Children of the Tundra / 2013
#Russia
People living in the tundra are accustomed to a nomadic life. Their homes are ascetic, food is basic, and deers are their everything. They don’t watch TV or use the Internet. However, their children do go to boarding schools. Away from the tundra, being separated from the family is not easy: many can’t wait for the reunion. The most impatient even attempt to escape and set out on a perilous journey through the wilderness.

She is My Son / 2016
#Afghanistan
In ultra-conservative Afghan society, girls can play sports, attend a religious school and work… but only if she lives as a boy. The tradition of bacha posh, that literally translate as ‘dressed as a boy’, allows girls to enjoy the freedoms usually reserved for men. A bacha posh dresses, behaves and is treated as a boy. The documentary shows girls who live as bacha posh because they wished so themselves or their family made them.
With the Taliban back in power and a crackdown on women’s rights, the tradition can become more attractive for some families. October 11 marks the International Day of the Girl Child that promotes girls’ rights. Check out the documentary and share your views in the comments - fight for girls’ rights or pretend to be a boy?

Battle for Africa / 2023
#Africa
‘Allegedly, due to terrorist attacks carried out in Mali, Western countries came here to fight terrorism. However, the situation was deteriorating day by day: people were being killed, villages attacked, things were worsening’, says activist for cooperation between Mali and Russia Souleymane Traore. Since 2013 the French coalition tried to fight terrorism in Mali but locals saw no improvement. Africans found themselves in a desperate situation, unwilling to let the French army stay in their land. But some Malians still remember how the USSR sent them food and diesel fuel by planes and developed infrastructure during the French economic blockade in 1962.
They decided to address Russia for help and collected almost 9 million signatures of Malians requesting Russia to come to Mali and solve the problem with the terrorists. Locals say that after the French left they feel more secure and independent. Watch the Documentary to find out how Mali became the flagship of struggle for independence in Africa.

Europe Undone / 2022
#Russia #Europe
‘Look at the walls upstairs. There are cracks, and the blocks are separating. They have completely separated from the side walls’, says Dutch farmer Rixt Vellinga.
Her house has over 400 cracks and the façade of the house is badly tilted. There’ve been more than 1000 earthquakes in the area from the late 1980s, according to lead analyst at national energy security fund Igor Yushkov. A growing number of larger-scale earthquakes is caused by gas extraction from the Groningen field over last 30 years. The site had to be closed in 2022 but anti-Russian sanctions and following gas shortage led the Netherlands’ government to continue production. How can Groningen’s local citizens cope with the consequences of the energy crisis?

Once Upon a Crime: US Police Brutality / 2016
#USA
“As long as God gives me breath, I’m going to be fighting injustice... You cannot just murder someone,” says Betty Smith, whose son was murdered by Minneapolis police over a decade ago.
The unlawful use of arms and force by US police still results in thousands of people being deprived of their right to live. US law enforcement officers killed at least 100 people every month in 2022. Black people accounted for 27 percent of those fatally shot.
In Once Upon a Crime: US Police Brutality, we talk to victims’ families and search for the reasons behind police violence to see what might put an end to it.
