for good. relations international film festival is always good for a few surprises and the winner of the golden bear in 2021 is just that and we'll hear more about how the chips fell at the belly na in just a moment and also coming up. they dance in the streets their faces covered to protest rising violence against women in their country the chilean dance collective by lack. of the online industry portion of the 71st bell in allah has come to an end after 4 intense days of screenings the jury made up of 6 former golden bear winners has spoken and the golden bear for 2021 goes to romania director rather jude's film entitled bad luck banging or loony porn

and the title is your biggest hint as to why we can't show you much of it. this woman is a role model she's a teacher even she has a right to privacy but these days private lives all too often end up on social media. in this case a totally private video has gone viral it shows the teacher having sex it's no one's business but everyone has an opinion should she be allowed to stay in her profession and continue to teach children. the teacher is now suddenly in the public eye. to feel pleased to meet. the role reversal here but i got that but it's a bit but the fact that. the film is about chauvinism conspiracy theories and hypocrisy in post communist romania told us

a biting satire for the jury of this year's barely knowledge it was a stroke of genius. and scott rockstro joins me once again from bond to talk about the film that none of us had bet on hi scott bad luck banging or looney important wins the golden bear what's your take on this decision. well i mean they did pick the field with the best title i have to say i definitely agree with that. i mean this wasn't my favorite i'll be perfectly honest it's a social satire. the images that we just saw don't really do it justice because there's a lot of very hardcore imagery also in this film definitely not for everybody it's it's it is a nice interesting look at the political parker see and it's quite extreme but i finally found humor quite scattershot but what is interesting about this film is how it was made i mean this movie was shot entirely under lockdown in romania and

told the members of the production including the actors were all wearing masks the whole time so maybe that's why the jury picked it because it definitely is of its time it looks like no other film before and probably since will look like it looks like a corona era film the big question is whether anybody will want to watch this movie and a couple of years time it's very interesting with this jury because it was a very different bending alagiri this year you could tell they were really focusing on craft. yeah definitely definitely and i think it's significant that 3 of the members of this jury are from central eastern europe and this is a eastern european film from iranian style of humor and the way it looks at particularly sexual hypocrisy in eastern europe i think is quite significant that probably appealed to a number of the members of the jury that could be one reason why they think that i didn't take my choice you know i know they didn't and i don't want them when they've been lied to i think about where were who were perhaps the other know were the winners in your opinion. yeah greta with some of the choices made by the jury

they had their 1st gender neutral acting prize the silver bear for best performance and it went to the german actress. she was the star of this screwball comedy with a side by concept called i'm your man she plays in that she plays a german scientist who's a single and wary of relationships and she's assigned an android who's supposed to satisfy her every need to play by dan stevens of down abbey fame things don't go as planned and they do end up in couples therapy very funny movie a nice twist on sort of interesting concept and it was one of my favorites of the festival and another one i'd have to mention is a documentary called have and his classroom which won a special jury prize this is a look at a small village classroom in germany elementary school where the majority of students are migrants or from immigrant backgrounds it's a real fly on the wall documentary but i think really really touching very very

emotional and wonderful look at these kids who we often talk about in germany but we almost never get to hear what they have to say yeah very interesting viewpoints and i'm looking forward to those films that's got everything very unusual bailing out of it took place mostly. online tell us a little bit about the overall experience and did it do the festival just death. yeah i was very strange it's the 1st time i've been doing this 20 years that 1st time i've ever had an on line badly nala the films were quite good actually so that's definitely a plus and the experience wasn't too unpleasant but watching movies on your couch for a week isn't really the same experience berlin is the world's largest public film festival and audience experience hopefully will have a little bit of that in the summer because the winners. this year will be presented again at an open public festival coronal willing in june yeah well let's certainly hope that that will be allowed to happen the audience focused portion of this 2 part barely not on the belly not

a 71 the suspense is over for now and now we just need to see all of those great films thanks very much for all of your analyses this week scott ross perot in bon. all the statistics are sobering joining the coronavirus pandemic of violence against women has soared in latin america where rates of domestic abuse and femicide have gone through the roof since lockdowns 1st began about a year ago international women's day is our cheer to raise awareness of this fact and in our series on artist activists my colleague sophia button bag has this report from santiago de chile. this is a bad news correspondent into i'm going to present to a group of women that dances masts in the streets outside to raise awareness of gender violence and the power of women to fight for their rights to meet the demands collective. reversing for the big performance the dance collective. prepares its choreography for international women's day more than 50

women have come together dominique is one of. the of my for me the collective and dancing in the collective is liberation enjoyment pleasure friendship it's a space where i feel more protected and where i can be more myself. but that means dance masked one dance the red balaclavas offer a little protection from police tear gas but they also provide anonymity the masks have become their trademark. is one of 4 women who co-founded the collective in november 29 teams during protests against social inequality and sheelagh. if i say anything more than hiding our identities we want to protect them because there's been

a lot of political persecution for a long time even before the uprising. we want to form a collective with a common face at. protest i'm not moon i but part of the collective. this is the 1st time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic that the women have met to rehearse. and wear a feminist dance collective and our motivation is to make art less elitist to take downs on to the streets and to understand that our bodies are our 1st territory of struggle we dance not for others but for ourselves our choreography is are always based on urban dances such as dancehall trekking and hip hop on. an international women's day last year some 300 women in the collective danced in the streets of santiago wearing red masks some 2000000 people protested across the whole country social injustice in chile led to

a revolt in october 29th teen against the country's neo liberal economic and social model from the beginning that protest movement was a feminist one. the walls in santiago bear witness to this protest and to the struggle against the patriarchy and the culture of machismo the women of. want to use their dance performances to draw attention to violence against women and. their failure to me that's up. from the moment i leave my house i'm exposed to street harassment we are exposed to obstetric violence violence against women is present in all forms everywhere at home at work in the health care system within families. we live with a myriad of violence i want to believe it will be eradicated but it's a long process because we're in a paradigm shift. as a result of this collective is about far more than dance the women support each

other and give one another strength they say protesting and dancing together has changed them. to come up in the end though if the. we need more learning about feminism we're learning to love ourselves and not be competitive with each other but to really find a nucleus where we can express ourselves and be ourselves with each other. dancing with the collective has helped her learn self acceptance. and meaning i feel that for me in particular it changed the way i show myself to the world to those close to me and to myself that many are wearing red masks to draw attention to inequality and uncover one's true self the group will perform this new choreography on march 8th in the heart of the chilean capitol.

and more power to the well finally art lovers sense of risk and adventure will be put to the test at a very unusual exhibition in the northwestern russian region of where complete immersion into the chilly northern arc is literally a must because it's located under the ice of the white sea so see for yourself if you'd be willing to go this far. what suits and tolerance for low temperatures are indispensable for visitors wanting to witness this special exhibition held underwater. the pictures are cool i saw them before but under the sea they look different the effect this very interesting with the torchlight they started to shine and look 3 dimensional. the. photographer victor in the displaying photographs of white sea flora and fauna to raise awareness for wildlife and risk to climate change the artworks will remain

underwater until mid april when the ice starts to melt rendering visits to the exhibition site impossible. this is the cream of 3 years it's well known that the climate is changing it's a fact although it is minus 30 here today the white sea is the southernmost of all arctic sea ice the changes very fast it may happen that those creatures whose life is frozen into the ice will become extinct in the white sea in the near future. also on display in the underwater exhibition or sculptures by artists to do any slaughtering you really shaped objects are inspired by marine creatures living under the ice of the white sea reinterpreted to fit the artist's unique vision. home. some cool art to say the least of which i do stay warm over

the weekend and until we meet again all the best from us here in berlin pictures point. in the light of climate change. africa. what's in store. for the future. costs for the major cities to get insight. into. more than half the world will be living with limited water resources we haven't had to think about our war i think that era is over it's a financial product like any other financial. the world is changing your most important commodity futures can be free for a more or mississippi or commodity starts march 22nd on d w. dooney

$150.00 new right victims are admitted considered and to strace to their family and village community the women here have often being cast out. the stores where they are very isolated will shrivel sir most of the time they arrive completely alone it was a pool but it is rare that their husbands or family members accompany them to turn more even though some come from very far away of her clutches. the woman i talked to back there comes from nonbeing no were almost 500 people were killed there before the elections so the story is your 1st 300 but even when they come from far away often 2000 kilometers or more they are all alone without family there but for . the. mom meaning is 27 years old and is from a village called oh god oh several months ago she too was kidnapped by militias 'd

being is some of been brutally raped by one others by 2 by 3 or even by several members in it and it doesn't depend on the age they even rape 5 year olds 10 year olds 20 year olds and even 18 year olds they design this is the i remember the country very. common i experienced those horror herself armed perpetrators right tough for several days one is the father of the child she is carrying so he was always take care of yourself and if your baby can you feel it moving. and your husband should have left me after i was taken away. no no i haven't heard from him since then. did he already know that you were pregnant.

i only noticed later they dragged me into the forest so how low. i cried so much i was beaten and raped again and again to this then other women who also they helped me to escape. that's how i got hurt and that. the baby in your belly may 1 day go to school and have an education and then it can take harrison and he will pay for the school it'll be all right without a father. mommy will give bath and panzi hospital. but will she be able to accept and love her child. the democratic republic of congo shan sits north eastern border with you candor bro wonder and burundi the region has rich deposits of gold tungsten and coltan

materials which high tech companies from industrialized countries need to manufacture their products. the mines are often controlled by armed groups who terrorize the inhabitants of nearby villages. it was said that look i have very clear. very clear was that that i know that these are all these are also. in the democratic republic of congo german physician is a lush niger works with the rosemont data they want to improve health care in a conflict torn region. but the situation in the province is difficult in recent months hundreds of thousands of people have fled from armed groups. loot reg and kill and then there is a bowler the virus has been haunting the north east of the democratic republic of congo for over a year and thousands have already died. shari is

a village near banja the capital of a tory province 20000 refugees arrived here in just a few weeks gisela schneider has come to survey the situation to help says here is local representative moussaka. rosemont bare hands the nonprofit organization most are car but there are too many refugees in a small village to manage adequately for the infrastructure is completely overburdened with primary care of the refugees muzak is doing their best to help but they're not a big humanitarian organization with a lot of experience they're just trying to help people here the best way they know how. a church has been converted into an emergency shelter. over 300 fugitives are staying here. the air smells of urine and cold sweat. there is

a lack of everything. this is it's unbelievable i've only briefly spoken to a few of them but pretty much all have colds they have coughs which will turn into pneumonia or in some cases it gets cold here at night and they don't have anything to cover themselves with plus they're malnourished not to mention hygiene issues if diarrhea spreads here this whole group could be in danger and then of course we were in the area that is a huge risk. just after when the refugees 1st arrived the death rate was very high after 5 days we already had 10 dead since we started providing them with medical care we have been able to reduce the. death rate significantly we treat pregnant women and children under 5 1st because they are the most vulnerable but this is an every one here everyone needs

urgent medical attention the key at this is silent i. was. the refugees last all the way out and they have witnessed terrible atrocities including the mother of this young girl 24 year old marta see at the last sitting well looks like you they ran towards the villages with machetes and weapons in their hands they had barely clubbers over their heads to let that bother them then they started to set fire to the hearts and cut off the heads of the people shot i grabbed my children and ran for my life that i am writing a new guide to see that i live well on net i lost my parents in one of the 1st who was most horrified that i was very young when my father and mother were killed really a few years ago i lost 2 of my children in the war as well that now i have fled to

do not know where my husband is why i am all alone with my children and sherry when alone shadi oh. i. i. as if i had to fight i think that when i hear this is where we sleep i don't have another option everything i had even my mattress was burned with my house when it rains the water runs right down here past me and my children are. monsters daughter is 3 years old uni is 7. only had kasama leaves to feed her children she was due to give birth to her 3rd child in a few weeks it was ontario where she could give pass safely and how she would be able to support 3 children on her around. nobel laureate to name mcquade has made it his mission to inform the world about the atrocities happening in the democratic republic of congo. this conflict has already cost more

than 6000000 people their lives. 4000000 congolese are currently homeless. they are internally displaced and only a week ago we learned that over 300000 people had to flee. they have lost their homes and are out on the streets. then there are the hundreds of thousands of women who are raped. in the panzi hospital alone we have treated more than 50000 women to date through the camps all of them are victims of sexual violence and among them are older women as well as babies the baby. dinny mcquade his work has cost him some of his freedom. and see hospital is

guarded around the clock by u.n. sanctions. the nobel peace prize winner cannot leave the hospital without security forces. a few years ago he barely survived an assassination attempt and he received death threats again in 2020 he's a role model for young doctors and a hero to his patients. it is for them that he puts his own life at risk. you will be operated here you do not have to pay anything i think i've told you. don't worry here you won't be asked for money.

new. donnie mcquay guy is the son of a preacher he says his faith helps him bad the suffering that surrounds him he operates almost every day donations enabled him to purchase modern equipment today the university hospital is considered a center of excellence for treating right victims of the need for which is a real you who know the 1st woman i am operating on comes from wiley collie. she has already had 3 surgeries wasn't a whole show this will be the 4th as he looked at him into a horse from conversion to she is very traumatized. she was brutally raped version of her vagina was completely destroyed and inside she had a very serious infection and everything to do his will for sure we are cleaning

everything and will give her antibiotics and hopefully she will get better and just be home. and finally be. sure for sure. every time i operate it gives me a bit of relief so. it allows me to feel that i can make a small contribution to reduce the suffering of people to. the teeth but unfortunately i believe that as long as there is impunity here this will continue to this is. because for 20 years it has been the same people committing these atrocities too and they feel as if they can go on like this without facing any consequences for their actions is wonderful to move. so people into some circles. i think. i was. all that

was. was. i was. was was. how are you doing where do these children come from from over there. these are all friends and how false and he would also see this in his documents their father's a soldier so militias love the children they are alone and some who live with their grandparents. how are your children. what are your names up to once to measure. the more you come. to think i was. was was. was was there i. was.

i. knew it was the women and children traveled for 2 days to visit don't eat mccuaig. series for me because children from these women are a delegation from. which i treated here in 2005. they have come to see me. together with these children who were born after their mothers were raped. they were abandoned by their mothers by their fathers. though i was reluctant when the dealer for example there is. he is the leader of the right the militia or the non-local cudi is still there he's in the forest outside the village of superior. one group comes off to the next they rape

and pillage $41.00 being. the women found into an association i'm talking $200.00 all funds. if you want to become a doctor. and you. need a christian electrician wow. and you will be like you just a real be like me. i was born to live right. in your room and tell me is that why you're sitting next to me. you'll be like me. so. that means you'll become a nobel peace prize winner. so. bored i'm glad we will work together for peace we will listen to your voice thank you.

i see it's. there we share the load there was yes. there was. yes yes yes. please. yes my was their fair share. thank you that's very kind of you thank you so much notice. so it uses on form but the amount of the nice children did not ask to be born miss it but they were. killed a vision and then to a society that rejects and stigmatizes them. and society without pity some p.t. . it's good pulled through when children are treated this way from

a very young age they become traumatized is awful and have overloaded memories. sushant sareen. mommy is getting psychological treatment perhaps she can overcome the trauma in spite of her haunting memories and accept and love her child that's the i want to love the child. but i know they'll each community so that i feel that as a woman who was raped i cannot return to my village. my husband has left me he will never forgive me and he will never accept the child is dead. in panzi hospital while meenie also learns to weave and so baskets this training is an important part of the holistic treatment. as to money or encana and the other social workers want to help the women become independent so that they can support

themselves 500 children at a place and there it is. that way perhaps mommy can take care of her child without other financial assistance. and i hope that i can feed us by selling baskets. and money might be enough the medicine to go and even for school no one. but how can one mean a return to her village when militias continue to live nearby how is she supposed to overcome her fear when the perpetrators have no prosecution to fear. this is brooke carver the capital of south kivu province during the almost 25 years of war and conflict its population has grown to almost a 1000000 the german physician gisela schneider is on her way back to a tory province and the northeast it already has been particularly plagued by conflict and ebola. isn't

a horse in the end we consciously choose not to go to countries where many organizations work and we try to go where others don't go or where few stay for a longer time was in day out we're in the it to every region including in one year it means so much to people there when you come and stay they say no one else comes on to sacrifice and it. was rather that there was this ongoing conflict make it very difficult to effectively cut tail a life threatening virus a boa was a recess i could feel fine game and we're using this elbow greeting because there is a bolo in this region there have been trolls cases here which this question a lot so there should be no hand to hand contact and no exchange of bodies or their ads they started this elbow grease thing and everybody thinks it's great it's a good way to greet someone when you can't shake hands so it's great i was

there i am i to gather with rosemont. wants to establish a health insurance system in this region. i thank god that i met the people from osa. was there my child was gravely ill i had lost hope that he could get their stuff. then i found out about the health insurance i became a member and they helped my child see that. i'm happy and grateful to use their time ever was. dr mcgregor to mcgregor has shown mercy it means to really kaffir women to build something that helps women to live independently to bone i think he's a great role model and he does this with many women who have experienced violence

and i want to get fined if something happens. let them finish you're a must see for ladies and gentlemen rape is being used massively as a weapon of war. this deadly weapon destroys the body twee destroys the spirit destroys the community. and even destroys the church. all the reports of the united nations about the plundering of raw materials from the democratic republic of congo and about the serious human rights violations especially the well known mapping report all of these reports have not lead to consequences so has to sultry. the jury province is rich in oil and mineral resources hunger for these results is

fuels a national and international fight here where tribal conflicts all manipulated for economic interests. on the road from bonior to mahogany refugee tents can be seen intermittently the displaced are victims of perfidious political interests in which neighboring countries such as rwanda and uganda also have stakes. there are congolese policeman and u.n. soldiers stationed here to provide security in the region but the area covers thousands of square kilometers and large bombs on virtually inaccessible. only those who have weapons have power. their families who have not or cannot leave after living in fear every day.

congolese police officers escorted us during the film shoot but those in veritas are defenseless and exposed. many have had to abandon their fields and are now dependent on humanitarian aid. their houses were often burned down and family members killed. we drove to a village that was recently attacked by armed groups. to. the edge. was a. act

. it is located directly on the main road from banja to uganda there is no state all thorazine here most people have fled only a few have remained. in magic when i finish you feel a no boon boot they catch him least at night when i'm one of them it was on the tuesday and going to be going about by steam we were in civilian clothes and armed . others were wearing soccer jerseys line no clean the river fighting security we want to see many so then they stopped cars and drivers and passengers from their seats with them and i was there i saw it on you're terribly afraid if we hear even one shot we start running for our lives.

eternally province borders you go. manda and is twice the size of belgium many refugees live in the forests without any protection or medical care many die others make it to the capital of the province. where there are camps with tents water food medicine and most importantly protection u.n. soldiers stationed in borneo. there are over 16000 people in this camp alone most are women and children.
