Kräuterdrogen
Oft legal, aber gefährlich
Sie bekommen minutenlange Lachflashs, haben ihre Bewegungen nicht mehr unter Kontrolle oder rennen ziellos durch die Gegend. Internetvideos zeigen, was die sogenannten Legal Highs mit Jugendlichen anstellen.
Der Film berichtet vom 17-jährigen Tobias, der einen regelrechten Höllentrip erlebte, nachdem er im Wald mit Freunden Kräutermischungen in einer Wasserpfeife geraucht hat. Spaß haben und entspannen. Dieser Wunsch wurde Tobias fast zum Verhängnis.
Die Bezeichnungen Badesalze oder Kräutermischungen wirken harmlos. In Wahrheit sind es aber gefährliche, mit synthetischen Drogen versetzte Rauschmittel, die leider ganz leicht über das Internet bestellt werden können. Die oft jugendlichen Konsumenten wissen gar nicht, was sie da zu sich nehmen, woher die Mischung kommt und wer sie zusammengemischt hat. Die Mischungen in den Tütchen variieren so stark, dass eine kontrollierte Dosierung kaum möglich ist. Laut Experten kann die Wirkung bis zu 300-mal stärker sein als z. B. bei Cannabis.
Gemeinsam mit dem Unterrichtsmaterial ist der Film sehr gut für den Einsatz im Schulunterricht geeignet.

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
Stalking
n Germany, 12 % of all federal citizens are pursued by a stalker once in their lives. And not only celebrities are among their victims! Everyone may be confronted with such a situation.
Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
