ZDF/ARTE: The fight for Human Rights

On the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ZDF/ARTE highlights the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Growing populism, eroding democratic constitutional community of values, militant disputes: The core values of humanism are under threat - in Europe and worldwide. To mark the 70th Anniversary, ZDF/ARTE is scheduling programmes that focus on the Charter for Human Rights.

Highlight is the international primetime documentary of Angela Andersen and Claus Kleber “UNANTASTBAR – Der Kampf für Menschenrechte” (UNVIOLABLE), which will be broadcast 27th November, 8.15 pm on ARTE and 4th December, 8.15 pm on ZDF. Travelling all around the globe authors meet activists, victims and political decision makers, they ask about the implementation of Human Rights, but also how topical the Charter of Fundamental Rights is today and which challenges she faces.

Starting on the 26th November the ARTE reportage „RE:“ broadcasts a themed week - with stories of people that campaign for Human Rights throughout Europe (daily at 7.40 pm). Among these „heroes of Human Rights“ we tell the story of Avan Sagnet from Cameroon and his fight against wage slavery in agriculture in southern Italy and consequently also against the Mafia, against the global players of the food industry and also against the government.

These outstanding programme highlights will be accompanied by an own Social-Media-Campaign on the channels of ARTE and ZDF.
