Where do we as humans find ourselves on the scale: are we nature's--our world's--protectors or its destroyers? In expansive film theater images we will enter the wild animals' cosmos. In one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe--the German, Austrian, and Swiss Alps--we will pose this question to humanity on the basis of the condition of the forests, their owners, the wild animals, their hunters, and the farmers in the cycle of the seasons. And then we take a closer look at Canada, where we learn about the Alonquin Indian Nation Hunters and their relationship towards animals and nature.

Who Owns Nature?

At the beginning of 1979, after more than 30 years of collective repression, a dramatized and emotional US television miniseries ensured that the German population was suddenly reminded of the terrible Nazi crimes against the Jews. What is now expressed with the hitherto unknown word Holocaust, hits many millions of people in the heart. The unexpected echo and the audience reactions were fierce. Even before the TV broadcast neo-Nazis blasted in vain transmitting towers in Germany to prevent this. From the creation and the shooting over the broadcast to the tremendous reactions, documentary filmmaker Alice Agneskirchner tells the story of this emotional television event, which led to a paradigm shift in the perception of German Nazi crimes.
