Alegria - Eine humanitäre Expedition ist die Geschichte eines einmaligen Abenteuers über den Himalaya, welches das Leben von hunderten Menschen in Not veränderte, Leprapatienten und geistig kranke Frauen in Indien unterstützte. Beladen mit 40kg Überlebensausrüstung radelte Christoph von Toggenburg alleine 3200km entlang der höchsten Routen der Welt. Mit wenig Sauerstoff zum Atmen und bei Temperaturen von -15 ° C bis +45 ° C überquerte er die höchsten Bergpässe der Welt … mehrund meisterte über 50'000 Höhenmeter. Christoph wurde höhenkrank und vom Steinschlag getroffen. Während der maoistischen Unruhen durchquerte er Nepal und das vom Konflikt heimgesuchte Kaschmir. Auf seiner Reise fand er herzliche Gastfreundschaft, neue Freunde und sah einige der schönsten Landschaften der Welt. Er wurde so zum Filmemacher, Schauspieler, Spendensammler und Leiter einer Sensibilisierungskampagne und filmte dieses einmalige Abenteuer ganz alleine.
Living River is a groundbreaking and up-close look at the pollution that’s been an ecological scourge troubling the revered Ganges River in India. The film delivers as yet an unexplored and authentic view of the river and the people struggling to compel change. With unprecedented access, the film brings to light an age-old industry of leather production in transition, bringing in USD$4 Billion to the Indian economy at a cost of degradation of the environment and the health of the residents. Does the end justify the means? This film illustrates the irony of Hindus profiting from the skin of "holy" cows while polluting the “sacred” Ganges River. The exposed water pollution in India is a red flag for fresh water rivers around the world suffering from endemic problems of improper and inadequate treatment plants, illegal activities by chemical industries along riverbanks, improper oversight and weak implementation of government regulatory agencies, corruption, and lack of public awareness.
DILLI is a moving collection of heartfelt interviews with Delhi slum dwellers. Its lens focuses on a group of dwellers, bringing to life the untold story of mass exodus of thousands who were bulldozed from their homes and transferred to a makeshift facade - Bawana without water, shelter or drainage, while the city was being beautified for Commonwealth Games 2010. DILLI - city of dreams - is a universal story of millions of underprivileged around the world. DILLI holds up a mirror not only to India, but to every nation around the world, whose poor live forgotten under bridges, children go hungry, and fathers work thousands of miles from their families to provide. DILLI brings awareness. And awareness is the first step towards action. weniger
