Original title: Ungezähmt - Im Fluss des Lebens
Rivers can become a danger. This has been demonstrated by the flood disasters of recent years. Often because their natural course is itself endangered - straightened, channelled or dammed. This film tells of the amazing connections in a river that is still allowed to be a river of life. A river that can flow untamed and create. Here, otters, dragonflies, little ringed plovers and catfish are all links in a chain. Of life and death. There are no "disasters" in the river. As long as nothing flows in that doesn't belong there and destroys the natural balance.

Ungezähmt - Im Fluss des Lebens
2024
Rivers are one of the most endangered habitat types, where the decrease of biodiversity has been exceptionally rapid in the last few decades. At the same time, the awareness about the degraded state of European rivers is very low. In this film, the story in the visual language flows like a river, taking the viewer to the smallest inhabitants of the rivers, but also further away from river shores, stressing the long-reaching impact of rivers and streams to the land ecosystems. When in a good ecological state, rivers connect habitats and food webs. The skillful presentation of this message supports better protection of our flowing waters.
