[RELEASED 2018] I'm away filming a documentary for Popular Front this week and didn't have time to get the planned episode ready in time. To avoid going a week without Popular Front I've used one of the Patreon bonus episodes to fill the void. It's the first and last time we'll do this.
We'll hear from "Abu Academic" (it's Abu salman Belarus), who claims to be former Russian special forces. He's now using the skills he claims to have learned in Russia to train HTS jihadist fighters in #Syria.

In February 2022, less than a week before the Russian invasion, we were filming in #Ukraine. We spent time with the citizen militia forces of the Territorial Defence as they prepared for the then uncertain possibility of war with #Russia.
Of course, Russia did invade. Now, the Territorial Defence, along with many other militias, have been deployed all over Ukraine. They're fighting Russian forces on the frontline of many different areas.
What we filmed quickly became less relevant once the invasion began, but we're publishing some of the interviews we did with the Ukrainian citizens that were preparing for the now active war with Russia.
This is a preview. There's much more on the Patreon, for just $5 a month.
All of this was filmed five days before the invasion.

Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters have been clashing with police and rebelling against the Chinese system in #HongKong every week since June 9th. To get an idea of who these people are, and what they're fighting for, we spent time with them on the frontlines of the protests.
This is part three of our documentary.
