Raue Welten - Wilde Schönheiten
La beauté sauvage des Balkans - Saison 1
Sie ist eine der drei südeuropäischen Halbinseln und 500.000 Quadratkilometer groß: die Balkanhalbinsel. Poetisch gesehen bildet sie die geografische Grenze zwischen dem Okzident und dem Orient. Lang verschmähte, unbekannte Schöne. Vielen nicht bewusst, umspülen fünf Meere ihre zerklüfteten Gestade: Das Schwarze-, Marmara-, Ägäische-, Ionische- und Adriatische Meer. Ihr Name verweist auf ihren natürlichen Reichtum: BALKAN - "Berge mit vielen Wäldern". Tatsächlich ist die Balkanhalbinsel eine Schatzkammer ökologischer Vielfalt. Der Balkan ist allerdings nicht nur ein Faltengebirge. Vor allem besticht er durch seine unbekannte Seite: voller versteckter und unberührter Naturschönheiten, eine geheimnisvoll-archaische Welt. Noch ist der Balkan touristisch marginal erschlossen. Sein Reichtum an ungezähmter Natur ist ein Erbe, welches bis zum Zerfall Jugoslawiens nie geplündert wurde. Weder durch wirtschaftliches Wachstum noch Ausbeutung. Erst seit Ende des Bürgerkriegs im ehemaligen Balkanstaat müssen sich die Länder in der Region vermehrt um Schadenbegrenzung bemühen. Denn der Balkan will Brücke sein. Eine GRÜNES BAND EUROPAS, ein Naturkorridor zwischen den ehemals verfeindeten Staaten im europäischen Gefüge. Eine filmische Reise zum noch wilden Teil Europas - über Alpen, Seen und Meere. Gedreht in 4K. Als 6-teilige Reihe entwickelt, konzipiert und umgesetzt von Jeremy JP Fekete.
