For the past 4 years, scientist Dr Allen Dobrovolsky has been testing the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

The main voices in the documentary come from the top coral and marine research scientists in Australia, along with locals, activists, politicians and indigenous leaders, who are all concerned about the poor outlook for the reef due to the multiple port developments along the coast line that are contributing to its poor health. The story focuses on the fight that has been happening on land around governance of the reef's health.

Jahrzehntelang war der Oscar-prämierte Produzent Harvey Weinstein einer der mächtigsten Männer in Hollywood. Er konnte Stars erschaffen, aber auch Karrieren zerstören. Dass er Rollen gegen sexuelle Gefälligkeiten vergab, war stets ein offenes Geheimnis. Erst 2017 wurde öffentlich, mit welcher Brutalität er angehende Schauspielerinnen, große Stars und Angestellte gezwungen hatte, ihn zu befriedigen. Der Mann, der lange Zeit als unantastbar gegolten hatte, sah sich nun zahllosen Anschuldigungen wegen sexueller Belästigung, Missbrauch und Vergewaltigung ausgesetzt. Immer mehr Frauen wagten es, ihre erschütternden Geschichten zu erzählen - und lösten damit die weltweite Me-Too-Bewegung aus, die alle Branchen erfasste...

What if everything we’ve been taught about charity is wrong? What if our beliefs are undermining the causes we love? “Uncharitable” is the world’s first feature-length documentary to examine our most basic ideas about giving. It re-shuffles old notions about saints and sinners, heroes and heretics, good and greed. It follows the stories of three record-breaking entrepreneurial charitable initiatives that were mercilessly attacked by the media, ultimately devastating the very people the initiatives were helping. It features activist and entrepreneur Dan Pallotta, whose TED Talk on charity was voted the most persuasive TED talk of all time by the TED community. Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal—“Uncharitable” offers a radical but simple idea: abandon our sack-cloth-and-ashes constraints on nonprofits. Give them the same economic freedoms we give to business and charities can lead the way to changing the world. Propelled by poignant, personal stories and featuring Edward Norton, Darren Walker and other prominent figures in philanthropy, “Uncharitable” takes audiences on a profoundly moving, hopeful and emotional journey that opens new domains of possibility for a world that can work for everyone.
