Congo's Hell for Girls / 2022
Congo's Hell for Girls / 2022
#Congo
“The first time I was raped, I was 13 years old. There were three of them. I was scarred for life. I withdrew into myself,” confesses Falomi, a Congolese feminist artist. She attracts attention to the ongoing rape and sexual harassment problem through her performances. Her traumatic experience is familiar to many women in Congo – they have to face abusive behaviour on the streets and at home daily. Harassment is not recognised as violence, and rape is often blamed on the victim.
In Congo, there are no shelters for victims of sexual abuse, nor are there protective social institutions. Police also can’t help much. Society turns to magic rituals, which should make girls look less feminine. Witches and healers practice diverse methods to reduce the growth of breasts.
The sorcery should lower aggressive male attention. But does it?

Find My General / 2020
#Russia #France
Napoleon’s lost friend, General Gudin, finally come home to rest, after having gone missing for over 200 years in Russia, on this day in 2021.
Charles Gudin de la Sablonniere was Napoleon Bonaparte’s school friend and an acclaimed revolutionary general. He broke the Emperor’s heart when he was killed at the beginning of the calamitous 1812 Russia campaign. Gudin’s grave was then lost until, incredibly, a Franco-Russian team of archeologists found it in Smolensk, Western Russia, in the summer of 2019.
Who was this special Napoleonic General and who found his remains in Russia - in the documentary, Find My General!

How much effort does it take to save China’s bamboo-munching bears from going extinct?
The Giant Panda thrives in China's wild. The government has gone to great lengths to protect these adorable creatures from extinction. The Chengdu panda breeding center, staffed by experts from all over, ensures the safety and successful reproduction of the pandas. They provide everything from a perfect diet to Sex Ed classes for the pandas, even acting as interpreters for their language. Their efforts paid off when, in 2016, the Giant Panda was removed from the endangered species list.
Yet, challenges remain, as pandas need to breed freely in the wild without falling victim to poaching or deforestation.

Finding the Fallen / 2020
#Russia
There are a few families in the former Soviet Union that haven’t been affected by WWII. Millions of soldiers died, hundreds of thousands were missing in action. Decades later, their bodies are recovered from battlefields, woods and swamps all over Europe.
Groups of history enthusiasts look for the soldiers’ remains and try to identify them. For them, the war isn’t over until all of the dead are given a proper burial. The grandchildren of former enemies are now united by the same mission, working together to prevent history from repeating itself.

Tough Love / 2016
#Vietnam
Phuc Tong from Vietnam made an unusual pact with God. He helps pregnant women in difficult situations and tries to talk them out of having an abortion. Then, if an expectant mother can’t take care of the child, Phuc Tong raises them as his own.
When he can’t save a baby, Phuc Tong gives aborted foetuses a proper burial, so they aren’t disposed of as trash. He built a cemetery for unborn children.
Vietnam has one of the highest abortion rates in Asia. Being pregnant out of wedlock carries a social stigma.

Dark net dope deals / 2022
#Internet
Veronika was 16 when police arrested her for drug possession. Just one bag of dope was enough to get seven years in prison. After that, her mother didn’t live to see her outside.
Teenagers enter the drug business for easy money — online trade platforms on the DarkNet promise $1,500 a day for drop men. They hide drugs in stashes all over the city and send coordinates to clients. This market makes $3.6 billion a year in Russia.
Police successfully hunt down dope labs and drop men, but the internet war is yet to be won. Watch how crime and technology intertwine in Dark Net Dope Deals.
