The war in the Ukraine has changed the way many European countries view Russian politics. Suddenly it became clear how dependent countries had become on Russian gas imports for decades and what Vladimir Putin was up to. However, no country needs more gas than Germany. It was only after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that the German government realized that Russia had long used gas as a weapon to impose its will on states. The instrument created for this purpose is the natural gas production company GAZPROM. So how did Germany become so dependent on Russian gas? The documentary shows how, over several decades and several changes of government, a broad alliance of politicians and business representatives did everything possible to secure Germany's energy supply with cheap Russian gas, while the Kremlin's foreign policy became increasingly aggressive and the warnings of experts went unheeded.

Denominado como el "enemigo del pueblo" por el actual presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, el periodismo en Norteamérica se encuentra en horas bajas. Mentiras, "fake news" (noticias falsas), propaganda y tretas verbales amenazan con destruir lo poco que queda de honestidad en la Primera Enmienda. Mike Wallace representó durante más de cinco décadas la panacea del periodismo tal y como se concibió en sus orígenes, con un estilo duro y sin concesiones que le convirtió en uno de los entrevistadores más importantes de la historia de su país. Este documental explora su legado con la intención de recordar a las nuevas generaciones por qué el periodismo es uno de los pilares fundamentales de la democracia pese a los esfuerzos que algunas figuras públicas realizan a diario para desmentir este hecho.
