Human & nature in harmony & conflict | The Rhine from above – Episode 2/5

Watch the other episodes of the series: http://bit.ly/RhineFromAbove

The journey along the green Rhine is the story of the inhabitants love of their river, but also of man’s arrogance and excessive belief in technology, and the unbridled force of water. It is the story of man and nature, both in harmony and in conflict. From Lake Constance, the route first takes us to Basel, we continue north past the Alsatian metropolis of Strasbourg. After 500 kms, the journey ends at the so-called “Island Rhine” near Mainz.

The Rhine has been shrouded in myth over the centuries: No other river in Europe has more stories to tell – full of desires and longings. From a bird’s eye view the film dives into the canyons of the Rhine source and at the Rhine Falls small drops of water fly past the audience so that they consider themselves right in the middle of the cascades. Panoramic shots amaze the audience all the way from Switzerland to the Netherlands. The Rhine is also one of the busiest waterways worldwide: The contradiction between industry and the urge for re-naturalization is vivid in everyday life of many of the protagonists – from the archaeologist at Lake Constance to the shepherd living in the green Rhine delta near Rotterdam.
