Dictatorships in the 20th Century II
Stalin
Nobody could trust his colleagues, his friends, even his own family any more. An entire nation was brutally oppressed, spied out and exposed to any conceivable form of despotism. Until Joseph Stalin died on 5th March 1953, these facts were the bitter reality of the Soviet citizens’ everyday life. This despot used his absolute power to wage war against his own people for decades.
DVD 1 shows Stalin’s course of development up to his growth of power as Lenin’s heir in the year 1924. It illustrates Russia’s way from a backward agricultural country at the end of the 19th century to the Soviet Union, the first socialist state of the world.
DVD 2 examines the methods of the Stalinist system (e.g. the gulags). Also Stalin’s role as a commander in the Second World War and during the Cold War is dealt with.
The film is to encourage reflexion and further interest in Stalin. For the way he is assessed in today’s Russia covers a wide and contrasting range: from deepest disgust to highest admiration. Together with the extensive accompanying teaching material the DVD is perfectly suited for use in the classroom.

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
Mobile Learning II
Oh, what’s that? Original soundtrack Thissen: “As our children grow up in a media world and naturally handle the media, they should also be a topic in school.“ An older child says the point is that they don’t just load down apps but create things themselves that haven’t existed so far. Hi, I’m Jana. A propeller hat. I’ll put it on. Now I’m no longer a simple rhino, but a flying rhino. Original soundtrack Thissen: “It’s exactly the great flexibility of tablets that promotes very personalised and adapted learning.” Original soundtrack Welzel: “It’s fascinating to see how the children grow with their products and how they always want to improve them.” The Westminster Abbey is a church in London for the royal family. Original soundtrack Welzel: “And?“ They think it is ok.
