but we begin with an animated film which deals with events surrounding the full of the burden wall which of course started to crumble with the monday demonstrations in leipzig exactly 30 years ago fritzy a revolutionary tale is based on a book by hannah schott who felt compelled to write it when she discovered that children today seem to know little about the events of recent german history tentacle muslim doesn't this doesn't seem that soon. east germany in 1912 year old fritzy agrees to take care of her best friend sophie's little dog sputnik for so his family is on summer vacation in hungary. nice. but after vacation sophie doesn't come back to school her family along with thousands of others have fled east germany taking refuge in the west german embassy . has been determined to find sophie and reunite her with sputnik critique finds

herself at the st nicholas church in leipsic the site of weekly peaceful protests against the east german government the gazans. she is confronted with the monday prayers and monday demonstrations in leipsic she experiences these peaceful people who want to change something in their country and she experiences this violence of the state against these peaceful protesters. mention him covered so many sophie's family are nationally frightened for their daughter's safety but she convinces them to join the next march on october 9th 1989 it will be the 1st mass demonstration against the regime there turning point in the peaceful revolution. the directors believe their historical tale has an important lesson for today and scioto noir there are many movements these days protectionists the anti islamic movement which have misappropriated and misused the. i'm slogans from back

then i find this unconscionable it's important that we show people what the peaceful revolution was really. what is a movie going on how come there was. historically accurate and rich with period detail fritzy is a moving story about the ordinary people whose courage changed the world. of the movie is here with his now do you think this is just for small children. no i think it's i mean it's definitely targeting small kids particularly actually this generation of children here in germany who've grown up in the united germany and really for them the fall the wall is probably is just as the middle ages i mean it's so far in the past for for these kids but this film i think is really compelling about is that it tells the story the monday monday demonstrations of the of the peaceful revolution but does so in

a way that even very very small children can understand it but it's so loving and it's in its details i mean the directors one was from the west germany one grew up in the east they get all the details right i mean i was talking to some east german friends and they were amazed that every single detail the way that we the people looked the clothing the way the hair does even if the television sets or everything it's always it's exactly right so it does give an amazing picture of the world back then surely germans do know their own history well i think you'd be surprised i mean the writer of the book this film is based on was inspired to write it because she was amazed at how little germans double their own history especially young young germans i mean there are surveys that show that many young germans don't even know that their country was divided some even think that it was divided it wasn't divided east to west but north to south. and as one of the directors pointed out there's also. not even just young germans but the this is

a far growing far right political force in germany that are misusing that history taking the same slogans that were peaceful slogans of we are the people just a split and using them for their own messages of anti immigration or races races messages that i think any of those people should take a look at a movie like this ok is it something for non germans as well yeah i think so i mean as i say it's for very young young children but the. details of this film the historical details of this film are really a lesson for anyone to give an idea of what the world look like in east germany that i know what i really like is how balance it is i mean for family in this film are not activists against a regime like so many east germans at the time are sort of keeping their heads down and hoping things pass over and only when they see there is no other way that they start to go on the streets and protest and start a revolution to really change the world ok thank you very much hopefully also an uplifting film bearing in mind a lot of german history is the thank you. now it's time for baking bread with your

old masters better known as our europe correspondent in brussels but he's also a wizard with yeast and flour his goal is to make bread from every e.u. country and this week a rather complicated take some time a finnish bread that i won't try to pronounce. you make. of course with roots or right makes 125 grams or fine and 100 grams of medium right kernels with 210000000 liters of boiling water then makes 330000000 liters of water which 330 grams of fry flour plus 35 grams from rice sourdough now you should have to bree dose right prime minister i hope so i hope so very much. in the past riot was one of the few nutritious plants that thrived in the short nordic summer.

after 16 hours makes both toes in a bowl along with 230000000 liters of water 220 grams of rye flour 200 grams of whole wheat flour 15 grams of fresh 21 grams of salt and 20 grams of ball a mult till they form a single. 45 minutes later split the dough into 4 pieces and shape each one into a circle. for the next step you need a shop class. finland slats more tax on i'll call than any other country in your. pants because the fins are little too for the people.

that do not apply country i was speculating but the holes in the bread are designed to keep it's dry after cooking the loads are suspended from the ceiling on wooden poles to air this finish loath. to finland one wall its not just the lathe the bread that is full of rake holes the whole country and. there are some 188000 lakes in finland a legacy of the ice age and more than in any other you country. just before you break them appears much smaller also into your dough. finland is the most sparsely populated country in the e.u. show you what i mean with this loaf in the north there are only 2 people. and 2 reindeer per square kilometer but our bread was invented in the relatively

populous west of finland so we need this tool and a few more holes. stick it in the oven at $250.00 degrees celsius. then throw in some water. to create lots of steam another question for peanuts is increase people is very important and it is their prime it chasing in finland most things and in the sauna there are 2000000 of them one for every 3 feds even finance prisoners so what are you down there. after 30 minutes in the oven our bread is ready. mel's delicious and it's a loaf as stark as the helsinki sky in winter when only full moon shot.
