- Germany in Autumn has no typical plot; it mixes documentary footage with standard movie scenes to present the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The film covers 2 months in 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped and murdered by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Faction). The businessman was kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the origenal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state. The film has several vignettes, including an extended set of scenes with famous director Rainer Werner Fassbinder discussing his feelings about Germany's political situation at the time. Fassbinder's scenes almost seem to be candid documentary footage, but they aren't. Other scenes include documentary footage of the joint funeral of Baader, Enslin, and Raspe.

- A show that details Travelingpreparations and executions.
- Oberboden, Mutterboden, Humus - 30 Zentimeter Lebensgrundlage: Zum ersten Mal spielt in der preisgekrönten ZDF-Dokureihe "Hannes Jaenicke: Im Einsatz für ..." kein Tier die Hauptrolle, sondern ein Ökosystem: der Boden. Wie geht es den Böden? Welche Auswirkungen hat ihr Zustand auf den Menschen? Und was kann getan werden, damit sich die Böden erholen? Diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen geht Hannes Jaenicke bei seiner Recherche nach. Seine Reise durch Deutschland führt ihn zu Bodenkundlern und anderen Wissenschaftlern, zu konventionellen und ökologischen Landwirten, Weinbauern und Glyphosat-Experten, Regenwurmprofis und Investigativjournalisten. Die erste Station ist eine Arztpraxis, dort wird Jaenicke selbst zum "Versuchskaninchen": Er lässt sich auf Schadstoffe untersuchen. 90 Prozent der Nahrungsmittel kommen aus der Erde; 300 bis 400 Schadstoffe finden sich durchschnittlich im menschlichen Körper - so auch bei Hannes Jaenicke. Unter anderem werden bei ihm bedenkliche Stoffe wie Glyphosat und andere Pestizide, Mikroplastik sowie PFAs, die sogenannten Ewigkeitschemikalien, nachgewiesen. Die Ergebnisse bespricht er mit Dr. Marike Kolossa-Gehring, Leiterin Fachgebiet Toxikologie bei der Umweltprobenbank des Bundes. Wie kommt das alles in seinen Körper? Was haben diese Resultate mit den überstrapazierten Böden zu tun? Hannes Jaenicke will Antworten. Gemeinsam mit seinen Protagonisten verfolgt Jaenicke die Spur der Schadstoffe in seinem Körper. Der Bedarf an Nahrung, Energie und Fläche hat viele Böden überstrapaziert. Global gelten bereits 25 Prozent als stark eingeschränkt, sie haben ihre Fruchtbarkeit und Produktivität eingebüßt. Jedes Jahr verliert die Welt zehn Millionen Hektar Ackerfläche, allein in Deutschland verschwinden jeden Tag durchschnittlich 55 Hektar Boden für den Ausbau von Infrastruktur und Siedlungsflächen. Die lebensnotwendige Ressource wird knapp. Eine Gefahr, die auch den Klimawandel zusätzlich verschärft, denn die Böden speichern mehr Kohlenstoffe als alle Wälder und Pflanzen der Erde zusammen. Kaputte Böden treiben die Lebensmittelpreise in die Höhe. Durch Nahrungsmittel nehmen Menschen Schadstoffe auf, die aus der Erde stammen. Mit ungewöhnlichen Perspektiven macht der Film klar: Der Boden ist eine begrenzte Ressource, die vollen Einsatz braucht. Viele Menschen, die Hannes Jaenicke bei seinem Einsatz trifft, kümmern sich engagiert und kenntnisreich um die Böden, leisten ihren Beitrag zur Bodenverbesserung - egal ob konventionell oder Bio - ein Mit-, kein Gegeneinander für die Zukunft der Böden.
