Embora a Batalha da Inglaterra tenha sido relativamente curta - 20 semanas - para os pilotos parecia não ter fim, a simples luta pela sobrevivência impelia os dois lados. A Batalha da Inglaterra não terminou simplesmente, cessou depois que o outono forçou Hitler a abandonar a operação Seelöwe (Leão Marinho), seu plano de invasão ao Reino Unido. Somente quando o inverno se aproximou, os ingleses se deram conta de que haviam sobrevivido à batalha. Com a queda da Noruega, Dinamarca e França, em junho de 1940, a Luftwaffe ganhou importantes bases aéreas para se lançar no maior combate aéreo da história. A vitória parecia possível partindo da costa francesa pelo Canal da Mancha. As forças aéreas alemãs tornaram-se invencíveis desde a conquista da Polônia e da França; além disso, tinham o avião Messerschmitt Bf 109E, um dos mais formidáveis caças do mundo, tinham ótimos pilotos, comandados por ases da I Guerra Mundial.

A ascensão da humanidade é frequentemente medida pela velocidade do progresso. Mas e se o progresso for realmente um espiral invertido, em direção ao colapso? Ronald Wright, cujo best-seller, "A short history of progress" inspirou "Sobrevivendo ao Progresso", mostra como antigas civilizações foram destruídas por “armadilhas do progresso" - tecnologias atraentes e sistemas de crenças que servem as necessidades imediatas, mas não resguarda o futuro. Como a pressão sobre os recursos do mundo acelera e elites financeiras levam nações à falência, poderá nossa civilização globalmente entrelaçada escapar de uma última armadilha catastrófica do progresso? Com imagens poderosas e insights clarificadores de pensadores que examinaram nossos genes, nossos cérebros e nosso comportamento social, este réquiem ao progresso como conhecemos também representa um desafio: provar que educar os macacos não é uma má ideia evolucionária.

On November 30th (the date when King Karl XII died) there will usually be demonstrations by hyper-national and neo-Nazi groups, and also democratic counter demonstrations. The plot of "West Side Story" is transferred to the Stockholmian suburb Alby where many immigrants live. But the film is no plagiarism, in particular no so because many scenes have the intensive character of live transmission. The boy (Adam) belongs to a Nazi group whose racial attitude is foremost directed against immigrants with 'wrong' colour of hair or skin. The girl (Julia) belongs to a family of political fugitives from Peru. Adam and Julia immediately fall in great and reciprocal love, and there are highly emotional love scenes. Therefore Adam breaks with his group. But when his best friend is killed by Julia's brother, he kills the brother. In turn the couple is hunted by the police and Julia's relatives. Both Adam and Julia are finally murdered. The film takes no step toward reconciliation.
