The Limes
Boundary Wall of the Roman Empire
The limes – the northern borderline of the Roman Empire stretched from Britannia to the Black Sea. In its golden age, the antique global empire comprised an area as large as the United States today. It stretched from Scotland to Sudan and from Spain to the Caucasus. The Roman army, which counted more than 300,000 men, had to defend a frontier that was approx. 5,000 km long. But only in the north of the Empire, at the boundary line to Britannia and Germania, the frontier was continuously fortified and extended. What did that mean? Were the powerful Romans actually afraid of their Barbarian neighbours? What did this border really look like? And how was this huge borderline actually formed?

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
