    Sir Nicky
    Nicholas Winton war 1939 Börsenmakler - Investmentbanker würden wir heute sagen - bis er sich entschloss, in einer beispiellosen persönlichen Rettungsaktion 669 tschechische Kinder vor dem sicheren Tod durch die Nazischergen zu bewahren. In seinem Heimatland England findet er Pateneltern, die bereit sind, die Kinder aufzunehmen. Und Nickys Geschichte geht weiter, lebt heute aktueller denn je. Denn sein Einsatz findet Nachahmer. "Seine" Kinder - mittlerweile gestandene Mütter, Väter und Großeltern - gründen hunderte Organisationen in der ganzen Welt: Obdachlosenintiativen, Straßenkinder-Programme, Friedenscamps... Mit über 103 Jahren lebt er bis heute den Beweis und macht Mut, es ihm gleich zu tun. Letztendlich siegen Menschlichkeit und Zivilcourage. "Der größtenteils von Geretteten selbst erzählte Film arbeitet mustergültig heraus, dass es für Menschlichkeit und Hoffnung auch in dunkelsten Stunden nie zu spät ist. Man muss sich nur trauen." (Thomas Schneider, Haus des Dokumentarfilms

    Anne of Avonlea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    Following Anne of Green Gables (1908), this book covers the second chapter in the life of Anne Shirley. We learn of Anne's doings from the age of 16 to 18, during the two years that she teaches at Avonlea school. It includes many of the characters from Anne of Green Gables, as well as new ones: Mr. Harrison and his foul-mouthed parrot, Miss Lavendar Lewis, Paul Irving, and the twins Dora (sweet and well behaved) and Davy (mischievious and in constant trouble). Anne matures, slightly, but she gets into a number of her familiar pickles, as only Anne can: She accidentally sells her neighbor's cow (having mistaken it for her own), gets stuck in a broken duck house roof while peeping into a pantry window, and more. ungekürzt.
