native americans are one of the most under-represented groups in the country and low voter turnout is one of the reasons why we'll meet up with members of the lakota tribe for trying to choose their spots are reports on the news. and welcome news from the world of arts and culture this weekend sees the 30th anniversary of german reunification and we've been digging deep into the d.w.i. . and continue our series on the extraordinary decade of the $990.00 s. that change society so much here in germany also coming up today. becoming black new film by enos johnson spain who was led to believe it was

a genetic peculiarity that she was born black into a white family back in 1966 gemini. and the belgian city of shah was forgotten industrial sites are becoming tourist attractions thanks to an intrepid tour guide. today in germany between 60100000 people identify as transgender off to reunification germany became a place of advance a patient and sexual liberation like a as a christian for street day parade. while many transgender people feel more accepted in today's society this wasn't always the case. for all series all the $990.00 s. the formative decade that followed the fall of the berlin wall we met up again with michelle meyer a transsexual woman with usual story who as a man was crowned

a beauty queen and 991. at the beginning of the 1996 freedom and equality were not a matter of course for germany's clear community the world health organization removed homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders in 1990 but many people remained prejudiced. positive already was but i. think you probably him. along with. those who didn't conform to the traditional heterosexual gender norms continue to face struggles like michelle might appear decreasing from buying for. contact then i'm transsexual which means that i've altered my body to fit my sense of myself as a woman once the decisive point is that i was crowned miss by a white 1991 when i was still a man. and. michelle was named michelle at birth before having

any gender confirmation surgery she took part in a beauty contest and. she added herself as transgender after her victory that was considered a scam. came 29 years later we met up with her again. it was very difficult at the time to survive as a transgender or gay or lesbian person especially by white a small but very in town that was taboo of course it was really bad with all the threats i got death threats phone calls wrong in underwear fact. despite such adversity michelle doesn't regret coming out just the opposite she's proud of herself and of her past and she hopes to be a role model for others. sophie mentioned you think there are so many people who have the same problem i do who would like to go down the same path but don't know

where to turn or what they should do but they hide themselves just as i had myself for years too afraid of coming out so i thought that was the opportunity to say people tolerate us we're human beings just like everyone else yes or yes we're thinking also mentioned the. last tolerance a lot of fear people spoke about that in the ninety's on heat our t.v. program for young people. from rising bollards what hurt me the most was this ostracism of being told that you're a different kind of person that you're abnormal and don't belong anywhere cool with a gay partnership isn't really all that accepted by society when he walk around holding hands or share a kiss on the subway people stay or you feel left alone and cast out. with one. for a lot of people the ninety's turned out to be an era of change. with balance and exploring

the twilight and i have to honestly say that after i came out things got a bit better in terms of tolerance i'd say that after about 5 to 7 years people got more tolerable because there was a phase of education that t.v. shows and newspapers got much better at explaining and showing why a person is transgender allies are gay or why they're lesbian the way. thanks for the help. with. slowly but surely there was a liberalization of society in the 1990 s. but for germany's clear community today there is still some way to go when it comes to equality and civil rights. a true story now from the former east germany has been into a documentary its filmmaker in its johnson spain's own story a parent's always told her skin was simply a coincidence conceiving the truth that her biological father was actually from

africa. the coming black is johnson spain's attempt to understand the past. pictures of the happy family the son is white the daughter is black the children believe it's just a whim of nature. you should take nothing feelin. and thank me as a noise act. which was it's one of those least did just for my sake. isn't times i think this is unusually byzantine country and. as a student. traditional of course i was looking for an explanation trying to make sense of it without having to doubt my parents are. my age but looking back i actually think that i always sensed that this could really be the answer. but that was the story young enos grew up in former communist east germany in the

1960 s. she was 12 before she learned that her biological father came from tokyo in africa her mother secretly met her father while he was studying in town now an affair that was never talked about the director confronts her adoptive father about how this was possible. this is selfish to mark the super bowl with. there for me in the sea of. patients maybe my next times as many would go. in the prim social climate of the socialist worker state it seems this was a taboo subject for family and friends to. garnish that will go knock it out when it gets to any machine to. the touch of can

be a bond i have had. a child resulting from an infidelity and then top of it all a black child that was considered too much back then the result of resoundingly collective silence but being different and the hurtful looks he attracted were unsettling for us as a teenager. targus in there is no management see my note problem. caused. by them it should have are much much more of those minutes rest as i. didn't promise to be the rick a half. dozen times different time also these are just the terrible effects of racism the internalization of racism which leads to the grow in ass not feeling comfortable in her skin and therefore to her rejecting everything that looks like her for her to know how to decide on is up interest all seem to be bad but the film is not an indictment of the director focuses on her search for identity in 2 parts

of the world she did later meet her biological father in my high mondo who she died in 2010 in the film the director travels to tokyo and meets his and her family. if it's fancy. enos brings a picture of newseum back to his. where it takes its place in the gallery of johnson family ancestors. becoming black is a haunting and poetic journey that sheds light on a neglected chapter of german history. 2 nature of holes a vacuum as the saying goes abandon the dust for landscapes america section what some people might consider the focus of. gardening. extremely popular in safari's the belgian city is crammed full of industrial of what might be called distressed architectural highlights as another saying goes beauty is in the eye of

the behold isn't it. actually this is also in the eye of the beholder is that one man is offering to is a child was chosen by a dutch newspaper as the roads ugliest city. urban safaris booked up precisely because people want to see the decay of belgium's onetime industrial metropolis. i decided i wanted to do an anti top. if this city has a bad reputation then i'll play that up with a make it the subject of the anti taught. at one time just south of brussels numbered among europe's wealthiest cities boasting several impressive estates. but then the big steel works and mines closed down.

now 40 year old artist. shows visitors from the world around his city. these are more mobile that the germans have a word for it that the french don't understand industry. you might compare it to the artists of the 19th century who travel to see the ruins of ancient rome generate. passed since the still works closed here the young people don't know the old industrial age so it gives them space for a month. to top sightings in store for the tourists and their guide on this urban safari include blast furnace is cooling towers and factory homes hardly any of the industrial buildings along the sampler and mass rivers are still in operation. what attracts artists not just from the area but even many from the capital brussels they come looking for a creative outlet. i think of as a kind of freedom here there are plenty of m.t.r.

new spaces and they offer lots of possibilities. we have. one such thing is this one originally a steel forge founded in 832 it stood empty for 20 years before an artist collective revitalized it. another highlight of this urban jungle or other subway stations they were finished over 30 years ago but never. says the hill. have made show while richer than many believe. from up here you can see the city is very green poverty is born in the mind after all the cost of living in china was not high if you've got 3 friends a little garden and a social network that king of the world. he has

no doubt someday child will prosper once again but that will take courage and a vision and that's what nicholas hopes to inspire with his toys. it's always a matter of personal taste isn't it that's all for now lots more arts and culture on our website at d.w. dot com slash culture or on facebook at v.w. culture bob i.
