New Film in the ARD TV-documentary about the alienation between Parts of the people and the government provides many of the right questions, the answers, however guilty.

New ARD documentary deals with the alienation between the people and the government In TV focus: right-wing populism, refugee policy, Corona, and other crises in Chaotic dynamics: the Film receives a few points of criticism

The Patient is not healthy; even a layman looks at first glance. The Patient is Germany, and he suffers from Crohn’s Merkel, as the title of the documentation. “Angela Merkel: ‘We can do this!'” suggests; but the Chancellor is only a Symptom and not the cause of the disease. With the true reasons of the discontent of many German Helmar Büchel fails to address; this is a clear content-related weak.

The second is of a formal nature: issues of time and levels are constantly changing. This provides for a certain amount of dynamics, makes the Film , however, unstructured work, and prevents the various aspects to be really in-depth. The approach is not wrong. Büchel, including two times with the German television award, beating the bow of the so-called refugee crisis, to the Corona-crisis. The have nothing at all to do, and yet are the gradients in a similar way: First, the Federal government has a great acceptance of their measures experienced at the time of the waiver of a closing of the border to Austria, this spring, the major restrictions of personal freedom, but then turned into a support, at least in the public’s perception is increasingly rejecting.

ARD-Film-remains superficial snapshots in TV

Both times have right-wing populists the topic, in order to make sentiment against the Chancellor and the allegedly hostile “system media”. In the case of the refugees, which has worked out very well and ultimately led to the AfD is moved in the Bundestag. In the case of Corona, the Plan did not work out (yet). Büchel has diligently collected many facets and a lot of discussions, but his Film is ultimately more than a collection of highlights and snapshots.

to stay in the medical image: He describes the course of the disease, but leaves open what the Patient actually suffers, and this, paradoxically, in fact, is healthy; Germany is far better than most of the other countries came through the Corona of a crisis, and many refugees have made the country even in front of insurmountable challenges. Why are there still people who are convinced that Angela Merkel was in League with evil powers, and part of a world conspiracy?

still, says Büchel, engaged far more German citizens in aid for refugees than for the AfD; that gives me hope. The AfD supporters, however, are significantly louder. In addition, a phenomenon that was already observed after 2015 to be repeated. At the time, politicians and journalists had to admit eventually that they were much like to the provocations of the populists in. In this way, the AfD enormous publicist could enjoy the pleasures of presence, without factually anything to contribute to the solution of a problem.

TV documentary on error reporting: ARD-Film appealed to the media

When dealing with the conspiracy theorists commit a lot of media the same error: By reporting on its decision and nonsense, you will inevitably lead to its spread. Of course, the Alternative is not that these things by remaining silent. Earlier, the leaders had been able to act just in obscure small circles; today, thanks to Facebook, YouTube & co. is an amazingly large retinue. The more important it would be to go to the bottom of things: Why seem to believe a lot of people, Bill Gates would implement with the help of mandatory vaccines and implanted Chips, more sinister plans? And it is, as Büchel asks, only a vocal minority, or the first signs of a profound change?

ARD Film about the rift between the people and the government

The author States right at the beginning of his film , a crack to go through Germany, and he shows in a somewhat redundant argument between father and son that this crack moves across families. The question of where and when the crack has started, he won’t, however, not even his interlocutors (among other things, the Deputy world editor-in-chief Robin Alexander, author Ferda Ataman, Green party politician Claudia Roth and political scientist Herfried Münkler).

For this, he delivers with his chronicle of the “refugee crisis” in an indirect response, however; the mistrust, of which he speaks, is likely to be far older. For a more in-depth research into the causes, it is not enough to consider just the last five years. Probably even a review in the early Nineties would not be enough, as there was a first wave of attacks against asylum homes, far enough back.
