HISTORY: Guardians of Heritage - Hüter der Geschichte

In the HISTORY documentary 'Guardians of Heritage', Hannes Jaenicke takes the attacks on the World Heritage Sites in Iraq and Syria as an opportunity to explore how people around the world can preserve their cultural identity. The complexity of the topic "cultural endangerment" is communicated in an intuitive way through the interactive presentation on the corresponding microsite. The clear and user-friendly structure of the site creates a digital presence that conveys knowledge in an exciting way.
