Any country is defined by the people who live there. Russia is a land that unites many diverse peoples. Each fulfil their mission and overcomes obstacles because the state gives them every opportunity to do so. At 17, Kamila Valieva is a world-standard figure skater and Olympic champion. Her journey began at a small sports school in Kazan. Now Kamila inspires the younger generation and teaches figure skating. This documentary is about the country that’s built on stories told by its own citizens. Prominent artists, actors, directors, athletes, and musicians open up about the factors that contributed to their success and talk about the influence their homeland has had on their success.

In the We Are Different film by RT Documentary, three people born with various genetic disorders adjust to life and find purpose and happiness against the odds. According to Konstantin Severinov, Doctor of Biological Sciences, “Genetic information is stored in DNA as a sequence of chemical letters, figuratively speaking.” The human genome contains around 6 billion of these “letters”. And every unique combination of them makes one person different from another. But when genes don’t line up as they are supposed to, it can affect appearance. Lalit from India has a condition known as werewolf syndrome. It is extremely rare, and although doctors are convinced it’s genetic, they still haven’t learned what gene mutation causes excessive hair growth or hypertrichosis. It has only been diagnosed in 50-60 people in the entire world. Lalit’s face and body are covered with thick hair. Everyone who sees him for the first time is stunned, but they change their minds when they know Lalit better. He is friends with Umesh, a social worker, who comes over to help him adjust and teaches him yoga. Lalit used to be teased and stared at, but now he sees it as his uniqueness, something that defines him.

A camp for young ‘pioneers’ called Sandowon is in the city of Wonsan, 200 km from Pyongyang, on the coast of the Japanese Sea. Every year thousands of Korean children from all over the country are sent there on vacation. A few years ago Sandowon was renovated. It now boasts a football pitch, a gym and modern residential buildings. Vouchers to the camp are awarded to A-grade students and children from the best workers’ families. In the video you can watch a solemn line-up celebrating the end of the winter session.
