An examination of the history of the poppy plant and three of its deadliest derivatives. In ancient times, the poppy was considered divine, but in the 19th and 20th centuries, its addicting and lethal qualities caused unprecedented national outrage, social upheaval, and even sparked two wars. Used by the upper classes as patent medicines, heroin became the bane of society when the working class began to use it. In 1914, Federal law banned heroin and opium, and restricted morphine to medicinal use.

Six Tutsi women, raped in April 1994 by genocidal Hutus, tell their ordeal: rape, pregnancy, childbirth, a life of wandering in which they have been sentenced to live with a creature born from Man's cruelty. Twenty years later, we follow these women and their children now grown up to young adults.

Camp 72 follows a quest for justice and healing after war.

A mysterious story set in the madness of the Battle of Berlin at the end of World War II. When the Red Army shot down a civilian Lufthansa aircraft near the Brandenburg villages of Glienig and Buckow on April 20, 1945, the incident did not only destroy the lives of the passengers and their families, but also leaves deep scars at the scene of the accident and numerous questions. Who was on board of the plane and who was allowed to leave Berlin at that point in time, which was being bombed by the Allies - just on a symbolic day like Adolf Hitler's birthday? Why is there still no passenger list? Why was the crew changed again shortly before departure from Berlin? The documentary gets to the bottom of these questions in the form of a gripping true crime docu-thriller and reconstructs the background of this mysterious incident from the last days of the Second World War for the first time.
