Could you imagine having a bear as your friend? In an extraordinary bond, a massive 300-kilogram furry beast became the best friend of a Russian man.
Andrey, a pilot at an airfield, found an orphaned bear cub and named him Mansur. As Mansur grew, it became challenging to care for him due to his size and dietary needs. Returning him to the wild was no longer an option, so crowdfunding emerged as a solution. Volunteers from 16 countries collaborated to create an online reality show about Mansur's life. His bear enclosure is constantly monitored, and his activities have become a popular internet sensation.

Occupy Tower / 2015
#Venezuela
One of Caracas’ infamous landmarks is a grim, half-finished, abandoned skyscraper. Nicknamed the Tower of David (Torre de David), it once provided shelter for hundreds of low-income families with nowhere else to go.
The vertical slum operated as a commune. Squatters gathered for meetings and various activities, including cleaning common areas. Residents had a gym, convenience stores, and barbershops so they could live without leaving their tower. However, the squatters had to leave in 2014 after the government deemed the Tower of David unsafe to live in. Then, the building began to lean in 2018 after an earthquake hit.

#India
Water is increasingly becoming a commodity as precious as gold, especially in India. The country of 1.38 billion people - nearly a fifth of the world’s population - has only four percent of the world’s water resources. In regions like Punjab, the search for water is life and death.
People rely on water deliveries from other areas and dig ponds to collect rainwater. Others go as far as to take second wives so they can bring more water.
So what is it like to live a life dictated by a drastic water shortage?

Happy Never After / 2016
#UK
If you’re a Brit and married to a non-Brit, it could be difficult to bring your spouse to live with you in the UK. The British spouse must earn £18,600 a year for their other half to receive a working visa. Less than half of Britain’s population earns this much.
The laws are particularly tough on women with young children, with mums often having to choose between caring for their kids and attempting to earn enough to bring their husbands to the UK. People based outside major cities also struggle to find work that pays well enough to meet the government’s threshold.
The documentary tells stories of four couples battling the UK Home Office.

Ukraine: Heading East / 2022
#Donbass #Ukraine #notonyourtv
“You came too late. We are glad. We are exhausted.” “When were we supposed to come?”. “About 15-20 years ago.”
This is a conversation between a Russian soldier and a Donbass refugee. The Ukrainian government forces have helped their people for eight years because of differences in language, history and views. As a result, Donbass residents fled southeast Ukraine. Some of the refugees used relief corridors; others waited out for the Russian soldiers to come and help them out, and the rest chose to risk their lives and look for the exit on their own.
All of them found shelter in Russia. Russian volunteers, psychologists, and priests help the fugitives settle, out the children in school, and recover from 8 years of constant danger. Find out more about how people adjust to everyday life.
