the 36 years ago my parents played iran for germany in search of the fall of the berlin wall and the people overcome with joy and excitement as still a defining memory of our new home for me, it was an incredibly beautiful moment. all those people, some of them for the 1st time in their lives, truly felt free today. freedom, at least in wealthy countries, is something we almost take for granted. we can choose how we want to live. for most people around the world, that's just a dream. and it's under threat now in the west to the my name is peggy adoni. and i'm an actor. in this film, i'm going on a journey to ask. what does freedom mean in the 21st century? the

it was 3 centuries ago, the age of enlightenment began, bringing with the progress, reason and human rights. today, these achievements arteries. do we need a new enlightenment? the 21st century, the it's monday. morning onset, in hamburg. for 3 years, i've played a police investigator in a crime series. i used to be a kind of go to person for anything foreign and exotic. but now that the film industry has caught on germany is the country of immigrants. i can practically pick and choose my roles. during the french revolution,

one woman defied convention and chose her own destiny. she came from humble beginnings, bone. marie goose. she was the daughter of a put you under washable. and 1765. at the age of 17. she was married to a restaurant to who died soon off to it. some said, it was the noble lot of the man room it to be the truth father, the process of paris, where she took the name long to do. although i'm educated alone was beautiful spirited and intelligent, which both the access to the cellphones and to people of influence. she became a fixture in high society and she began to pin rushing that held up a new way to the fashionable, loopy scene. pre revolutionary elite slipped up by discussions of resolution. she became a social reformer activist for women's rights. it's odd that i don't know anything about on more than 200 years ago. she insisted women

could enjoy every freedom at a time when that was to do, did her life and her ideas end up shipping my own life, my own pass. if you look at the time of enlightenment and some of the cheap talk latest, you know, when i look at that as a woman and as a woman of color, i'm surprised when i see men and more men and more man, a large majority of the people in this world and not free. so i'm very, very skeptical about the notion of freedom, especially as people forget it by the worst, each and every human being has a dignity that cannot be taken away. is a fundamental idea of the enlightenment. on the eve of the french revolution, the people were called for freedom equality and for tennessee, this was more than a bred rise. the demands would go on to fundamentally reshape society alone to

googe attended meetings, filters, junk about clubs, and became a political activist. and a pat, so that's addressed the queen, the re entry this, she would move the traditional role of women in another pass that she encourage the team to up to case how spoken and opinion nice. she became more vehement as the resolution progressed. it was this refusal to be silent, that unfortunately helps you cite i'm going to live and on where my journey begins. our world is an upheaval, just like it was during the french revolution. and like the small country in the middle east, lebanon was once a flourishing place, which some called the switzerland of the middle east. they route was the financial hub, elegant and cosmopolitan. then came the civil war. today there are power outages,

almost every day. food prices are storing, and most people live in desperate poverty. and as if that weren't enough, a warehouse in the harbor holding ammonium nitrate exploded, leaving much of a city in ruins. the of the lebanon has one of the most, an equal distributions of wealth in the world. if society is being torn apart, something has to change the

in the french revolution, people demanded liberty, equality, and brotherhood. because those ideas are intertwined. if you demand freedom, you're also demanding fairness. but in a country like 11 on where do you even begin the heavy believe or she is don't ever told him public, that term justice like the term freedom. it's hard to define who she is, that they've just disregard all public action to be today. sort of my goal must be to achieve social harmony with at least a minimum level of contentment. for all those you almost satisfaction. i think we really need to marry a liberal of the social democratic conception of freedom. none of those freedoms are worth anything. if you don't have the material means to realize

in a place like this where the state is so weak, you need strong individuals to push for change. like do you mind i had that she was the 1st person to publish an erotic magazine in the era of world and has received countless death threats. she also founded the freedom center in bay route. this is a journalist, author, and tv. this is where the main meeting, she's also one of the most influential women in the airport. i have the chairs here, this all line. now. this is the wow. yeah. and this is wonder woman because my 2 sons think i looked like her so they keep sending me stuff. so what does he assured? see here, it says our evolution is as feminist. it's something that you have to wake up every

day. advice for me, i could do nothing without this freedom. the freedom to think the way i want to think the freedom to write whatever i want to write and obviously the freedom to be the person i want to be. i have to say 11 on we're lucky with the weather and it's also a beautiful area. yes it is. do you feel safe in this area to sleep in the sense you know when your, um, when they want to hurt you know, area say you have to know that my 1st crazy project was this magazine i used to do called just side. and it's a antibiotic magazine was arts and culture about the body in arabic, published by a woman and love and on. and that's when all the threats really horrible threats started to, to arrive. and that, that's, that's was like a turning point in my life because i thought i'm not going to let myself be intimidated,

and i'm gonna have to ignore it and keep moving forward. and you know what i learned, you start to become intimidating when you do this because they think, how come she's not scared? what's her secret? i have no 6. this is it, and i've been lucky so far. so mazda supplement a despite the threats or jumanda continues to speak out, write and publish feminist text. the streaming is the best deal also in the lice to women of france, they joined the resolution to lump the goos. going to drugs, not just to force women, she insisted should have the right to vote, hold public office own prophecy, and be financially independent. when the new national assembly issued the declaration of the rights of man and citizens,

women received no mention or lumps. patients was that an end in shop and forceful language, she turned to 17 articles of the declaration of the rights of man to the declaration of the rights of women, female citizen. she then sent it to the national assembly and to queen marie antoinette. article one woman is full and free and remains to be cool to man in rights. bicycle 10 woman has the right to mount the scaffold, so she should have to ride equally to mount the polk. 2 years later, this sentence would prove prophetic. defiance come for love, the goose is fine, the freedom is still relevant today. sting me at the fighting for equal pay for that core. walk for equal respect. so women, his opponents of society, hired is a desire to charleston and be rude. jumanda had organized the 1st feminism festival and the protected space of the also to fall saying there was plenty to talk about one more, but i had,

i didn't know we didn't was that you know, most of the opinion. but when i suggested a public floor on the topic of why we need to speak with matt and about the seminar struggles and the lease, many people are posted at 1st. and i need the model of the government as freedom and the legal rights that they are owed. and that's not only about the feminist struggle. i mean, it's about the dignity of women names and all people's kind of them. and as you said, you call yourself an angry s's or feminist. yeah. what does this mean? it means a lot of trouble. how come this became such a pass in your life where you treat this different? he has a go. i grew up in a very conservative family like ever since i was little one thing, save me from the environment where i grew up, which was the civil war,

the conservative family, the factory article society, the catholic school. and that's was really tough. what saves me war, my readings and books look safe my life. they changed me. i knew that there was something else out there and that i deserved it. what do you think? why is the female body so mystified? so to boot, i think because it's a source of power, of unlimited power, it's a, it's a body that gives life and this is a big issue. why is that body such such an obsession? in my culture, why should i be a shame? does it or hide it or protect it from the male intruder and save it for my husband, sex as one of the most google words in arabic, all we all know that, but then again, if you want to talk about this topic, you're consider uh at best goals and courageous and at worst horn

no power. women depicted in the media to minor invited the association of lebanese women in journalism to her festival. you know, i often wonder if the way that we approach feminist topics helps bring about change the story. but in the media, all we ever see all the same traditional roles for women and the man the mother who tends to everyone's needs. do you never seem to what force in politics or outside taking part in the struggle for freedom? we only see the women who get up to the sunflower seeds and go sticks about to have the people in the have a to to on your risk, which is another trouble i have like 7 talk to us with. i can not to all of them to the this is the word free them and an arabic. so i got this

a long time ago. freedom has been, has always been like the guiding lights for me. this is the one thing that i can not to be a tolerance with for decides whether you are free or not. you only you that's you up to you to decide how many people are not free, but they do not realize that you need awareness. we are born with a huge, you know, back cuz our name, our nationality, our religion, even the political views of our parents. and so many other things. and many people live their lives without deciding whether this, that they have inherited works for them or not. the self determination is the key to freedom and for people like to mana,

it's not something that just happens. but something that requires a conscious decision. anyone who makes that decision over and over again probably has more freedom than the powerful and privileged to because they never had to fight for their freedom. the for tonight and be rude. i ended up at a concert by the rapper da far once again. the topic is politics and the abuse of power. 11 on arch is the safety dog. that's probably keeping society from exploding . the

. the i think the purpose about is the truth. the artist is on the 7th of a political party or an ideology or a religion and a free, a free person is often very alarming to people who want to control people of to settling in paris alone to coach discovered the she associated with actors. and writers began to rod place on early play was difficult home tuesday or position or phone or shame. another was accepted, but then boy, cost is by the act as of the comedy fall sense $17.00, a full can symbol in me as a law took on the inhumanity of slavery. the oppression of women and the evils of racism and colonialism. and 1799. over 5 version was finally performed on stage and

was greeted with venom. an outrage, replying to one of her detractors. balloons said, there are thousands of men like you to take centuries to produce a woman like me. shortly after i return from loving on, my travels came to an abrupt and one country after another went into locked down. the corona virus shut down the entire world. what an i earnings for a film about freedom. the something i never would've imagined became our new reality. within just a few weeks, basic rights like the freedom of movement or severely curtailed the, to many people are democracies seem to weak and helpless. some felt that governments were doing too little to protect our citizens and were too slow and

chaotic and their response. others felt they were being robbed of their civil liberties. depend demik showed us how fragile our freedoms and liberties can be. so do we need to take a leaf out of the bulk of enlightenment and explore new alternatives? take a leap into the unknown the how often should i water them every other day, please don't know. clothes and our thoughts or what just solely on the water. these are no, i'll get the other ones from the balcony. so the organs are all labeled. please don't forget to they'll die. so this is where our family's money ends up. right there. we shall now still have the plan phase

before democracy. that doesn't mean we should switch the phase to some, some, some sort of china model and we should all be satisfied with what we have. ready something better. the tongue tongue by has taught at new york university and was a fellow at harvard. he studies ethical questions in public life. and right now he's to profess or a philosophy in shanghai. i grew up believing that democracy was the best of all possible worlds. i wish i could have spoken with tongue tongue by in person about his concept of social utopia, a confusion alternative to the liberal democratic order. but because of the pen demik had to join in by video call the common lesson phone and all the people of enlightenment is sell. garvin is in that will be wonderful, but a lot of people just are not able to govern themselves. well,

then maybe we should take some of their all far take away from them and give them give the power to those who are more responsible and i'm more confident. that's a fundamental confusion. believe i want to have a society where people are, are whereas equal economically. i thought to achieve that if you need to arrange for there was some form of inequality. we still preserve some form. i qualify with community, but then so you call them the days we see we flags difficult the best and brightest and give them more power in the political decision making process. their higher status can only be justified if the poor people come benefit from their government. has the world become too complex,

10 or liberal democracies respond adequately to enormous challenges like climate change or the cobra 19 pandemic is turned on by correct that his confusion hybrid system is better suited to dealing with such challenges. challenges that involve science and complex social and economic conditions. is it possible that experts might have better solutions to such problems? just like the futures that enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century imagined in their right thanks with the tongue tongue by his new confucianism remains in the realm of your theory, which he enjoys debating with a student either frequently. oh, he does have one in his office. you're locked into or 2. so what do you think about freedom unenlightened meant? how do they relate to each other? on a basic level, the enlightenment can be understood as the acknowledgment of human autonomy or a relatively radical form of self knowledge storage. that way, when i began my studies, i felt i wanted freedom either late tele realize to it wasn't that much easier if

you do whatever you want. you might break the little and deprive others of doing what they want. if i hit you, are you allowed to hit me to mean i'm not the have to be limits? so is what kind of how generous ended caught it. and that's where there are 2 kinds of freedom that you don't to use. active freedom or the freedom to do something and passive freedom or freedom from is let's see one a usually we mean the freedom to do your own thing. but in politics we tend to mean freedom from something being free of something. we don't want the, i didn't expect such a freethinking and philosophical discussion in china. being a critical thinker can be dangerous. thousands of journalists, artists, and human rights activists have been imprisoned because they're a thorn. and the i have the regime, excuse me, either some of the ton nations office, the chinese model, kathy regarded as an enlightenment model because it radically constrains and

prohibits self determination. the end of it autonomy, height, and individual freedom. i'm saying for me to this, i think when i've a impressive societies, people have a chance to say what they want. that's what they want. the beauty of reason what they don't want is tyranny, unreason so. so it may be that in spite of all the faults of the enlightenment at all, it's our goods, if you like, at its own bigger trees. but underneath that, there are these values which are very important and something very close to universe for long degrees. the 1st use of the resolution we're intoxicating friends to gain to constitution an assembly and freedom of to the fish. wines marched on the palace, cooling out and for $5.00 fee, small power stops and forcing the king to return to paris. she remained committed to republican ideals. when louie, the 16th was put on trial and resolution raced the tip to into a risk and tear off,

she was dismayed. scuffles and executioners of these then the results of the revolution that should have served as a model for the universe. she opposed to shuck of all sprain of tara, open, the attack robust and morocco and cold for a referendum on the phone with the new government. friends, she and sisters should decide but wish to be a republican, a federal ration, or a constitutional monarchy in 1793. when she went to the pond, son michelle to begin posting her latest pamphlet, she was arrested. she was brought before the revolutionary tribunal and sentenced to death the when it comes to the 2nd half of the 2nd decade or of the 21st century. i am not particularly content. this of the last few years of seeing that the rise of authoritarian populace and nationalism became in many parts of the world. and in

many ways that is a counter and light movement. solar change to post you. yes. box of fragility over society is very divided on in uh, yeah. is that something federal one side supports the current for me, the aspect of the constitution and the courts. nothing to them is not true. yes, the little got changed. the other side, places of great importance on freedom, boss, justice, and the distribution of powers. well joe, was it muffled government? in the 19 ninety's, when i was a child, it seems like democracy and freedom went hand in hand. if only but now the liberal western world seems like it's falling apart, right before our eyes. i'm on my way to poland. a place where we are watching a country and do it's hard one freedoms. bit by bit. poland was the 1st country in the former eastern bloc. that back in the 1980s

fought for co determination and freedom. nearly $10000000.00 people were part of the soley dar, nauseous labor movement. they demanded independence, freedom of the press and hiring on the basis of competence rather than party loyalty. so that i most invited to, i hope you had it for all the solely done. and those to move met spot for better living conditions for the workers and also funk for independence of the court. thoughtful of the legit model, the daughter knows i thought to allow people to joined independent labor unions of, of the voted most so word freedom was on all their banners. so the most g, e, we have the solidarity movement to think for the fact that the call for bread and freedom became a reality. that was the values of on it. james, he started that not what followed was the collapse of socialism free elections entry into the you. economic revival. liberalism had one across the board

. and now 30 years later, a nationalist conservative government is turning back the clock, reinstating the church tradition and traditional gender roles. even the separation of powers, one of the pillars of democracy is being called into question. how is it possible that the liberal democracy that the poll spot so hard for no longer appeals to have the country's population? the enlightened me to mix of but the bed is it is possible that human beings don't know how to define themselves. it is possible that if you give them a lot of freedom, they will be disoriented. they will be lost. but we should take that. but with human beings, because living with freedom gives us much more dignity than not maybe poland is losing this, that freedom demands

a lot of us. it asks us to constantly questionnaire values and norms. clear people who don't conform to traditional ideas of the family and the sexes are an easy target including for the catholic church which has chosen to join forces with the national and conservative peace government. the church in poland is all too happy to whip up controversy. the dear bishop, your president, the blood of the victims of violence against squares is on your hands. we just want to be free to love to be ourselves. that's all the money good to she and her organization londo should, should seen, are fighting for the rights of l. g. p t q i plus people. they go to all the private events in poland to help support the country's queer community. ready monica faces up to 11 years in prison for her political activism and opposition to

opponents anti abortion law. in the 1st person, i wanted to see shocking to, to, and see the power of hatred that we need to say how much we all a to and the dresser. we're going to win our freedoms are curtailed, it happens slowly. so step by step daughter, it starts when certain people are marginalized and excluded. another ones, how you go to spend 2020 local authorities in poll instead of l g b t free zone. as with the aim of excluding people, don't staff involved in the us? what starts with words ends with the international of suicide puncture not true. this place is called sony directly square after the movement which led to the end of the time to turn in system in poland and eighty's. the place where the tragic

events of december, $9070.00 started. when workers for testers, against government, and 16 people lost their lives. and this is also the place where we organize most of our demonstrations and practice. and also we started them finished our 1st prize during the time sitting down or as the pope. yeah, for the 2nd. who was the punishment? yeah, said the freedom is not given. must be taken in a fight. oh, that's right. it's without freedom. uh, there was no value when the injustice bought a piece, but they came to power. i realize that it's no longer time for fun. it's time for me to defend human rights. and it's very i ronnie from the history that we are repeating the same mistakes of, to me for,

to years. this countries can guy and a lot of these, of all the worse, what parts of the change in a piece a they were part of solidarity movement. my father and i was of the, the phone just as the, the why is that the phone, the solidity of people shifted to the other side. but i can tell from the example of my parents, i think they were really believing that they fight for freedom. uh, but to for them freedom was the to, for example, the catholics are not to say class b citizens. maybe they wanted to change that stuff. that's profound change via hub . and i'm the liberal project which was in essence. correct. and it's am,

this was an active very quickly and radically via happened in liberal relation to great and emphasis on the economic dimension of liberal instruction. and the means you does have to, i know, will succeeds on that, that ended up leading to a massive crisis. and the recession of todd ones that are very strong. in addition, a large part of our society feels that it's being ignored. we it so that, that is not respected. an aspect their dignity is under threat iphones issue in the, of the coffee. so in light them into the 21st century has to take into account 2 things. one is the power of capitalism. and it's, it's a sinister ability to turn even good things and turn us, of course, into commodities. and secondly, the unleashing of technological power that in various ways has the power to form us and form the earth, the beings id many. and poland

field also has to do with the capitalist juggernaut that followed the collapse of the eastern block. these 2 things, capitalism and technological progress are fueling each other worldwide from silicon valley to beijing. the digitalization is transforming our society and life at a breathtaking pace. algorithms make life comfortable and convenient for consumers, while others pay the price. in beijing, drunk pay is struggling to keep up with the demands of the algorithm used by his employer of food delivery service. or if you want to make a lot of deliveries quickly, you need to know where the restaurants are and know the best routes. and do you need to know if you're allowed to access the apartment building and work about 10

hours a day? the busy season, i get 60 to 70 orders a day. so now the off season, it's about $51.00 to $3.00 times. when i have to deliver 11 or 13 orders at once, i have only an hour to make all those deliveries. i'd really rather be there for one the other. you've got to watch capitalism as broad as has nothing to do with freedom. with desire. when you want something that creates green, and now you're no longer content with the bottom of freedom, but the yeah. digital capitalism likes to adopt the mantle of freedom or freedom to make the optimal choice among millions of products. it wants to diagnose and predict our wants and desires. to gian is a software developer. he and his wife, cat do, founded the dimensions start up in shanghai. it's a david versus goliath operation. their main competition, our tech giants,

such as facebook 10 cent in amazon, which stick to transform us. send our data into commodities. right. power permit. this is the capital list. so. so if you're a man of the cyber age and then they tell me, i understand it weird at the very top, you have the we are the one percent sure pages yet. i won't hold down. here are the people who are exploited by sub contractors or the monopolistic capitalist. now, the amazon careers and careers for the various restaurants on why my, the thing is i'll go the whole vocal, including even the programmer who is now sitting among them with the receding hairline, who's over 35 different adapt. it's the same all over the world in china and the united states. digital capitalism is just more advanced. there is no freedom you can find out. when you look at this picture, you start to think about how this situation could be changed out to the show and there was how can we improve the wellbeing of all classes or quote on what could we

do to ensure these people can enjoy the freedom that they deserve so much you're going to say, who are the time the sale. sushi and his wife kat are members of the open source movement, which advocates the free exchange of software and information. they've designed an application that aims to force companies to comply with local labor loss. the anti 996 movement they helped co found wants to improve work conditions in the tech industry to to 0. 996 is a particular work schedule. it means that you work from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week. mean that's 12 times 6 hours per week. it's her right there are times here on your to insure the last year in 2019 a program or made an anonymous online post saying he was in the i c u, the intensive care unit. oh, i see ocean they go. you gotta do that. if he said he was dying and helpful, our labor laws prohibit working more than 11 hours a day happen today. but there are all sorts of ways to circumvent those rules. a

little bit about you to wait for example, you might get more money to agree to longer our, to close the hotel. and in fact, most of the chinese internet companies operate like this is probably the one closer to the toner capitalism. or crated for us an iron cage. capitalism makes us, for example, of much more discipline than ever before. and this discipline, for example, in the workplace, is a, is a way for us to limit and constrain our freedom. here then what do you think this is all i think freedom is right. a human right or right we humans are born with like there's a feeling that dignity and freedom are your birthright. and so if you have the

right to self defense to the protection of private property as to personal freedom, then you also have those rights in the digital world. you know about that. if you can't protect your data on your facebook account and protect your digital currency, your cards and assets in your games, then you won't be able to protect your own soul and sense of freedom either. so age, [000:00:00;00] the, in the 21st century, freedom can involve everything from the vastness of the digital round to our most simple wants and needs. so where do we set our priorities and what price are we prepared to pay

the i'm in paris, the city where a lot to goose lived and fox. she was a woman ahead of her time, prepared to risk her life for the ideals of freedom and d quality. so why isn't that history seems to have forgotten her. why does she get hardly a mention in the text books we read at school? why is there no monument at her grace. 6 historians believe that she was buried somewhere in the catacombs of paris. in the 1970s, a historian, a woman, rediscovered along the goose and her writings in the archives of the biblical tech . now, sooner alone to do, she was most afraid to expose the wrong doings of the powerful full that she was sentenced to death from prison. she managed to smuggle out 2 last checks for

printing, including one that condemned drove his p a and his followers for love, justice and freedom waiting compatible with the terror of that sort to suppress to send on november 3rd, $1793.00 when she was just 45 years old, along to goose, was slipped past the crowd at the plus to the concord amount to discuss the phone. a report from the verdict stated, she wanted to be a statesman, and the law has punished this conspiracy as to so guessing the virtues that sewage the 6. shortly before her execution, she wrote, undaunted and with the weapons of integrity, i demand you to account for the 2 need that you exercise. i die an innocent woman. the what does freedom mean in the 21st century? that was my question when i set out on this journey, and the answer is more sobering than i had hoped. our world and the freedoms that

we are defending and fighting for have grown more complex. you might have already said freedom is easy. freedom is very hard. freedom is something you have to learn and it comes with responsibilities. absence of fear is one element of freedom. and the 2nd element of freedom would be the capacity to have your talents and your taste and your inclinations. flores. all of us have at least the basic material opportunities to develop our capacities for flourishing. and none of us will be entirely free. sometimes freedom is invisible until it's under the wrench. and that sense belonged to ghoulish, was a free woman like the many other people today who fight for freedom. as do you mind,

i had upset whether i'm free or not is up to me. that idea may well be the essence of the enlightenment. and it remains every bit as true today. the shannon was singing during the sizing. the award winning offer is available for every language and has never been set online on facebook and

youtube. our interest, the global economy, our portfolio, dw, business b on. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the flight for market dominance. this is west with dw business beyond the many portions of lots of turn out in the world right now the climate change story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work on doing flux,

this subscriber for moving is like the this is the w news. why? from berlin? israel steps up. it's round incursion in garza, the military release is new footage, showing its tanks and fruits pushing into the territory as fierce classrooms with an officer reported in the north. also coming up people and going to say there's nowhere safe to hide as international calls rover the protection of civilians. and for more ink to be led in the
