Habitats in Human Hands
Changing Nature
Forests, hedges, heathlands or colourful meadows are the epitome of unspoilt nature for us. However, these landscapes are human-made. Either deliberately or by chance, we change our environment according to our needs. In doing so, we almost always destroy nature and create, even if unintentionally, whole new habitats. The film shows how humankind creates cultivated landscapes and how even abandoned industrial areas are for example reclaimed from nature. Various synanthropic species are described together with the habitats provided by villages and cities. And what seems incredible at first glance: gravel pits, which look like moonscapes devoid of life, are full of life, too!

Inclusion
Madita is eleven and blind. She does not want to go to a special school but to a regular grammar school. She says she feels "normal" there. Jonathan is eight and has a walking disability. He likes going to the school where he lives. Here, his best friend sits next to him. Max Dimpflmeier, a teacher who is severely deaf, explains that school life is not easy. Quote Max Dimpflmeier: "You don't want to attract attention, you want to avoid saying that it is necessary for you that 70 people adjust to your situation." People on their way to inclusion.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
