TURKEY: THE EVROS REFUGEES

by Eberhard Rühle and Alix François Meier, 26 min, 2012, ARTE Reportage

As controls in southern Italy and Spain have become stricter, the area along the Evros river border between Greece and Turkey has become the new refugee corridor to Europe. The Evros is particularly dangerous in winter. In 2011 alone, 48 people drowned. The camera follows the refugees from Istanbul across the Evros to Athens.

Deltas of the World: Amazon - Healing Tropics

The water-rich Amazon Delta is home to unique flora and fauna. This cinematographic voyage of discovery begins in the north of the delta, where the Tumucumaque National Park is the largest rainforest conservation area in the world. It then leads south across the Amazon and across the largest river island in the world, Ilha de Marajó, located in the middle of the delta, to the tropical city of Belém with its fascinating Ver-o-Peso fish market.
