Rudolf Steiner's name still opens Waldorf schools around the world, more than a century after he founded the movement. This DW film traces how one Austrian thinker's ideas spread into education, biodynamic farming, and anthroposophic medicine, and why each of those fields keeps attracting both devoted practitioners and sharp critics. Interviews with historians, Waldorf teachers, and skeptics lay out Steiner's background in esoteric philosophy and clairvoyant claims alongside his genuine pedagogical innovations, refusing to settle for either hagiography or dismissal. The film asks what it means that a worldview built partly on mysticism still shapes how hundreds of thousands of children are taught, and whether that esoteric foundation feeds present-day distrust of mainstream science. Archival photographs and footage of Waldorf classrooms sit next to current interviews, giving the film a clear expository structure that moves from Steiner's biography to his present-day legacy. It lands on an unresolved tension rather than a verdict: reform and esotericism, tangled together from the start.
