrie) is used to mastering big challenges. But a murder at the Conference of Interior Ministers is something else. Especially at the back of the Bavarian beyond, without any cell phone reception, isolated from the outside world. To make matters worse: The 16 interior ministers of the federal states (including Jan Böhmermann, Henny Reents, Christoph Zrenner) are of no help in clarifying the matter.
On his 80th birthday, show legend Frank Elstner ventures into unfamiliar territory. It is not he who is asking the questions this time, but: Anke Engelke, Jan Böhmermann, Barbara Schöneberger, Michelle Hunziker, Thomas Gottschalk, Günther Jauch and Jean-Claude Juncker.
In 2001, Jimmy Wales published the first article on Wikipedia, a collaborative effort that began with a promise: to democratize the spreading of knowledge, monopolized by the elites for centuries. But is Wikipedia really a utopia come true?
Jan Böhmermann welcomes his viewers every Friday to his new late-night satire on ZDF and presents socially relevant topics, paired with wit and irony.
Böhmermann was born and raised in Bremen. He enrolled to study history, sociology and theatre in Cologne, but dropped out before long. Previously, Böhmermann had applied to drama schools in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich; he was rejected by all three. He was accepted at a fourth drama school in Hannover, but did not enroll. In 1997, Böhmermann was hired as a columnist at the Bremen daily newspaper Die Norddeutsche. He joined Radio Bremen as a presenter in 1999, where he also had a stint as a comedy writer. In 2015, he became known internationally for the satirical music video V for Varoufakis about the Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. The clip is from Böhmermann's late-night show Neo Magazin Royale. His satirical rap song Ich hab Polizei peaked at #10 in the German charts. However, the song also caused considerable controversy: Journalists and rappers accused him of mocking lower-class people and also condoning police violence. In 2016 he and Olli Schulz hosted a talk show called Schulz & Böhmermann, which is based on a former show Böhmermann co-hosted with Charlotte Roche in 2012. (wikipedia)
