collection of artifacts from all over the world comprising what is known as berlin's treasure trove. and italian photographer down by nino's work is a feast for the eyes and a rather off kilter mirror of the soul of his famous inspirations. well her writing career is all inspiring tony morris the nobel prize winning author and from today's perspective it may be kind of hard to imagine how long it took for her author of the bestselling novel beloved to give the african american story its rightful place in the american canon well now a new documentary about her life the pieces i am puts her work into context and when it's over you feel as if you've spent 2 hours in her excellent company. it was illegal in his. words.

this new documentary traces the rise of the best selling author hewlett's or a nobel prize winner and force of nature toni morrison. before becoming a writer made her way up the male dominated world of new york publishing always fearless she soon realized that she not any of the old white guys was the smartest person in the room. i was more interesting than the critics damper 1st novels with faint praise and condescension early reviews says she's got a great talent one day she limit it to only writing about black people like. her to write about black people to be able to black. i prefer the word but i'm tired of people asking the. oprah winfrey's book club to make more sense a household name her novels became bestsellers and 97 her masterpiece beloved won

the pulitzer prize the tale about the lasting trauma of slavery was turned into a film produced by and starring oprah winfrey sadly film critics didn't know how to handle morrison's story of an escaped slave who kills her daughter rather than let her be recaptured even morrison said she was shocked when she got the call saying she'd won the nobel prize for literature in the hole if you focus too much into. toni morrison's work shows as to pain all the myriad ways we can come to love that is what she does with the words on the page. toni morrison the pieces i am is a personal powerful portrait of an artist who changed the canon. and my colleague scott rockstro has joined me in the studio to tell us more about the pieces i am welcome. how did this film resonate with you and what did we learn about about 20 more well i think you learn a lot about her as a person it's all of this a lot about her work but so much of this is

a is an interview with toni morrison and it was really fascinating for me to see about her life as a single mom about the struggle she had to make at 1st the publishing industry and fighting against chauvinist editors and critics and also just this image of this incredibly strong self-assured a black woman who's also obviously having the time of her life so wonderful it's very much about her personal journey but also remarked about how she changed our view of literature full stop and it's so interesting perhaps for the younger generation that so many of the issues she was banging the same drones 40 years ago that the need to movement is talking about today yeah very much so i mean a lot the personal stories in the documentary are the stories of her fight for equal pay the stories of her fights against you know the the male dominated world situation i was moving in racial segregation and so forth and it's it's really complex think it's interesting that the new generation the younger generation of women in particular are discovering toni morrison as a sort of feminist icon and watches don't have to think how those other of these sort of 80 plus year old women who are being celebrated as sort of pop icons i mean

i had to think of the roots. peter ginsberg and dr ruth westheimer both of whom have their own documentaries documentaries that are just made of them. ruth bader ginsburg course. justice on the supreme court but and the documentary about her called r g b is is also about her image as a as a pop culture icon because she's become the known as the notorious r g r b g and has been as been start thousands of internet memes but my personal favorite is the other tiny ruth dr ruth westheimer german immigrant who's been teaching america about sex for a generation still going strong and strong it was like. she's a you know she's the pioneer of. of liberalism of these these feminist movements and i think it's amazing that these 80 plus year old women are become sort of pop stars for younger gen one thank goodness that credit is coming where credit is due

to they did so much ground work but you know talking about. margaret atwood canada's literary icon has to be kind of included i would do you out in the you in that in that kind of way to know she's she's $79.00 i think but yeah i mean she's almost the beyond say of the feminist literature in my opinion and and she's created the big feminist name of course because with her book them and sale which is adapted as a t.v. series the images from that which you know the long red cloak the the white bonnet that has been used as the means of protest against the patriarchy worldwide we saw it in recently in the protests against the point of print kind of kavanagh to be a supreme court court and you saw the women coming out in this outfit and it's become so iconic it's really seen now around the world any time women particularly young women want to protest against injustice or against sexism against racism they use this image and i think it's amazing that that is created by a 79 year old woman who started this battle way back where they were born someone

like gloria steinem comes to my mind i think they're making a new film about you know let me go next year thinking to you about that when the time comes toni morrison's the pieces i am by timothy greenfield sanders is out in the u.s. theaters and thanks very much to scott roxboro for bringing us all that backstory info. well i always like to remind people that early in our free spirited often grungy capital has more museums than paris more than 170 in fact and one of the reasons for that is the pressure cultural heritage foundation and its massive collection stretches from the stone age all the way to contemporary art and while some of its stars like never t.t. of course are well known many other treasures can now be seen in a brand new documentary a coproduction between d. w. ata and the german public station let's have a look. at the pression cultural heritage foundation has one of the world's largest collections comprising 5000000 objects held by 19 institutions in the german
