EIGHT POINT OF VIEWS - FOUR GLOBAL EVENTS - FOUR DECADES

CHERNOBYL 1986 - THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL 1989 - NINE ELEVEN - CORONA PANDEMIC 2020

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

But what is ON THIS DAY about?

Do you remember where you were on 9/11? And how did you experience the Chernobyl disaster, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the early days when Corona turned our lives upside down in 2020 and this continues until now?

ON THIS DAY is a documentary film dealing with these global events. Understandably, the Ukraine war and the associated energy crisis are in first place on the catastrophe barometer, while other cuts seem to fade next to them. However, it is striking that the political and media news tsunami triggered by the crisis has exactly the same perception pattern as other global cuts.

The flood of media and news and how we deal with it as individuals is very preoccupying for people these days. And we ask ourselves the question: Are we now so emotionally blunted by the flood of news that we can no longer really perceive, filter and classify them?

Global warming and environmental protection, the division of society, globalization, dealing with the media and the question of how far the press is allowed to go have accompanied us in almost all global cuts in the past four decades.

ON THIS DAY reflects on the global changes and effects from a personal perspective and deals with our current use of the media.
