The haulage company LKW Kovacs, where truck driver Walter works, is being digitalized. Soon worlds and world views collide. By spontaneously changing his route on the day of his daughter Jenny’s football final, Walter makes a fatal decision. With their short fiction film Walter L., which brings working-class political experiences to the screen, social scientist Paulus Wagner and film director Barbara Wolfram have sought to transform material and results from social science research into a work of fiction. The film draws on Paulus Wagner's PhD thesis at Sciences Po, which explored the links between workplace experience and the appeal for right-wing populism. The biographical interviews he conducted with manual workers in Austria and Germany inspired the film, which came out of the project Building Bridges in Polarized Societies at Film Academy Vienna / mdw, funded by the City of Vienna.

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirm - Geo News
Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirmThe killing of great whites by orcas has been reported in the waters of South Africa, California, and Australia, and the implications that the hunting behaviour would have on the marine ecosystem have been considered. In fact, it all started back on May 3, 2017, when the body of a female great white, weighing 1,100 kilograms, washed ashore in Gansbaai, close to Cape Town, with a deep gash through which its 90-kilogram liver had been extracted. Five more corpses of great whites appeared with similar wounds in the coming months, as claimed by shark biologist Alison Towner of Rhodes University. Two adult males, called Port and Starboard, who are supposed to be brothers judging by their dorsal fins that fold differently, were identified as the most probable perpetrators. The connection was officially established in 2022 based on video footage of a drone that caught three orcas chasing and biting a 3-meter great white off Mossel Bay. The sharks quickly disappeared from Dyer Island, one of the best places in the world to witness a great white.
