  5. Our deepest thanks to Jim Pilger, documentary filmmaker and tireless shiner of spotlights on the horror of Australian politics and politicians and stupidity that still make up Australian society to this day. “we are civilized and they are not” white Australians said. Back in 1962. Not much has changed and it’s exactly the other way around. And thanks viewers for watching this documentary. Spread the word.

  6. The Divide tells the story of 7 individuals striving for a better life in modern-day US and UK - where the top 0.1% owns as much wealth as the bottom 90%. By plotting these tales together, we uncover how virtually every aspect of our lives is controlled by one factor: the size of the gap between rich and poor. You know what I find really bad? The most useless professions get paid the most. And essential workers, the jobs that are crucial to a functioning society get paid for sht. Why? Haven’t we learned anything from the pandemic? It’s back to business as usual. Grrrr.

  8. We follow Dr. Goldberg on a busy Friday evening in the trauma center. In the space of 12 hours, she’ll treat three gunshot victims and perform emergency life-saving surgery on one of them. And since 80% of gunshot victims survive in Philadelphia, Gun Shot Wound gives an authentic look at the daunting process of rehab and often permanent disability. Meanwhile, Dr. Joseph Sakran shares his day-to-day experience treating gunshot victims in Baltimore and introduces viewers to Brandon Fisher. Brandon arrived at the trauma bay nearly dead with 13 bullet wounds and injuries in almost every cavity in his body. It took a multi-disciplinary team of surgeons and more than 15 surgeries for Brandon to recover.

  10. How is it possible that North Korea, one of the poorest countries on earth finances a nuclear weapons program large enough to challenge the USA? The answer: Bureau 39, a legendary organization nestled deep inside the government apparatus. Its aim is to procure foreign exchange by any means possible to provide Kim Jong-un's regime with money.

  11. Never in all its history has America been so obese. 160 million Americans are severely overweight. Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are trying to find new, more efficient and more aggressive treatments for this illness. The rising obesity crisis has given momentum to the relatively new movement of body positivity. Through lucrative social media accounts, popular magazine covers and even successful 'Miss Plus' beauty pageants, overweight Americans are learning to flaunt their curves and love themselves no matter their size.

  12. Sixty years of producing standardized fruits and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on the nutritional content. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron. Take the tomato. Through multiple hybridizations, scientists are constantly producing redder, smoother, firmer fruit. But in the process, it has lost a quarter of its calcium and more than half of its vitamins. The seeds that produce the fruits and vegetables we consume are now the property of a handful of multinationals, like Bayer, and Dow-Dupont, who own them. These multinationals have their seeds produced predominantly in India, where workers are paid just a handful of rupees while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros. A globalized business where the seed sells for more than gold. According to FAO, worldwide, 75% of the cultivated varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years. Loss of nutrients, and privatization of life, reveal the industrialists’ monopoly over our fruits and vegetables.

  13. There are now more billionaires in India than there are anywhere else in the world, excluding China and America. From glitzy Bollywood weddings and luxury yachts, to building gigantic towers and palaces and holidaying around the world, these new Maharajahs compete with each other to spend more. Although the majority of Indians live below the poverty line, these select billionaires live off of the riches of the country's growing economy. Not only do we follow the glamorous side of this high life, but we also uncover how many are getting away with tax evasion and money laundering. We immerse ourselves in the lives of billionaires with very different profiles: from rich heirs to the self-made men. What difficulties do they face in getting to the top? During this 6-month long investigation, we infiltrate this tightly knit circle of India's new billionaires.

  14. This is a topic I knew nothing about. Absolutely nothing. I know a little more now. And that’s a good thing. Hope you get more insight. I won’t say: enjoy because this is harrowing nevertheless so important. I sincerely hope all who need it, get the help and support they deserve. Reach out if you need help. Please. And if you hear someone crying for help, go for it. Help.

  19. What if medical cannabis could be a cure for most severe diseases, such as cancer or AIDS? As a matter of fact, molecules inside marijuana are now at the center of medical research around the world. There are more and more scientists, doctors, and psychologists encouraging the therapeutic and controlled use of cannabinoids for specific treatments. While in France the use of this plant remains strictly illegal, the Israeli government authorized the production, sale, and utilization of medicinal cannabis - in order to cure serious illnesses. Several federal states of America have been legalizing it. In some states like Colorado, children and adults suffering from epilepsy crises or multiple sclerosis can find some relief thanks to this special drug. This has created a new form of internal migration - "the medical displaced". Even more promising, Spanish researchers have just discovered and tested how cannabinoids can kill cancer cells in laboratory mice.

  20. In the late Spring 2020 - in the midst of coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and U.S. presidential nomination coverage - mainstream media outlets reported that the anarchic "hacktivist" network Anonymous was back after several years of relative quiet. "We will be exposing your many crimes to the world," a masked messenger told the Minneapolis police department in a clip that went viral, captivating millions of young viewers. "We are legion. Expect us." This pivotal moment is the perfect time to unveil The Face of Anonymous, a verite journey into the world of Commander X, one of the most iconic, divisive, and outspoken figures in the history of the international online movement. Now living in exile in Mexico, Commander X is ready to tell his own remarkable story and to reveal not just the How but the Why of Anon's modus operandi.

Fleeing from violence they became trapped in a vicious circle of poverty, made worse by delays in Universal Credit payments. Despite all this, Courtney remains optimistic and resilient. In rural Suffolk, 15-year-old Danielle’s life was turned upside down following a breakdown in her parents’ relationship and subsequent loss of their jobs.

  23. In 2019, 43 million people in the United States lived below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years before. 1.5 million children were homeless, three times more than during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Entire families are tossed from one place to another to work unstable jobs that barely allow them to survive. In the historically poor Appalachian mining region, people rely on food stamps for food. In Los Angeles, the number of homeless people has increased dramatically. In the poorest neighborhoods, associations offer small wooden huts to those who no longer have a roof. It’s not getting better. It seems to be getting worse.

  24. Two young American Jews - Simone Zimmerman and Eitan - are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on 'the other battlefield:' America's college campuses. When they witness Israel's mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken. Simone and Eitan join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel's centrality in American Judaism, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children.

  25. We live in the United States of Surveillance – with cameras positioned on every street corner and much more invisible spying online and on the phone. Anyone paying attention knows that privacy is dead. All of this is not happening by accident – well-funded powerful agencies and companies are engaged in the business of keeping tabs on what we do, what we say, and what we think. To many in the world today, the face of America also has a big nose for sniffing and sifting mountains of data – phone calls, emails, and texts. And with many mouths silenced by paranoia to keep what they decide is secret, secret.

  26. Once a nation that embraced multiculturalism, the Danish government, under pressure from far-right discourse, has recently passed laws persecuting those who do not conform to their social ideal. The state tracks down illegal migrants, men, women, and children, and confines them to detention centers pending deportation. The country’s latest project in dealing with arrivals has been to place them on an island. Between a model of tolerance and an identity crisis, is Denmark becoming a nation of two minds?

  30. Hello everyone! We've noticed a reoccurring topic amongst our commenters on this documentary and I would like to address it here and now: Free Documentary was created with the desire, the wish, and the belief that everyone should be able to watch top-quality documentaries. The founder of FD wanted everyone to have the same chances. Documentaries are opening people’s eyes to the wonders of our world by educating us about how people live on the other side of the world, to understand how our global histories still matter today. On YouTube, potentially disturbing imagery (guns being pointed at another person, dead bodies, etc.) must be blurred. In our opinion, the trade-off for unrestricted access is worth it. In the context of the documentaries, we believe the horrors of war, gun violence, of killings, are still powerful despite some blurring. We know not everyone is in agreement here - and we totally respect that - but in life, one has to compromise. So it’s the choice of having some blurs but still with all the complete uncensored spoken information versus not showing, for example, a WWII documentary at all. We apologize to those who are frustrated by this measure but we assure you that we only do so in order to comply with YouTube's moderation guidelines. Free Documentary will always stand for the values of open and accessible information.

  31. It used to be that these gated communities were home only to super-rich Americans but now they’re appearing across the globe and are shaping new residences of the future. Over in Marseille, security-conscious real estate owners have petitioned the City Council to erect barriers and close off entire neighborhoods. The first gated community has opened in Sofia, Bulgaria. But as more and more people take refuge behind walls, will the remaining public space be turned into a giant ghetto? Personally, I think it sounds horrible living in a place everyone is generally a ..well, fill in the blank yourself.

  36. I just came across this: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more." See and that's what rich people are not: grateful. They're greedy because they can't ever have enough money. It's kind of like an addiction. Except nobody calls it that because everyone is in awe of monetary wealth as opposed to wealth of the mind, heart, and soul. Anyways, wanted to add that here. I think it fits.

  41. Who knew. The church is into coverups. It is just beyond me how sending pedophile priests to other obscure places is okay. Or rather, how anyone of a faith that professes love and kindness and all the other things thinks that’s okay? They actively endanger child. It’s so reprehensible I have no words.

  42. The world’s most consumed fruit has an untold story. The industrialization of the humble tomato preceded the globalized economy that was to follow. It is now as much of a commodity as wheat, rice, or petrol. The tomato’s ability to create strongly identifiable products, such as ketchup, pizza sauce, soups, sauces, drinks, or frozen dishes is unbeatable. As early as 1897, ten years before Ford started to mass-produce cars, Heinz was already converting tomatoes into standardized cans of puree. They were one of the first companies to understand the power of branding.

  45. From 2008, Hamas smuggles weapons into Gaza through tunnels from Egypt, which are central to the conflict with Israel. Children, like 14-year-old Said, dig these dangerous tunnels every night, working tirelessly in unbearable conditions. There are risks of collapse, gas attacks, electric shocks, and bombings. Despite the dangers, the tunnels are crucial for importing goods into Gaza, serving as a vital resource. However, the profits mostly benefit others, leaving the young laborers feeling exploited. Despite earning money to support his family, Said is painfully aware that each trip into the tunnel is a risk to his life.

  50. Sometimes, it seems (if you go down that road) like some sort of master plan to keep the masses dumb, sick and desperate so that the evils at the top can continue to sell their mediocre products, w/entertainment keeping us appeased to a certain extent. I mean, to a certain extent it seems to be exactly the plan - whether intentionally (doubtful ) or they just realized "hey this is working out pretty good for us, let's just carry on" I dunno. Fact, there's enough for everyone to live a dignified healthy and educated life. Why isn't it working?

  51. 119 million people in Europe live under the breadline today. How could this happen? The reality of deprived children, unemployed young adults, and indigent workers spreads all around the Union.

  52. This film explores these questions with visionaries including Nick Bostrom, author of Superintelligence, Hiroshi Ishiguro, developer of his own uncannily realistic clone Geminoid; Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human; Ben Goertzel, founder of Singularity.net who coined the term Artificial General Intelligence; and Deepak Chopra, who is creating his own A.I. mind twin. These visionaries see humanity advancing toward a new age of post-biological life, a world of intelligence without bodies, immortal identity without the limitations of disease, death, and unfulfilled desire. As scientists at the forefront of technology show that a world where humans and machines merge isn’t so far away, we have to ask ourselves will AI be the best or the last thing we ever do?

  53. The documentary also ventures beyond the coal mines to uncover the lesser-known sides of this Appalachian state - from snake-handling Pentecostal churches to the bluegrass and mountain ballads of Alan Cathead Johnston. We also speak with Sheriff Martin West, who sued the country’s three biggest pharmaceutical makers for their role in the opioid epidemic that has swept the region. And we meet another person who has decided to fight back: Maria Gunnoe, a young Cherokee activist who has dared to take on the coal barons that are ravaging the beautiful mountains of West Virginia.

  57. and I understand there are many injustices in the world. Sadly. But in my opinion, the injustice against Aborigines is especially egregious: while you can’t change the awful history, you can at the very least admit it, acknowledge it and act accordingly which would be to pay reparations, and make sure people don’t live in squalor along with the cockroaches that crawl in children’s ear ffs.

  59. This documentary investigates who is behind Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide. It traces attacks in Paris, Brussels, Madrid, and London to a lesser-known group, Lashkar-e-Taiba (Army of the Righteous), which is closely linked to Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI. The documentary suggests that ISI officials, who are also partners of Western intelligence agencies, are behind many attacks. Western countries, including the US and Europe, fund ISI to infiltrate terrorist groups, but the money is allegedly funneled to terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, leading to more attacks. This cycle raises questions about whether Western intelligence is unintentionally fueling terrorism. The investigation explores the complex relationship between Western nations, Pakistan, and global terrorism.

  60. Alice, Kenton, Bucky, and Rachna are hidden victims of the chemical industry in towns in India and the US. These areas, dominated by plastic and pesticide companies, have seen decades of corporate influence in local infrastructure and employment. In the late 1960s, a US company secretly tested Dioxin, a highly carcinogenic product, on prisoners and released it into a nearby stream. In West Virginia, groundwater was contaminated with C8, used in Teflon, causing serious health issues among residents, and leading to a lawsuit involving over 3,500 people. In Bhopal, India, pesticide residue in drinking water has heavily disabled thousands of children. Despite efforts to cover up these tragedies, this documentary exposes the extent of contamination through scientific studies and confidential documents, highlighting the victims' fight for accountability and justice.

  63. In the South China Sea and the Pacific, the Chinese Communist Party has been pursuing a strategy to undermine American influence for the past decade. Relying on the active participation of maritime militias - fishermen trained by the military - China is creating a grey area between war and peace that destabilizes both its neighbors and the world's leading military power. As soon as he came to power in 2012, Xi Jining clearly stated his ambition for a national renaissance. He will combine this with the construction of a powerful army and a certain vision of Chinese territory, which includes the reunification of Taiwan. In this quest, control of the oceans has become a crucial issue, and America an obstacle.

  65. Waste is the nuclear industry’s Achilles heel – and its worst nightmare. Proposals to relaunch nuclear power, after most European countries had decided to abandon it, have rekindled the debate between its supporters and opponents. At the heart of the matter is everyone’s fear of radioactive waste. Populations are afraid of it and scientists still have not found a satisfactory way of dealing with it. Meanwhile, the heads of the industry try to reassure us and politicians avoid the issue. What exactly do we know about nuclear waste? How can citizens get a clear picture of a subject that has always been shrouded in secrecy? By doing an international investigation and going to different countries (France, Germany, Russia, USA), this film aims to provide a worldwide overview of the nuclear waste topic. This “quest for truth” about nuclear waste, makes shines a searchlight into the darkest corner of nuclear power, endeavoring to provide everyone with the keys they need to understand the choices involved and their implications for the future of mankind.

  66. One of the more staggering trends in ophthalmic care has been the rapid global rise of myopia, also called nearsightedness. The prevalence of myopia exceeds 28% globally, and there are projections that approximately half of the world’s population, or five billion people, will have some degree of myopia by 2050. With the increase of myopia worldwide, it is concerning that an estimated 10% of the world’s population, or more than 700 million people, do not receive adequate therapy. This documentary takes a look at this worrying trend.

  68. 'Erasing Hate' chronicles a film that takes viewers inside the dark world of racist skinheads, yet offers hope with the story of one man’s struggle to escape from a life of addiction, bigotry, and hatred. ‘Erasing Hate’ is a remarkable story of transformation and redemption. In early 2009, Bryon Widner’s face, neck, and hands were covered with intimidating, racist tattoos. It was then he began a series of painful and extensive laser tattoo removal procedures – twenty-five treatments over the course of more than a year and a half. But the tattoo removal was just the outward sign of an inner transformation.

  69. yeah, sorry that's just bs. Sorry. These aren't the pioneer days anymore. Here's the thing: if no one had a gun (or very few like, for example in Europe) then you defend yourself by screaming, calling the cops, pepper spray, a karate chop, etc. That all works. But of course, so many have a gun you worry they'll shoot you so you shoot first. Or something like that. The results we hear about regularly.

  71. Once a small minority, Chinese nationals now make up Afghanistan's biggest group of expatriates. When the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, most foreigners and multinational companies had already packed up and left Afghanistan. Going against the stream of foreigners fleeing the country was a group looking for "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunities: Chinese entrepreneurs. Despite the ongoing unrest, an economic crisis and United Nations' concerns over human rights, more Chinese citizens are joining the country's "gold rush".

  73. FAT tells the far-fetched but completely true history of how our country became so unhealthy. In 1970, just over 1. 5 million people had been diagnosed with Diabetes in the United States. Now over 30 million have Diabetes. What's even more alarming is that 100 million people, 1 in 3, have Diabetes or are Pre-Diabetic. This is not to mention the 40% of the population that are obese. How is this possible with the non-stop flow of new diets, exercise machines and our general obsession with health and weight loss? We're as unhealthy as ever. The truth is that we have pretty much had everything completely upside-down and backwards. FAT traces a detailed history spanning 150 years to show how misinformation and outright lies have become "truth.

  74. By 2050, 30% of Bangladesh will be underwater. One in three inhabitants, some 60 million people, are threatened by marine flooding. No other country in the world is so at risk from rising waters. The main culprit: global warming. To the south, in the Ganges delta, the salt water that invades the land has disrupted the entire economy of the region. Many farmers have had to convert their rice paddies into shrimp farms, which are much less profitable. The country is also threatened from within by its gigantic rivers. The melting ice of the Himalayas and heavy monsoon rains are dangerously increasing their flow. Every year, the rivers burst their banks and tens of thousands of homes are washed away. Every year, nearly 15,000 children drown in the rising waters. Due to all these natural disasters, Dhaka, the capital, is facing a massive influx of climate refugees. Having lo

  76. Disclaimer: This documentary was filmed one month before Biden's election. [And please let’s try and be respectful out there. Thanks.] Donald Trump has imposed his own pace, provocative style, and agenda, and the world experienced his four years in office at full throttle. Every day a new controversy crowded out the previous one, to the extent that it was hard to grasp what was really at stake. What if the time had come to watch the film once again at a normal speed?

  78. When King Juan Carlos paid an estimated $60,000 to kill an elephant in Botswana, it caused a major political scandal. The shooting of Cecil of the Lion provoked headlines all over the world. But despite the global outrage, hundreds of Westerns come to South Africa every year to kill wild animals. In this film, we investigate the safari tourism industry.

  82. first of all, clawing your way out IS hard but you did it so awesome job! And continued strength to keep at it. I would like to say that yes, many politicians are incompetent but we keep voting for them. Why do so many Americans vote against their economic interests? I do NOT get it.

  83. It must be so hard to stick with it. Wow. My deepest respect to anyone who is able to see it through and to those struggling - never give up and just keep at it.

  85. Despite its glamorous image as the American capital of billionaires, Dallas faces significant inequalities. Laurent, a helicopter pilot with the prestigious Dallas Police Department, patrols the city's impoverished southern areas. Here, one in five residents lives below the poverty line. The area saw 136 murders last year, and drugs, especially crack, are rampant. Additionally, Dallas is home to "Tent City," the largest slum in America, where thousands of homeless and deprived individuals live in substandard conditions. From ghettos to billionaires’ villas, we look into the heart of the ever-merciless city of Dallas.

Go behind the positive veneer of social media, communication apps and platforms that have made our lives easier and more connected, and you'll find criminals using the same apps and platforms to run illicit and dangerous activities. Various crackdowns have happened over the years but has it helped?

Terri and Richard's is the size of a bus, complete with made-to-measure marble kitchens and bathroom, extendable surfaces and heated toilet seats. It cost over $2 million but enables them to escape the heat of Florida every summer for Michigan. They're what's known as 'snowbirds, spending seasons living in other states. Over a million Americans have adopted the 'nomad' way of life. Some, like Richard, are 'part timers', travelling for a few weeks alongside their work. Others, like, Jennifer and JR, who live aboard their bus with their two children, have left their old life behind and embraced life on the road.

  93. a fairer society. The wealthy have to pay their fair share of taxes. Universal health care, better education - all that is funded from taxes. It’s not an easy path and certainly not a quick fix. I don’t know if it will ever happen in the USA. People are so paranoid about “socialism” i don’t know.

  94. Shadows of Liberty is a 2012 British documentary film directed by Canadian filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay. The documentary examines the impact of corporate media and concentration of media ownership on journalism and the news. It is based on the book The Media Monopoly by Ben Bagdikian. It features interviews with journalists, activists, and academics, including Amy Goodman, Danny Glover, Julian Assange, Dan Rather, David Simon, Norman Solomon, Robert Baer, Roberta Baskin, Robert W. McChesney, Daniel Ellsberg, Chris Hedges, Deepa Kumar, and Kristina Borjesson.

"Of course, we can't be sure. Conformity is really part of our [make-up]. We are social beings. For centuries and for thousands of years, we have learned to stay with the group... that is why it is very hard to identify those moments in your life when, for a change, you should not go with the group but do something different, listen to your own beliefs and morality."

  96. Not every rich person is horrible. Some do a lot of good. I'd still rather that wealth was more evenly divided so that people can determine themselves what to spend their money on as opposed to being dependent on philanthropy.

  97. What happens to a mother of eight when she finds out that the admired rabbi, teacher of her three sons, has been sexually abusing all of them for years? When the boys reveal themselves to us we realize the magnitude of horror they suffered. We follow them on the difficult journey leading up to the end of the trial. In this community, people shy away from cameras. Here, they give their testimony as it has never been seen or recorded before. Ornit, a 42-year-old ultra-Orthodox woman leading a quiet life, becomes a hero against her will when she has to face her sons' abuse. Together, they sued the offender and went through grueling legal proceedings.

  99. It's the great English paradox. If the country has a historically low unemployment rate of 3.6%, poverty is breaking all records. Today, more than 15 million Britons are considered poor. That's almost a quarter of the population. Galloping inflation and the explosion of energy costs in recent months have forced millions into poverty. We went to meet England's working poor, the working poor, all forced to rely on solidarity to survive. From Blackpool, a seaside town in the north-west plagued by poverty, to the green county of Cumbria on the Scottish border, one of the most rural in the country, where public transport and services have become almost non-existent, via Ashton -under-Lyne, a factory town paralyzed by the absence of economic prospects.

Narrated by Robert Webb, for the first time in its 70-year history, one of Britain's biggest pet food factories opens its doors, and from raw ingredients to the finished product, it's a mind-blowing journey into a 24/7 operation where the latest pet products are researched, developed, and manufactured. Join the staff of more than 1,000 animals and 250 humans -including top trainers, scientists, and nutritionists-as they measure meat chunks by the millimeter and even taste the latest recipes themselves. It's all in a day's work. And you thought this was going to be from the dark side. Nope. Happy animals, happy pets, happy people 😀

  106. FAT: A Documentary 2 is the sequel to the international sensation that delves deeper into the lies and myths surrounding the age old question: "What should I be eating?" "Common knowledge" regarding healthy eating has grown more and more confusing seemingly by the day. Vinnie Tortorich and a host of health experts talk about the conflicts between plant eaters and meat eaters and how hidden machinations in the food industry are the reasons why we believe what we do about food and optimal health.

  107. Every year, American police officers kill around 1000 people. 20 times more per head of population than in France and 60 times more than the UK. Today more than ever, the American police force is feared by those it is supposed to protect. The police position has hardened, as they employ more and more drastic techniques - riot gear, assault rifles, armored vehicles. This over-militarization is no accident. For years, US police stations have been accumulating military equipment from the « 1033 program», created by the Pentagon to transfer excess military equipment to civil law enforcement agencies.

Putin says he wants to make it into the San Francisco of Russia. Luxury casinos are mushrooming everywhere but it's also home to a large military base.

  110. here's the thing: the only way for the super-rich - as individuals or hugely profitable corporations to get as rich as they are: on the backs of people working for peanuts. That's the only way. And yes, it is a 21st-century form of slavery. You aren't 'owned' but you are because you don't have the means to do anything other than consume fast food and cheap stuff. You as the bee worker at the bottom are stuck.
    44
  111. Slavery exists despite the fact that it is illegal everywhere. Today, there are more slaves in the world than at any given point before in history. Trafficking, child labor, debt slavery, and child soldiers are among the most common forms of modern slavery.

  113. Chinese president XI Jinping has named it the 'project of the century! Since 2013 China has invested billions into bringing the 'Middle Kingdom' to the forefront of global economics and international politics. What China calls 'The New Silk Road' allows a pair of trainers to be transported by train from China to France in less than two weeks. But they also act as a vehicle for a wave of Chinese expansionism across the world. Chinese businesses are swooping down on all African markets, hoping to make the continent one of the new workshops of the world.

  115. It seems that is something that connects a lot of mega-rich people: a certain incorrigableness. Plus, let's be honest: society shows such groveling deference to rich people - no wonder they think (and do) get away with anything.

  116. Many of you will know this documentary nevertheless many will not have seen it yet. A repeat viewing won’t hurt either as we still are eons away from solving the problem. My question: do you still buy water in a plastic bottle? If you live in Flint MI (and similar) obviously you’re exempt. But everyone else? I’m watching you

  123. Unhinged: Surviving Jo’burg is an honest, quirky, and sometimes frenzied documentary about Johannesburg, South Africa’s biggest city and the world’s gateway to Southern Africa. With rapid narrative, dry humor, trivial factoids, insightful observations, and a highly enjoyable soundtrack, the film tells a slice-of-city-life story. It’s a personal video snapshot of today’s city, providing a unique opportunity for viewers to get a glimpse inside a place that the world has a very fuzzy sense of. I loved this one. It’s different and yeah, pretty rad. Let us know what you think! Enjoy!

  124. Developed by the US Army after Vietnam to combat malaria in troops, Mefloquine became available to the public in the 90s. In the following decades it became known for its serious psychiatric side effects. Questions about why it has been so widely and easily dispensed have been raised for some time. The director's personal investigation seeks to understand why those affected have been left in the dark for so long. In doing so he uncovers some surprising truths about the powerful players involved in this controversial story.

  127. Disclaimer: This documentary was made before the uprising of the Wagner Group and before the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin. What now for the Wagner Group and leader Yevgeny Prigozhin? For the past 14 months, Russia’s rare military successes were not achieved by the regular army, but by the militiamen of the Wagner commando. They accounted for a quarter of all Russian combatants on the frontline and took part in the toughest fighting. To understand this essential link in the Russian military system, we obtained the testimony of three mercenaries who fought in Wagner’s ranks. They give an insider’s account of how the intelligence services trained and equipped the first fighters. They also provide valuable information about the feared founder of the militia, Dimitri Outkine, an admirer of the Third Reich and Nazi ideology.

  129. Unknown to its hundreds of millions of consumers is that most of the luminous and glittery cosmetics are made with "dirty mica", extracted using antiquated methods, close to slavery, in one of the poorest regions of the world: Jarkhand, India. Here, under the constant threat of landslides and toxic dust, children dig through the earth with their bare hands. It’s time we found out and demand changes. It just can’t be that we can 3D print a Mars landscape but cannot make cosmetics without exploiting and killing children. Seriously people.

  135. Scientologists follow the teachings of a former bestselling Science Fiction author, L. Ron Hubbard. They believe in reincarnation and undergo extraordinary practices to gain enlightenment. Scientology is also an institution plagued by headline-grabbing scandals when former members go public about their experiences with the sect. While it is recognized as a religion in some countries, others consider it a dangerous cult. How does this organization, often convicted of fraud, manage to recruit and retain followers? What are its beliefs? Who was L. Ron Hubbard, its charismatic proto-messiah? How did Scientology become a recognized religion in the United States? And what influence does it have in France? Join experts and former high-ranking scientology members as they unmask one of the most powerful self-proclaimed religious organizations on the planet... the church of scientology.

But they can’t. And it’s up to the ones who make an effort to know what’s really going on, to spread the word. We aren’t going to bring down these huge corporations but we can make it harder for them and hold them to some standards. Anyways. You all here watching are awesome because you’re the reason the world hasn’t gone completely down the toilet.

  143. There are almost 70,000 homeless individuals in the city of New York alone and housing them in hotels costs much more than paying their rent in apartments. Placing homeless families in hotel rooms is illegal because they need to have a kitchen and they don’t have all the necessary appliances and services for them to live in. Because of that, the different communities go out to the streets to rally against Mayor DiBlasio’s decision, and to demand a fair solution to the homeless problem in their areas. Many of the residents complain about the increase in the crime rate in their area. Having a revolving population coming into their neighborhood doesn’t give the residents of the area a sense of safety. The residents of the area claim that “You’ll never know who lives next door” It is known that in these shelters there are ex-convicts, drug addicts, and sex offenders who are placed in family shelters and near schools because of the lack of screening when placing the homeless in these facilities. Many of the homeless decide to live on the streets because the shelters are not safe and it can cost them their lives. As a consequence of that, many homeless people die on the streets because of the cold weather and other dangers that they are exposed to outside. Government officials like Senator Anthony Avella and Senator José Peralta talk about the causes of homelessness and the reactions that their respective communities have towards the homeless problem. They agree that the solution is to have the communities involved in the betterment of the homeless problem. However, community leaders are not happy with the idea of dealing with the homeless. Nonprofits step into the problem to collaborate in the hard mission of providing food, clothing, and shelter to the ones in need. Their effort is good to help certain communities but it is not enough to satisfy the great demand for help. As everyone continues to look for a solution to homelessness, our invisible neighbors the homeless are taking over parks, train stations, hospitals, and even the underground.

  147. The US army, with nearly 1.5 million soldiers and a $700 billion budget, is the world’s most powerful military, active on all continents and responding to domestic emergencies. However, its size doesn't always ensure success, as seen in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Special forces soldiers are regarded as legends, and the Best Ranger Competition tests the top candidates over three challenging days, featuring Joshua and Ryan. Eighteen-year-olds Owen and Carter are drawn to military recruitment for free healthcare and scholarships, especially amid rising health insurance and college costs. At Missouri's Military Academy, students follow a strict routine, with parents investing $34,000 annually for future opportunities. Former Navy Seal Eli Crane runs a successful business crafting bullet bottle openers, attracting high-profile clients. Yet, many veterans feel abandoned, with around 6,000 suicides annually and others, like Zook and Hog, grappling with PTSD.

  148. Guantánamo Bay, and then what? After 13 years, a 38-year-old Palestinian named Muhammad is released from the notorious detention camp, where he was starved, tortured, and humiliated. He gets the chance to start a new life in Uruguay, where he’ll get a home and welfare money. He has two years, then he’ll be on his own. We follow Muhammad, a calm and very devout man, as he goes about his daily life, starting with his arrival in his new homeland and continuing until the end of the two years. He studies Spanish, learns to drive, prays, takes courses, calls his mother, and together with his Uruguayan wife looks for clothes for the baby they’re expecting. He’s resigned as he grapples with the local bureaucracy, but his eyes speak volumes.

  149. Despite being an officially secular country, religion is everywhere in the United States. 70% of Americans are Christians and the majority of them voted for Trump. Evangelicals mobilized in their masses to get Donald Trump elected and they similarly geared up to do the same in the most recent election. Evangelicals have even created their own Bible-themed attractions, boldly rewriting the science books to educate their children. In Kentucky, an actual-size Noah's ark has been built along with a museum that supports the theory that the universe was created in just six days. In this documentary, we dive into the religious world inside the United States.

  152. The most important pillar of democracy is under attack: civil society. Where populists and autocrats rule, civil liberties, government critics and non-governmental organisations are under pressure. Even worse: activists are not only attacked or arrested; laws also criminalize them and deprive them of funding. Not only committed individuals, but also NGOs operating worldwide have become targets of those in power.

  154. Historically, Florida has always been the subversive state of the United States: drug lords, Cuban refugees and the fiery stars of the1980s all found refuge there. In recent months, Miami has become "The Place to Be", the city unlike any other, regaining its nickname of "Miami Vice". Today, the city attracts Americans from all over the country. We take a look. It's a wild ride.

By 2050, at least one in four will live in a country suffering from water shortages – creating ideal conditions for a new market… Goldman Sachs, HSBC, UBS, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, BNP. Banks, investment funds, and hedge funds are all rushing to invest billions of euros in anything related to water. And when banks get involved in stuff, it’s never good news.

  161. indeed that's well said and your comment made me laugh even though it is truly scary.
    25
  162. Yep. It’s symbolism over substance.
    24
  163. that's easy enough: as with any other job, there are some who save and some who don't with the respective outcomes.

  164.  @harleyrichards5067  Remember when the presidential race was a pretty civil affair? McCain/Obama for example. The town hall McCain gave and someone called Obama not trustworthy (or similar) and a muslim. McCain: No, ma’am. We may disagree on some things but he is a decent person (paraphrasing here) Anyone remember that? Or even Bush/Gore when Florida needed a recount and it was contentious. Gore gave in - graciously and without storming the capital.

  165. Fentanyl is a killer and it isn't just preying on the addict population of this country, its victims are also Canada's unsuspecting middle-class. And the epidemic is showing no signs of letting up. In fact all signs point to the death count rising as more and more powerful versions of this drug seep into the country. Through the eyes of four insiders in the fentanyl industry, Dam Builder Productions will take the audience inside this world in a way that will enlighten, outrage, and fascinate.

  167. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who destroyed centuries old history. It matters that history has been erased off the face of the planet. It is heart shattering.

  169. The decision not to extradite Julian Assange to the United States is unlikely to be the end of his long struggle. Throughout all these years, the Premiere Lignes team continued to investigate, regularly filming new interviews. Today, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are at a turning point in their history. For his detractors, Assange is a spy and traitor who deserves his fate. For his supporters, the extradition request is a serious and unprecedented attack on the freedom of information, protected by the First Amendment.

  170. This film takes one on a world journey through an exceptional year, in a time full of contrasts: silence and chaos, beauty and death, hope and despair, closeness and loneliness: an emotional portrait of our world in a state of emergency.

  171. This is one documentary 52 minutes long that takes time with a few of the millions afflicted and explores some, certainly not all aspects of these complex diseases. We are not ashamed of the journalism of this documentary.
    23
  172. well, at least there is an opportunity for these kids. Let’s face it: it is a disease like other diseases too and needs treatment.
    23
  173. Critics claim they're little more than 'torture camps', taking tough love way too far. But for desperate parents, military-style boot camps are often seen as the last chance for their children to avoid the vicious cycle of delinquency and jail. We spent five months at the Discovery Challenge Academy, which welcomes 125 troubled adolescents every year. The first two weeks are the hardest. Everything is strictly regimented: 10 minutes to eat, 2 minutes to shower, 10 seconds to put on socks. There are 50 beds per dormitory and even going to the bathroom requires permission. Phones, TVs and the internet are all banned, as is seeing family during the first three months. Who are these young people? How did they get there and what trials and challenges will they have to overcome?

  174.  @northyland1157  So what? It's still awful and nobody should be put in that position full stop.

  175. Our condolences, our wishes for all good things and thank you for sharing your story. That always takes courage.
    22
  176.  @Peterbrendanalbert Well, we’ll never lose hope people in the US also watch. No, seriously, there are alot of people in the States who care. But, still, not enough otherwise they wouldn’t constantly vote against their own economic status. It’s a kind of insanity. I don’t really understand it.

  177. Decades after the Chernobyl catastrophe and some years after Fukushima, it is time to see what has been happening in the "exclusion zones", where the radioactivity rate is far above normal. This film offers unique access to those territories. What is the daily life of people living there like? - In Byelorussia, Norway, Japan and Scotland. Through people's testimonies and encounters with the scientists working in these open laboratories, the documentary shows the consequences of nuclear catastrophes.
    22
  178. The documentary discusses the practices of big industries, focusing on the agrochemical industry and the controversy surrounding regulation, transparency, intellectual property rights, and the use of pesticides. It argues that regulation is vital to prevent misuse and that corporate profits have been prioritized over public safety. It raises concerns about a possible lack of transparency, stating that although industry insiders say they are open to full disclosure, intellectual property rights often prevent this.

  179. Beyond Impossible exposes the corruption of the fake meat industry. Health expert Vinnie Tortorich asks the question: what do Harvard, Vegans and the World Economic Forum all have in common? A religious desire for the world to go Vegan. Vinnie tries to make the case for meat.
    22
  180. yeah unfortunately a lot of people are just silly with their money. One could also say stupid. They’re gonna learn the hard way
    22
  181. I know. That is insane. Seriously.
    22
  182. So sad

  183. It reminds me of an episode of New Amsterdam. The kid in question was only allowed to attend school medicated. The premise was different but again, instead of talking to the child they medicated him into a zombie child.

  185. Mark Horvath (@InvisiblePeople) has experienced the highs and lows of the American dream, from a successful career in television to barely surviving, homeless and addicted, on Hollywood Boulevard. But he found his voice again. Armed with a digital camera and a smartphone, Mark talks to homeless people about their own experiences. Today, he's the online voice of his cause, and he's bringing their stories to millions on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The @home documentary follows him on a road trip across the country, from Los Angeles to Arkansas to Pittsburgh, as he makes homelessness in America visible.
    21
  186. I know and that's sad. We gotta do more. The overloards win because the masses get lazy and complacent. And think they can't change it anyway. Well, they can. We can. But it's not easy, it's not overnight. But we can. People have. We can.
    21
  187. 😮 you know, I still find facts like this shocking despite knowing what we already know
    21
  188. keep us posted on your progress and well done. seriously. It is SO hard to keep going. You are. Respect and you can do it!

  192. yep. This kind of poverty doesn’t happen overnight. It has taken decades of hollowing out the social net to get to this point.

  193. The majority of Namibia's abundant natural resources are either owned or controlled by foreign entities. DeBeers dominates the diamond industry, and the ruling Swapo party, widely viewed as corrupt, receives support from its longstanding ally: China. Chinese entities control the construction and uranium sectors, with leaked documents from 2021 revealing illegal subcontracting to North Korea for the construction of the country's State House. Namibia ranks third globally in terms of income inequality. Six percent of its population owns 70% of the land, and the scars of German colonization remain profound. Between 1904 and 1908, the Germans established concentration camps where indigenous Herero and Nama people were detained. Up to 80% of them perished in what Germany later acknowledged as the first genocide of the 20th Century. Descendants of these victims, like Karvita, reside in illegal settlements, facing constant threats of eviction, while descendants of the colonizers continue to hold the majority of the land.

  194.  @GabrielGonzalez-mw9cg  fantastic comment because you are clear, concise and I agree 100%. Somebody once said: “you get the politicians you deserve.” Obviously this is in a democracy and not a theocracy. We now have the power to thoroughly vet those asking for our votes. And by thorough i mean: voting records, who are the big donors. Those are the two big questions to ask. I don’t care how many kids or whatever. I don’t care. What counts: what did they vote for legislation-wise and who are the big donors and what do the donors endorse! That is crucial information. I’m ranting now but again - thank you.
    20
  195. Thank you for sharing that. Seriously. I'm just learning now that less is more. In all aspects of life. Except learning new things. You can't ever learn and know enough. Stuff? It's ephemeral. And for the most part - useless. Thank you @MrTomasioRubinshtein

  196. According to the statistics, more than 900 people were fatally shot by the US police in 2015. At least 100 of those deaths were unarmed African-Americans. US police are three times more likely to kill a black person than a white person. Though African-Americans make up just one-tenth of the US population, they account for 40% of the prison population. Moreover, black men between the ages of 18 to 19 are nine times more likely to be incarcerated than white men; black women are five times more likely than white women. What compounds this situation is that the United States makes up 5% of the world's prison population. The total incarcerated population is roughly 2.4 million people. In Race for Justice, we presentt a detailed depiction and analysis of this chaotic situation by conducting informative interviews with the family members of US police violence victims, social activists, and Maria Haberfeld, a professor of Police Science, in the Department of Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Different cases of the US police violence, brutality, and shooting are dealt with and probed into throughout the documentary.

  198. At the end of the Cold War, thousands of nuclear weapons were withdrawn from Europe. However, by 2018, experts recognized a dramatic escalation in the political situation, with new nuclear weapons returning to the continent. The termination of the INF Treaty under President Trump raised major concerns. By 2022, Moscow's open threats to use nuclear weapons in the ongoing war intensified anxieties. Filmmaker Andreas Orth documented this evolving landscape in 2018, interviewing prominent military experts from France, Germany, Russia, and the US. He showcased new nuclear weapon test images and filmed at former secret missile sites and bunkers in France and Germany. How did these experts assess the risk of a new Cold War? In light of Putin's attack on Ukraine in February 2022, some interviewees reflected on the current situation: how acute do they perceive the threat of nuclear weapons being used against Ukraine?

  200. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, one of the key weapons the Kremlin used was religion, with the head of the Russian Orthodox church blessing the murder of Ukrainians - once their brothers. There was only one direction this conflict was going. The Kremlin has caused one of the biggest religious splits, affecting nearly 30 million believers in Ukraine. Corruption, war crimes, genocide, and the torture of priests have driven a permanent wedge into this centuries-old church.
    19
  201.  @oskar6607  I am in agreement here. The problem I see with trying to “eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah” is this: there will always be people to take their places. Granted, it may bring a certain lull in activity, but they’ve always come back. So I do ask myself: doing something over and over again will not a different result bring. It only sows more hate and radicalism. Not good.
    19
  202. I know. I grew up in the States and it will always be a part of me. But for various job-related reasons, I now live in Europe and I'm very grateful - especially for the health care here. Society is kinder to its citizens here, generally speaking. I know there are many woes and many injustices etc etc. But in a blanket declaration, I'd say you are better off here. At least the places I've lived: Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, Italy.
    19
  203. I’m sorry to hear that. And I know it’s hard. I do. I don’t know where you’re at in your struggles. You gotta find something for yourself that will help you outta there. The dark place. And while you’re looking, any small success will help you. By small successes, I mean everything from making your bed to washing the dishes to saving a snail. You can do it.
    19
  204.  @sadlittlewisp  My feeling is that respecting all humans, being kind and generous and welcoming, doesn’t need a label. In the States, everything has to have a label. It’s annoying.

  206. Every year, over 100,000 Mexicans living in the USA are deported to Mexico. Many of them have grown up and spent decades in America, working, paying taxes, starting families. Some can't even speak Spanish. In a matter of days, they find themselves torn away from their children and loved ones and escorted across the border. Unable to return home and unable to appeal their deportation. Rocio, Richard and Sergio are just three of those affected. We follow them for nearly a year as they struggle to make sense of the situation they are now in and rebuild their lives.

  209. While thousands of things are published on the recurring violence in Gaza, the stories behind them remain hidden. Not this one. Mohamed, 24, aspires to make films in Gaza City, despite the lack of water, electricity, and closed borders that are part of every 'normal' day under the 7-year Israeli blockade of Gaza. Many dream of leaving Gaza. Mohamed wants to help. When he hears the news of a new Israeli offensive on Gaza in July 2014 he decides he cannot merely 'wait for death' but must do something and joins an ambulance crew to document the war.
    19
  210. Good question and here's a quote from the ACLU website: Hastily passed 45 days after 9/11 in the name of national security, the Patriot Act was the first of many changes to surveillance laws that made it easier for the government to spy on ordinary Americans by expanding the authority to monitor phone and email communications, collect bank and credit reporting records, and track the activity of innocent Americans on the Internet. While most Americans think it was created to catch terrorists, the Patriot Act actually turns regular citizens into suspects.

  212. Last year, 217 people were killed in drug-related killings in Miami. Confronting this crime wave is the elite SWAT unit. With an arsenal of military-grade weapons at their disposal, they’re also responsible for tackling armed robberies and at the frontline in the case of terrorist attacks. We followed them at work for several months.

  213. Korean Air Flight 858 was a scheduled international passenger flight between Baghdad, Iraq, and Seoul, South Korea. On 29 November 1987, the aircraft flying that route exploded in mid-air upon the detonation of a bomb planted inside an overhead storage bin in the airplane's passenger cabin by two North Korean agents. One of the agents/terrorists survived - Kim Hyon-hui later released a book, The Tears of My Soul, in which she recalled being trained in an espionage school run by the North Korean army, and being told personally by Kim Jong-il to carry out the attack. She was branded a traitor by North Korea and became a critic of North Korea after seeing South Korea. Kim now resides in exile, and under constant tight security, fearing that the North Korean government wants to kill her. This documentary also looks at the South Korean Government’s cover up of the terrorist act. Yes, South Korea. Let me know what you think in the comments

  220. Rescheduled from last week, dropping now: The film charts the rise in hate crimes against Muslims in the UK. It sees local Imams try to counter the rising tension that far right activists try to capitalise on. The film blends the poignant testimonies of Muslims speaking out for the first time

  224. This compassionate documentary follows patients experiencing four conditions; Epilepsy, Motor Neurone Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease as they undergo testing, surgery, and treatment in the name of research. Their futures may be written but their present day stories are ones of resilience, love, and family in the face of huge adversity. Stories of resilience, love, and family in the face of adversity. Over 700,000 people in Ireland suffer from some form of neurological condition. Most of these conditions are debilitating, degenerative, or incurable. As this number is set to increase as the population ages, the importance of brain research cannot be underestimated.
    17
  225. I’m so sorry. This is ridiculous and must change. We must demand it.
    17
  226. okay I really don’t understand your comment but the general gist is this: far-right always grab the chance to cause unrest and discontent, whenever possible. A few black sheep migrants? “Come on over. We’ll make sure everybody thinks it’s an invasion of criminals.” That’s what far-right groups do.
    17
  227.  @6kat103  I was just rewatching the documentary on the Mennonites. And while i cannot find common ground with their community/way of life, there are some takeaways for a simpler way of life- like the eating of treats (in this case it was ice cream) once or twice a year.
    16
  228. War is never the solution imo but of course, it's big business and used as a device to unite a people. Or they try that whole patriotism thing. War is just awful and the loss of young innocent lives for what? For nothing. Makes one very very sad and angry.
    16
  229. Thanks for stopping by to leave a nice comment. It's much appreciated.

  231. Deep beneath the complex world of organ and tissue transplants are the stories of real people awaiting life-saving organs. Dying to Live takes us into the worlds of those awaiting and going through organ transplants, and explores the policy failures that allows this to happen. Finally, Dying to Live offers solutions to a solvable crisis.

  235. Using a technique called 'love-bombing' cults prey on the vulnerable, recruiting new members with love and warmth. After a period of brain-washing, members are forbidden to leave, enslaved through psychological control, and in Samuel's case, even violence. He was finally able to escape in the dead of night - after 10 years of cult. Wow.

  246. Number one in the drug market, earning more than 53 billion Euros a year, the Ndrangheta is the most powerful branch of the Italian mafia. Heavily armed, the organization has a stranglehold on the Calabrian economy.

  249. I think it's because so much of 'normal consumerist working life' is reduced to the essential things we out here think are important. They on the other hand see what's important: community, friendship, just helping each other, talking to each other. They get it because they've been forced outside the system for whatever reason and have discovered - whether by chance or on purpose - the spirt that makes living worth living.

  254. Filmed in Britain and the United States, this timely, compelling documentary touches us all and reveals what may be the last battle to preserve the most fundamental human right. John Pilger's documentary, The Dirty War on the NHS, "goes to the heart of the struggle for democracy today", he says. Britain's National Health Service, the NHS, was the world's first universal public health service. Designed to give millions of people "freedom from fear", the NHS today is under threat of being sold off and converted to a free market model inspired by America's disastrous health insurance system, which results in an estimated 45,000 people dying every year.

    13
  257. I dunno. I never learned how to use a gun. Same goes for millions of kids and they’re all fine. And let’s be honest here - while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with teaching your kids safe handling of weapons if it’s a tradition in the family - here, in the US - it’s much more. It’s become so incendiary because it’s the philosophy of the Wild West versus modern society. There’s no common ground. Some people still believe in The US as it was in the 1800s.
    13
  258. You can brush up on your Spanish watching this documentary btw. If you have never heard of the country of Andorra, you will now. A private bank in Andorra was the target of a smear campaign by Spanish, American, and Andorran governments in their efforts to destroy the Catalonian Independence Movement - leaving dozens of people facing prison for crimes that don't exist and stealing more than a billion euros from scores of innocent families. Same category documentary recommend here: Tax Evasion - The Silent Killer of the Middle Class: https://youtu.be/mt6O3US9IE4

  259. They kill lawyers, magistrates, journalists, all without a second thought. They have even threatened government ministers in Belgium and the Netherlands. Anyone who challenges their network is a potential target. The "Mocro Mafia," Dutch people of Moroccan origin who are engaged in the criminal underworld. The "Mocro Mafia" is one of the richest criminal organisations in the world and has unleashed a reign of terror.

  266. that’s the thing. If the parents aren’t on board with changing habits and lifestyle, the weight will pile back on. I imagine it’s incredibly difficult for these kids.

  270. Land clearing is an important environmental issue in Australia. Bans on land clearing have been placed by state governments. The primary motivator for land clearing in Australia is agricultural production, especially livestock. Effects of landclearing: Land clearing destroys plants and local ecosystems and removes the food and habitat on which other native species rely. Clearing allows weeds and invasive animals to spread, affects greenhouse gas emissions and can lead to soil degradation, such as erosion and salinity, which in turn can affect water quality. Australian state environment officer Glen Turner was shot in the back by landowner Ian Turnbull. This is their story and also a story about Australia.
    12
  271. Glad you enjoyed it! And I don’t know the answer to your question. I think it may be because it would cost extra to have armed security on board. Maybe the shipping companies are just too cheap and would rather take the risk. That’s my guess

  272. If you think this degree of poverty is doable in four years you need to study how politics and society works. This decline is decades in the making. No one term president can be made responsible. One way or the other.

  278. okay. That’s an argument I can at least understand. Fair enough. I still find the practice reprehensible but again - thanks for offering insight that makes sense.
    12
  279. If girls or boys want to do this - that’s fine. But where there’s money involved there is a power play. That’s just the way it is. I would not want to be beholden to anyone because they’ve paid me

  284.  @CharleyFelino  It’s hard for sure. We can’t make ourselves crazy though. If you have the option of local produce, go for it. You can always ask how they deal with the pesticides issue. There are many small farmers trying to make it work. We should give them a chance.

  285. For 88 years, a small Oklahoma town has pantomimed a passion play on a bizarre reproduction of Jerusalem built into the Wichita foothills. Jesus Town, USA documents a town grappling with questions of tradition, legacy, and what it means to be a community. Enjoy and happy holidays for all of you celebrating. 🥳

  286. Issue with spelling at 1 hour 16 min 11 seconds: It is NOT "Junachaco", "Columbia". The correct name of the village and country is "Juanchaco, Colombia". This something we have to ask the production company to fix. In the meantime, please accept our apologies for the misspelling.
    11
  287. I agree with this too. This segregation of older people is just sad. a mixed generations home - if you’re gonna do homes. Students mixed with older people. Learn from each other. That’s invigorating. But old people’s homes I find just sad.

  288. any addiction is a vicious cycle, unfortunately. People just need help and feel they are being listened to.

  289. In the USA, a new identity movement has emerged. Its mission is to fight against ethnic, sexual, and gender discrimination and to impose new rules. To be woke is to be aware of the discrimination suffered by minorities and of white privilege. In Denver, Colorado, wealthy white Americans pay $500 to attend dinner parties where they are told they are unknowingly racist. At New York City Hall, a special commission tracks the “micro-aggressions” suffered by citizens from minorities. Holding the door for a woman, supposedly physically weaker than a man, can thus be considered a micro-aggression. Those who oppose this ideology are considered racist and are “cancelled”, that is to say socially eliminated and shamed on social networks. When UCLA economics professor, Gordon Klein, refused to automatically raise the marks of his black students who were taking an exam after the death of George Floyd and who, as such, would have been traumatized, he received death threats. He now lives under FBI protection and has been suspended. But some feel the woke revolution has gone too far. Even Terrence Floyd, George’s own brother murdered by the police, calls for a return to universalism and tolerance.

  296. Across the globe, the rights to use and own marine and coastal zones are undergoing significant reallocation. Driven by global market dynamics and often concealed from public scrutiny, evolving national and international legislation is increasingly undermining the traditional rights of local communities. As a result, fishermen and coastal residents are being stripped of their livelihoods.

  299. Thanks to major achievements in science, some aspects of procreation, which were considered as science fiction in the past, are now a possibility. A baby with 3 biological parents, In Vitro Fertilisation and Embryo Transfer, genetic engineering, choice of the genre or the eyes colors... our dream baby is becoming a reality.

  300. As long as the Afghans can find their own way, that’s fine. But China and the Chinese who go there are there for one thing only: to make money. Except maybe for Yang San the guy behind Voice of Peace or whatever his channel called. He’s a good guy.

  302. The only words I can offer: they are sick awful people. You are not. You survived. Even with scars which I’m sure you have - you’re awesome. They are not. I have no plan or advice on how to live well after that. I hope you have help now. If you don’t, please please let us know here and maybe we can do something.

  303. Honestly, what the solution is in the US I do not know. In Europe, while there is also an ever widening gap, it was never as wide as in the States. Society treats its citizens better. There’s health care, paid 25 days holidays, etc etc. We all know this so these phenomena are never as crass. Having said that, there’s room for improvement for sure. The problem in the US: you talk about socialized health care, paid parent leave etc the conservatives scream: socialism! as if it were the devil. I dunno. Extreme conservatives are definitely doing their best to keep the status quo. Not good.

  305. DISCLAIMER: This documentary was already published in April 2024,but since the original version was labeled 18+ by YouTube and therefore not suggested to viewers, we have decided to republish this documentary slightly adapted. The decision not to extradite Julian Assange to the United States is unlikely to be the end of his long struggle. For the past 10 years, Premiere Lignes has investigated Assange and the WikiLeaks network. In their first film since 2011, they interviewed Julian Assange and his team and profiled these new transparency activists who aim to disrupt citizens' relationship with information.

  315. The answers are all simple. It’s the execution that is difficult because we are all different. You have the discipline and willpower: that’s great. Truly. You’re lucky. Many do not for a myriad of reasons. Those are the ones who are targeted and who are susceptible to the addictive elements: be they in the form of drugs or in this case, food. What i’m trying to say for me as much as for anyone reading this: we shouldnt be mean to those who can’t seem to get it together. Some people just need more help and understanding than others.
    9
  316. Yes it’s from 2010. What’s your point? That cults are vastly different in 2024?

  317. The film takes a cross-country look at drilling, highlighting its variety of contaminations, the stories of its victims, the false promise of an economic boom, with a focus on clean energy solutions that would allow us to proceed towards a future that does not rely on yet another dirty fossil fuel extraction process. Interviews with scientists, economists, health professionals, geologists and whistle-blowers provide the core information we think will convince the current President and those that will follow to join the "anti-drilling" majority growing across the United States and call for fossil fuels to be left where they belong, in the ground. This Documentary from 2016 is executive produced and narrated by actor/activist Mark Ruffalo, and produced by filmmaker and explorer Jon Bowermaster.

  319. a decline happens over decades. The decline of the Middle Class began in the late 70s early 80s. No one single term could ever make such a huge difference one way or the other.

  320. Moonshine, often romanticized as a simple country pleasure, has a darker side. It's dangerous to produce, sometimes deadly to consume, and illegal. In the Blue Ridge Mountains, moonshining is more than a tradition-it's a way of life deeply intertwined with local culture and history. Despite its illicit nature, many see it as a source of Southern pride and heritage.

  321. LOBSTER WAR is an award-winning feature film about a climate-fueled conflict between the United States and Canada over waters that both countries have claimed since the end of the Revolutionary War. The disputed 277 square miles of sea, known as the Gray Zone, were traditionally fished by US lobstermen. But as the Gulf of Maine has warmed faster than nearly any other body of water on the planet, the area's previously modest lobster population has surged. As a result, Canadians have begun to assert their sovereignty, warring with the Americans to claim the bounty.

  322. A nice perk: good food, new people. Excellent.

  323. Okay. Watch the documentary and you’ll see that’s the sentiment being expressed here. And it’s “they are” human beings.
    9
  324. Yes it is but what it does give is insight to what happens when crisis around the world happen. The forces behind the scenes, the power brokering, the UN, military forces etc. All the moving pieces for conflicts most people don’t care about. Not only do they have to help solve a conflict they also have to make sure it gets a few minutes on the public stage because without public awareness nothing will change. It’s hard enough with awareness. So that was my takeaway.

  326.  @sw6118  It is hard. You’re right. That’s where your own personal common sense kicks in. And listen to your body. One does find overlaps of what’s good for you what’s not. I think we can all agree that processed packaged foods are generally mostly crap. If you can’t pronounce the individual ingredients there’s a good chance it’s not good for us. Less is more and good quality stuff. No imitations “i can’t believe it’s not butter” stuff. Eat real food and if one loves meat, try to get meat that is ethically sourced. It’s more expensive but it is also better for you. We like easy we like simple. Because we’re used to it. Eating well means being informed. And that’s okay.
    9
  327. Thank you for sharing that. And you know what? To me, it seems like a good idea to be a bit over zealous ie over protective when it comes to all things internet-related. Kids and young adults could use more of that. Take care you.
    9
  328. hard work. We do license all the docs that aren’t in-house productions. Maybe that’s why yours were taken down?
    9
  329. yeah i don’t think it’s a good idea anyways. How about concentrating on making it count what we got? Immortality is a get out of jail for free card. Not a good idea.

  330. it’s from 2020.

  331. Maybe you can visualize the following: the economy as a super tanker. It’s already been built according to the free market manual. The POTUS is like the captain who comes in, takes over from the last guy and just stays on the course it’s been on for decades. Fundamental changes take more than four years. What a president does is course correction. Biden stayed on course and did a pretty decent job.

  332.  @haadbajwa7565  YouTube doesn’t produce the content, the channel owners do and/or license content made by renown documentary filmmakers. This one is by John Pilger. I’d suggest reading up on him. He’s a good guy.

  335. While the rest of us stare down the barrel of negative equity and vanishing pensions, the world’s ultra rich just keep on getting richer. Twenty-five years ago, there were only 140 billionaires in the world, now there are over 1200. The 0.1% are truly on the rise. How To Be A Billionaire draws back the curtain on the world of the ultra rich, whose fantastic wealth allow them to fund projects and personal obsessions that could have massive repercussions on us all and the world in which we live.

  343. oh totally. They’re the worst hypocrites ever. The façade: holier than thou. Inside: rotten to the core. The church - in this case the Catholic Church still only exists because of all the wealth they amassed over centuries.

It’s nice their wealth has given the world great art and architecture but at what cost?

  349. We investgate how the so-called 'normal' s__tourism creates structures in the red light districts that acutely endanger children. We speak to the European men who equate paying for s** as a kind of 'aid' and hear the point of view of the women forced to sell their bodies. We also follow a case of a German tourist, who allegedly had s** with children in a bar. But to the surprise of the Thai police, he was able to leave the country by paying a 50,000€ bribe. Surprisingly, he agrees to speak to us and admits to the bribe and claims he could not get a fair trial in Thailand. Documentary from 2023

  355. The pillaging of archaeological artifacts began on an unprecedented scale with the destruction of Palmyra in Syria by ISIS and it continued with artifacts stolen from Iraq and Libya. Stolen antiquities have been exhibited at renowned galleries and sold around the world in online markets. In this unprecedented year-long investigation we shadow European specialist police units and investigative archaeologists to reveal a sprawling criminal network. From auction rooms in Paris, Brussels, and New York we follow the thread back to Libya, the new center for crooked dealers, some of whom have links with terrorist groups like ISIS.

  356. Like the Amish, the ultra-conservative Mennonite community rejects modern society, living a 19th-century lifestyle in self-sufficient colonies. For the first time, one such community, Little Belize in South America, has permitted cameras to document their way of life, where horse-drawn carriages and the Plattdeutsch dialect persist. However, outside influences are encroaching; Wilhelm, the former doctor, was expelled for owning a mobile phone. In response, some members, including Abram's family, are forming an even more isolated colony in Peru to preserve their traditions. We follow their exodus for a unique glimpse into Mennonite life.

  385. We take a closer look at this "green rush" and meet players, beneficiaries, and losers of this huge, new branch of industry. We accompany a group of tourists on a city tour with a "cannabis bus" and we talk to producers such as 43-year-old wholesaler Toni Fox. In the very first month following legalization, her company recorded a turnover of almost 300,000 dollars. We interview medical scientists, stockbrokers, and government employees. And we see how quickly the "stoner romance" has yielded to the pressures of all-American business logic. In short, this is – if nothing else – a lesson in capitalism.
    7
  386.  @umat6991  If the stats are correct, there are 1.93 firearms for every adult in the US. The consequence has been the continued military-style build up of the police force - these are facts that in turn make American society violent and deadly. Where does it end? How does it end? Looking at other countries: fewer guns fewer deaths. It’s kinda logical.
    7
  387. We infiltrate the Russian Neo-Nazi group "Autonomous Nationalists", one of most brutal right-wing, extremist groups in the world. Shocking footage shows them attacking foreigners, setting fire to buildings and training to use knives. Even more worrying are the ties between Autonomous Nationalists and other extremist groups in Germany and Europe. One member describes how they would regularly train with Neo-Nazis from Europe. In candid interviews, members are quick to praise the Third Reich. And it's not only men attracted to this dangerous ideology. At the training camp, we film some of the women attending and learn how they were recruited. We also see how the neo-Nazis use seemingly harmless web pages and youth affine topics to spread their radical views.

Episode 1: The first war where the casualties were on a industrial level: the horrid economic and social impact of WWI. Maybe a well- used trope but a true one: you cannot understand the present or the future unless you understand the past.

In the context of the documentaries, we believe the horrors of war, gun violence, of killings, are still powerful despite some blurring.

  420. @ we do.

  421. If these numbers are correct, that’s just crazy. And the pertinent question is: how does one tackle the problem effectively? Clearly, there are funds to do so. Why is nothing working?

  422. The opening song is by Aloe Blacc - an original song for the series.

  423. Totally. It's so important to know where things we buy come from and how they are produced.

  424. True
    6
  425. it's not in the past if - as you say - injustices carry into now. Besides, the past matters. It matters very much. People think it doesn't. It does. And if you don't recognize that, then wrongs can never be righted.

  426. Between criminality and identity rivalry, we dive into Northern Ireland, a country where civil war is once again threatening to break out. Each community retains its own traditions. On the Protestant side, on July 12, the victory of Protestant King William Ill over Catholic King James Il is celebrated by gigantic parades and marching bands. On August 8, it was the turn of the Catholic community to taunt the protests. In the Bogside district of Derry, Dede and his friends make a gigantic bonfire using wooden pallets. They hang the flag of the United Kingdom and proclaim their hatred of the British crown. In the underprivileged districts of Belfast and Derry, paramilitary groups exercise parallel justice and conduct punitive expeditions. We met one of their former members, who recounts the brutality of these groups and their recruitment methods. [Please take note of a correction: At 03:35, the narrator states, "..a reminder of the deep-seated hatred between Catholics and Protestants that has lasted 800 years." As a commentator correctly pointed out, it can't have been more than 400-450 years as Protestantism didn't exist before.]

  427. excellent. And that's what I try to tell anyone who will listen: every little bit counts. While corporations must be held to tighter standards, we - each of us - have to do our part. Reduce plastic, don't buy stuff wrapped in plastic etc. I know it's hard because often there aren't even alternatives. Just do what you can within your means is all I'm saying. And thanks for stopping by.

  428. Human Terrain' takes the viewer into the heart of the war machine and the shadowy collaboration between American academics and the armed services. This is a phenomenon that exists in the background. At least for most of us. It makes sense top corporations and organizations vye for the best and brightest minds. Nevertheless being aware of how one is wooed and exactly what one may be getting into - always a good thing.

  431. For several months, we followed the men of the Marseille police, the Anti-Narcotics Office, and the specialised squads who work to disrupt the drugs trade. These gangs have transformed the northern neighbourhoods of Marseille into crime empires. To understand how the organizations work, we met some of their members. They belong to very hierarchical structures, managed like legitimate companies. But death is never far away, and among the long list of casualties, there are many innocent people. For families who have lost a loved one, the pain is interminable. They are collateral victims of an increasingly bloody gang war in Marseille.

  460. There are high budgets allocated to the homelessness issue. Not highly enough? I honestly don’t know. One comment on this thread goes into detail with the numbers and they’re saying the money just doesn’t reach the actual affected people. What is the answer? How to make it work? We can figure out super complicated high tech stuff but nobody seems to be able to solve the problem of moving a homeless person into a home. I don’t get it.
    5
  461. not helpful. But yes. It is wonderful and best not to be poor. But there are many poor people. Get out there and help where you can.

  466. YEAR ZERO is a 3-part global documentary series that takes us back to the moment of collective uncertainty that arose in early 2020 and weaves together stories of adaptability and perseverance in a dramatic and swiftly changing world. The series documents the experiences of wildly different people - a sex worker, a poacher hunter, a commando, a speakeasy owner, a mafioso's friend, a modern monk, a revolutionary, a futurist, a filmmaker, a migrant family, and a tribal elder - revealing the unexpected, humanizing connections between us all. Filmed in ten different countries, by ten different filmmakers, the show offers an intimate glimpse into some of the bravest, profound and surprising stories that unfolded around the world in a year unlike any other.

  467. It’s a lot of bait and switch. They pretend they’re all cool and modern when really, it’s worse than Medieval times.

  468. probably. And I’m totally with you there: paying them up-in-arms- attention gives them exactly what they wanted. And news that outrages gets way more attention.

  479. On YouTube, potentially disturbing imagery (guns being pointed at another person, dead bodies, etc.) must be blurred. In our opinion, the trade off for unrestricted access is worth it. In the context of the documentaries, we believe the horrors of war, of gun violence, of killings, are still powerful despite some blurring.
    4
  480.  @Milaperadotti  That’s the free market ie capitalism on steroids. It won’t ever change unless the government steps in to regulate this. And of course as you already mentioned, increase minimum wages. Increase taxes on the very rich and it’s all paid for.
    4
  481. It's not about growing up - it's about YT regulations for unrestricted viewing. YT requires blurring on disturbing imagery.
    4
  482.  @BugsyBologna  yes and within those parameters there’s still a lot of combos to choose from
    4
  483. absolutely. We have to combine knowledge, common sense and listening to your own body. There is no one solution for everybody. And often it’s trial and error but that’s okay.

  484. I’ll have this looked into. Thanks for the thumbs up.

  485.  @dianahill5116  I am guessing you are situated in the US and not in a bigger city? There, or in Europe for example no one would bat an eye.

  486. We’re happy and it’s sure to increase. Having said that: documentaries like this are still niche. But again, it will increase for sure. Awareness and interest in health has definitely grown.

  489. Here is the briefest summary I could come up with, outlining the conflict in DRC up to 2024. This documentary shows events in 2003-2006. Unfortunately, it could be 2023-2024 as well. The Second Congo War erupted in 1998 due to strained relations between Rwanda and Congo's government under Laurent Kabila, who sought to diminish Rwanda's influence by denying their role in his rise to power and targeting ethnic Tutsis within his administration. In a shift of alliances, Kabila expelled foreign troops and permitted Hutu armed groups to regroup, prompting Rwanda to invade with the intent of securing its border from Hutu threats. This conflict escalated as Congolese forces, backed by Angola, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, clashed with Rwandan, Ugandan, and Burundian military forces and various rebel groups. The turmoil culminated in Kabila's assassination in 2001 during a coup, leading to his son, Joseph Kabila, taking control and ultimately concluding the war in 2002. The conflict resulted in catastrophic humanitarian consequences, with estimated death tolls exceeding three million by 2004. Between 2002 and 2003, Rwanda, Uganda, and DRC began implementing peace agreements that authorized a transitional government in Kinshasa led by Joseph Kabila. Despite these agreements, the establishment of truth and reconciliation commissions, and a renewed UN peacekeeping force, unrest and clashes persisted in eastern DRC. Joseph Kabila was formally inaugurated following a long-awaited popular election in 2006. Since 2003, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has faced ongoing conflict, primarily rooted in struggles for power, ethnic tensions, and competition for natural resources. The rise of various militant groups, including M23 and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), has led to widespread violence and instability, displacing millions and resulting in severe humanitarian crises, including rampant food insecurity. International interventions have been inconsistent, with peacekeeping missions met with local resistance. In October 2023, UN Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region Xia Huang warned that tensions between the two countries could lead to an open military confrontation, expressing his concerns about “the military strengthening in both countries, the absence of direct high-level dialogue, and the persistence of hate speech.” The two countries agreed in late November 2023 to a U.S.-brokered pact to bilaterally reduce military presence near the border, reduce hate speech, and refrain from efforts to affect one another’s political systems. Despite the agreement and initial promise of a seventy-two-hour ceasefire ahead of the DRC’s national election, ongoing, lethal conflict in eastern Congo has continued largely unabated into 2024.

  490.  @AkhaLosii-js6tl  It’s complicated. And what I feel this documentary shows in vivid detail: the minutiae and convoluted difficulties involved in any but this peacekeeping mission in particular.

  491. From one of Honduras' most violent neighborhoods, Fernando Lucena documents first-hand the brutality of MS-13. The infamously savage gang was born and bred in the streets of Los Angeles in the 70s and 80s, founded by refugees from Central American wars - wars promoted and financed by the US. Today, tides of horrific violence generated by the deportations of these gang members to Central American countries - their "home countries" according to Trump - lies behind the massive exodus of migrants hoping to escape the plague of bloodshed.

  513. In this film, we investigate the changing world of luxury yachting. Yachts have always been the ultimate status symbol, coveted and despised in equal measures. At the annual Monaco superyacht exhibition, interior designer Sabrina Monteeone-Oeino takes us on a tour of her latest creation. But in a world threatened by global warming, superyachts consume nearly 500 liters of diesel per hour. However, through new technology and new uses, the yachting world is trying to redeem its bad reputation. Francis Lapp has invented a solar power yacht. Other manufacturers are working on hydrogen powered engines.

  518. Hired killers, like El Guero, show us their daily life as a sicario. Before each new mission, he prays to the goddess of death. As an offering, he offers him bullets, with the names of the people he is to kill on them. In the poor neighborhoods of Culiacan, money from drug traffickers turns heads, like Jamilet’s. The young woman does everything possible to seduce a drug lord as a means out of poverty. Many boys like Luis, 17, are ready to drop out of school to become hitmen. But tragedies are numerous. In the last 15 years, the drug war has claimed the lives of more than 230,000 people in Mexico. 2019 broke all records with 35,000 murders. These tragedies make funeral directors happy: Santos runs from crime scene to crime scene trying to get funeral contracts.

In Austria, for example (where i live atm) I was prescribed a medication you’re not supposed to take for longer than 6 months. The insurance company contacted my doctor at 6 months and a day. So the next course of action was weening me off. That’s just an example of how it can be. In the States, we’re on our own.

  536. Incase you don’t know how these things work: we license some videos from distributors. That means we pay fees to stream the respective documentary on our channel in the negotiated regions. Helene Eckmann and other filmmakers rely on channels like us to finance past and future projects. Also, there are credits at the end which clearly show who the docs are made by. That’s what we do. We have over one thousand documentaries across our channel family. And each and every one of them is acquired with the streaming rights ie licensing fees. You may have heard of Netflix. They do that too.

  537. thank you. We will pass that on :)

  553.  @EYES2seeEARS2hear78  yep about 20 years ago I think. And he said it in the context of “it’s been going on for 30 years now” so this isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s been a long time in the making. If you want to read the entire monologue check it out here: "They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting ——- by a system that threw them overboard 30 ——-’ years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly ——- jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your ——-' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this —-' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. ...The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. ...And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant ————, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it."

  558. really? You have to see them getting killed for it to have more “impact” on you? Pardon my frankness, but that’s bs. Fact is you just want to see the carnage. Because if the story has no effect on you the u blurred imagery won’t either.

  568.  @Bloodsoldr  To put this into perspective: the money “sent” to Ukraine and Israel isn’t actually stuffed into containers and shipped over. Most of the money is spent in the USA, on weapons, ammunition, jets, tanks, missiles and so forth.. Where are those weapons made? In the USA. It’s an American industry with American workers. Just sayin. That’s how it works. I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just pointing out how the “aid money” is spent.

  576. I guess you mean inflation, right? We have more videos about that too. Click on the playlist in the description to find out more. And thanks for watching 😀

  577. 😂

  578. yep.

  579.  @LethalTurd It’s really not about the Wagner Group per se, it’s about the phenomenon of mercenaries operating within or next to national military forces. It’s an example of what goes on based on the Wagner Group. Because as we know, or can surmise, if it exists there, it exists in other places too. Blackwater anyone?

  580. Kind of

  581.  @alfiesdad4757  He is German. He was born in Iran and came to Germany when he was 5.

  582.  @shonnaroadruck5194  we didn’t create it. We only licensed it. We will let the filmmakers know though :)
    3
  583. I didn’t either until I saw this. There seems to be literally no aspect of consumer life that is not tainted by bad practices and exploitation.
    3
  584. I have to say i learned so much too from this doc. It’s enlightening to the point of hs how is this possible ?! and as many of you mention: crucial - absolutely crucial to know about.
    3
  585. Oh absolutely. Alcohol is way worse not even comparable I'd go so far as to say. But it's big business. Evil greed is everywhere. I don't want to sound like a loon but it's kinda true. Anything with on -ion at the end does not have our best interests at heart.

  586. Licensing deals work like that. It was produced in Germany. A local channel has dibs on the rights
    3
  587. Definitely irresponsible parents. How can you let your kid’s eating habits get so outta hand? I feel sorry for the kids.
    3
  588. what’s the bias? It’s easy to throw a statement out there. Explaining it is more difficult, takes time and knowledge.
    3
  589.  @LorraineMatthew-oe3mm  I always thought Canada had a better social net than the US. I’m sorry to hear that
    3
  590. The wages, healthcare, 6 weeks holidays (give or take), paid maternity apply to most EU countries. And if you travel within the EU, have a medical emergency, you’re covered. It’s normal. The conditions for average workers in the US are quite frankly, shocking.
    3
  591. good point
    3
  592. oh for sure but by covering up for the abusers makes us all forget the good ones. We do put them all in one bag. And that is the church’s fault imo.
    3
  593.  @emichaelmcmahon  Getting a deeper understanding of things takes time. Not everyone will take the time.
    3
  594. I think he’s president of the US and not Europe.
    3
  595. thank you for that insightful comment. Awesome.
    3
  596. exactly. They haven’t.
    3
  597. serious. I once watched the hot dog eating contest they have every 4th of July. Yikes is all i can say.
    3
  598. Thanks 😄
    3
  599. Not really. Protective
    3
  600.  @deeperunderstanding7495  Yes we are aware and the release date is still 2022 as it’s a mix of footage over several years as often is the case when making documentaries.
    3
  601.  @kosmoludek100  that’s a cool encounter and thanks so much for sharing with us!
    3
  602. So you’re comparing our bodies on par with nuclear waste?
    3
  603. i like that. I really like that sentiment.
    3
  604. I’ll look into this - thanks
    3
  605.  @sparkythancztwise  thank you and welcome :)
    3
  606.  @prancer4743  dude it’s not a podcast. And it’s from 2023.
    3
  607. Oh good because i thought it really good too.
    3
  608. certainly not the most advantageous prerequisites. It could however be a great opportunity for the whole family to reset and get healthier.
    3
  609.  @Lordinoske  that’s okay. There are things I can’t watch either and that’s okay
    3
  610. 2018 and it’s still happening
    3
  611. I am so sorry for your loss.
    3
  612.  @djraepa  actually it’s 2015
    3
  613. yep. Germans and Austrians both. They don’t understand the concept of living hand to mouth so much. More so now since the pandemic and the change in all lives but they’re still good savers. Definitely more frugal than Americans
    3
  614. read some books. Lots of books. That may help
    3
  615. good luck! yeah, California is crazy. My parents bought a house in Thousand Oaks for 400k and just a few years later it sold for 1.2 million. Insane considering it was/is really just a modest regular So Cal home. Who can afford that? Wages do not go up as the housing prices explode. No wonder there are so many homeless. That's a phenomenon I've only experienced in the States.
    3
  616. While the problem can’t be tackled on a individual basis ie government has to get their stuff together and make a difference, each of us are called upon to help if/when confronted with homelessness. It’s always easier shouting: outrage! do something! There’s a saying: you help one person, you save one life, you save the world. Think about it.
    3
  617. you’re right but not everyone is as strong and resolute as that. Those need help too. In whatever way possible. You can’t just toss people aside because they don’t have the willpower and discipline.
    3
  618. You got this! I’d be careful with eggs right away - they’re hard to digest. Go with something else maybe first days of breaking the fast. Broth is good.
    3
  619. this is true. It’s interesting to note that in modern society the poor are fat and the well off tend toward skinny. Before the world wars ended, it was the opposite.
    3
  620. one always wishes for wise words to write - short and succinct. I don’t have any wise words for you. I can just say maybe don’t think of it as a battle. You’re you and each person gets to where they gotta go in different ways.
    3
  621. You know what I find interesting? Up until the end of WWII, it was poor people who had meat once a week - on Sundays - and the rest of the week it was potatoes, vegetables as the main meals. In other words: healthy. Poor people were also thin. Post WWII that somehow flipped albeit gradually with the rise of fast food. Now, low income households struggle with weight problems and health problems while the middle to upper class are eating low to no meat. If you want to break free of being a slave to junk food, change your habits. It is doable for everyone. It’s not as convenient and it’s more of an effort but everyone can eat good food
    3
  622. thanks 😀
    3
  623. nicely said. Very nicely said.
    3
  624. This documentary was made in France therefore the currency is in Euros. You can use a currency converter but as a rule of thumb, the euro is slightly higher than the dollar
    3
  625.  @jimmyrh247  fair point. I’ll add a correction in the text box. Thank you.
    3
  626. birth control protects from unwanted pregnancies too. That’s like saying I can kill a fly with a machine gun too. No thanks.
    3
  627. what does that have to do with anything?
    3
  628. Thank you for your comment and for sharing your personal experience. I am no expert (by far) my job is watch the docs and keep in touch with you guys. Which is awesome. As far as algorithms and all that stuff goes - not my revere. I would think, or rather my impression is that this Shorts feature on YT is just a small concession to the tiktok age. YT will always be here for longer content (I hope anyways) Anyways, good luck to you and I will check out your channel @solarcabin 😀
    3
  629. it's true that - not wanting something then it comes. Because you as a person are more carefree, confident, not annoying. It works. People who try to hard are annoying.
    3
  630. good one ☝🏼
    3
  631. my theory: no imagination and always afraid someone is going to take their riches away. Money should ideally give one freedom. These numbskulls voluntarily put themselves in a kind of prison.
    3
  632. totally.
    3
  633. kinda yes. But in feudal times it seems to me at least the nobility had better taste than these guys living in seriously ugly surroundings. It’s like straight out of the Mattel factory.
    3
  634. awesome.! Yeah, I always pick up trash when I'm walking back from my runs. And if there are really trashy spots, I go back with a bag and clean up.
    3
  635. i know its really hard to even find alternatives to plastic packaging. They make it so hard. But you're aware, you're on the look-out. That's good! Every little bit counts!
    3
  636.  @lucianmihalca4189 I Putin would love to reestablish a Soviet Union type bloc.
    3
  637.  @sairahmadkhairzada2302  that’s pure speculation about trump. Can’t be proven and highly doubtful anything would have gone more smoothly.
    2
  638.  @sairahmadkhairzada2302  absolutely because it shows respect.
    2
  639. we have a documentary about this. Your comment made me remember we have it in the archives. It’s called The Human Terrain Project - The PENTAGON'S attempt to understand The Enemy here’s the link for anyone who may be interested: https://youtu.be/yRfZzOn5ME0?si=4V5aWqPSjEyQl4Ol
    2
  640.  @sairahmadkhairzada2302  I find this fascinating and something you can only know if you have a native speaker who tells you that. It is indeed that ‘insider’ knowledge of dynamics within a country and the correct utilization of it that can make a difference. Thanks both of you writing about this.
    2
  641. Thanks 😁
    2
  642.  @hollyrich8169  horrible tragedy. For your mom. For you. I hope you are doing good. I really do.
    2
  643.  @hollyrich8169  so sorry 😞
    2
  644. and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know!
    2
  645. what a horrible story - I mean, thank you for sharing! But 19 pills a day?? And i’m sure it’s not unique. That is sick. Sick bad not sick good. Wow. I am so sorry and well, it’s a good thing you see things differently. That counts for a lot. Best wishes from here.
    2
  646. thanks for recommending- a few other people have named that read. I will check it out
    2
  647. terrible outcome and very sorry for your loss
    2
  648. you’re right. The solutions are usually simple. It’s the problems that are complicated. Thanks for stopping by :)
    2
  649. Read through the comments. You’ll find many sharing their experiences. You’re definitely not alone.
    2
  650.  @rachaelfutch7525  there seems to be nothing heroic or honorable about defending one’s country if injured souls are indiscriminately medicated to shut them up.
    2
  651. Thank you for sharing. Each of these stories are shocking. I cannot imagine the pain, and then the willpower and strength it must have taken. Respect. All good things to you!
    2
  652. Yes it’s tough but all the stories told do turn out good
    2
  653.  @nilsanarvaez7947  Let us know how it goes. This thread is here to share how it’s going :)
    2
  654. We agree!
    2
  655.  @ingridakerblom7577  I’m from the US but live in Europe now. Vienna. And i’m glad. To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to maintain the same life style there as I am able to here. That’s interesting about the hospital bugs. It’s not rampant here but it happens occasionally. Anyways, thanks for stopping by to comment and stay well! See ya 👋🏻:)
    2
  656.  @farrahaking  thank you for taking the time to leave such a great comment. Take care
    2
  657.  @jmr9735  serious. Honestly, I am shocked. Because one wants to believe doctors in particular are infallible. But, as one realizes just going through this comments section, they are not.
    2
  658.  @DM-wu5hn  what a rollercoaster ride. Hope you have found your way
    2
  659. thank you for sharing your experience. Take care of yourself
    2
  660. a good comment and very true. Thank you.
    2
  661.  @kennethAmos8929  It takes more time, qualified personnel and effort for therapy and prevention. The profit margin isn’t big enough. Medication is fast and easy, profit margins high. Meds are important but therapy and prevention equally so. In a wealthy nation, both must be viable options for the patient. For society it has to be prevention.
    2
  662.  @humdll  Sincerest safe and better travels going forward.
    2
  663.  @jpydstie1556  okay good. Very happy to hear you doing good. Stay strong. (and thank you!)
    2
  664. Thanks for sharing that and I hope you’re doing okay now though. Unbelievably poor healthcare by the doctors
    2
  665. great analogy and comment. Thank you 🙏
    2
  666. thank you for weighing in. We agree. People trust their doctors and that’s how it should be. Or at least we always thought it should be like that. It seems the job has fallen on us as patients to question everything.
    2
  667. I’m hopeful. Kinda.
    2
  668.  @akwyld2545  And I bet it pissed them off no end. Excellent.
    2
  669.  @eugenesant9015  Battlefield Earth anyone?
    2
  670. Yes, somehow they didn't make to the top 10 in 2020. The other cities were even more expensive 😀
    2
  671. Prices are crazy there.
    2
  672.  @D-3-X86  is that supposed to be funny?
    2
  673. copyright. Often music copyright is negotiated separately from the licensing agreements and if an agreement cannot be made, we have to silence that part of the soundtrack.
    2
  674. There is a lot rotten in many many places. Thing is we can’t give up standing up, speaking out and fighting for the right things. It’s always worth it.
    2
  675. It is truly flabbergasting- thank you for sharing this
    2
  676.  @RhondaMcgillivray-l8m  agree 100%
    2
  677. that’s what we do so yes, most definitely
    2
  678. Glad it was helpful
    2
  679. okay. We get it. Anthony supporto.
    2
  680. stay safe and stay healthy. Best of luck.

  681. blind patriotism is unfortunate no matter where you encounter it.

  684.  @Julian-4  It is new to our channel. This is a 3 part series/ the intro is always the same/the content covers the 9 families across the 3 episodes
    2
  685.  @jonhutchinson2902  Ultimately though, this model of greed (highest possible profits at the expense of the worker) will backfire because no one will be able to afford the products the corporations are trying to sell us. Too few 1% ers understand it makes sense to have a healthy middle class.
    2
  686. yeah but in the jungle the playing field is level you know? It’s not level in capitalism and of course the poor get trampled on. And unless you have immense drive and ambition, you end up and stay by the wayside.
    2
  687.  @kratz57x  No. Not really. Maybe in picket fence USA, when Bobby worked at McDonalds over the summer it was considered as such but minimum wage jobs have been filled with people across the generations for at least 4-5 decades.
    2
  688.  @melvinarendt8213  is there no one or no place that can help?
    2
  689.  @kamauwilliamk  You can live your dream anywhere. Really you can.
    2
  690. yeah that’s a tricky one. If you are completely autonomous not relying on healthcare and federal facilities then sure. Go ahead. Generally, an unhealthy population is a strain on all of society.
    2
  691. I’ll be sure to go there when I’m in Coney Island next time
    2
  692.  @JazminRomero-kk7lc  good for you! Immediate effect :)
    2
  693.  @Janika-xj2bv  Criminal organizations are all low tech these days
    2
  694. Oh you’ll be giving. China (or any powerful country) doesn’t give anything out of the goodness of their hearts. That’s how business works generally. One must be aware of the exploitation potential.
    2
  695. You’re absolutely right. You want to win hearts and minds, you must do something for impoverished countries. Seriously. It isn’t rocket science. The Chinese aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts (or maybe they are) but the bottom line is this: Africa’s natural resources.
    2
  696. 😊

  697. thank you!

  700.  @1233-h1  Nor I. It’s such a beautiful city. Mind you, Marseille has always had that rough reputation, as you rightly say. I’ve read many crime novels with Marseille as a city more than just a backdrop.

  701. l'argent est le grand corrupteur

  702. No. We really don’t.

  704. thank you for sharing this. You did good.

  705. I hope you can find some lasting help for that.
    2
  706. yeah I’m with you. You cannot get fat on veggies.
    2
  707. What a journey. Congratulations!
    2
  708.  @adicechiel  No. Not at all. Vegetables require some sort of preparation/cooking. Fast food availability has spoilt everybody and made way too many people lazy.
    2
  709. Thanks for this comment. And safe & happy travels to wherever you’re going (Because traveling isn’t only about getting on an airplane. )
    2
  710.  @rachelalyssajones2550  definitely

  711.  @jokomendoza_official  A six pack? In one evening? C’mon dude. You know better.
    2
  712. On YouTube, potentially disturbing imagery (guns being pointed at another person, dead bodies, etc.) must be blurred. In our opinion, the trade-off for unrestricted access is worth it. In the context of the documentaries, we believe the horrors of war, gun violence, of killings, are still powerful despite some blurring.
    2
  713.  @reneeclark-johnson7703  glad you found it interesting
    2
  714. Repost would be the incorrect term as Deutsche Welle is a channel separate from Free Documentary ENDEVR. On our channel, The Black Elite IS new.

  719. The ranking was published before situation got out of control there. It should probably be up in the ranking by now. The whole thing is here: https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/workingpaper-8_1.pdf
    2
  720. The ranking was done before the Venezuela hyperinflation kicked off. But yes, things are not looking good there.
    2
  721. The Brazilian hyperinflation from 89/90 is actually a bit down in the ranking. The full ranking is here: https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/workingpaper-8_1.pdf

  726. crass but true unfortunately
    2
  727.  @AJApud  If you’re interested, the documentary about Afghanistan makes a case for that too (not that it needs to be made - we know but it’s still shocking) Absolutely flabbergasting what people made there. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/xevSUNXdfs8?si=lWe0-n-iLYDJISwy

  730.  @bdk4523  good job 👍🏻
    2
  731. i know.
    2
  732. the topic is the United States. Not Mexico. Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the US are 13 times greater than they are in France, and 22 times greater than in the European Union as a whole. The US has 23 times the rate of firearm homicide seen in Australia. The trend continues for percentage of child deaths caused by firearms. Including physical violence, suicide, and unintentional injury, gun violence accounts for over 7% of deaths in the US among those under age 20, a figure that stands far above peer countries. When excluding infants, who have higher rates of death from neonatal causes, that number jumps to nearly 15%.
    2
  733. Well, where does it save lives? When? In what capacity? How about you elaborate?
    2
  734.  @Tis_I_SirJames exactly
    2
  735.  @TheDriver21122001  they do not. Their job is to save whoever comes to the ER. It’s called the Hippocratic oath.
    2
  736.  @eerreennee  nobody is blaming guns. It’s the easy access to guns that is the problem.
    2
  737. it should be, shouldn’t it. And then these gun nuts always come with the argument: it’s the people not the guns. How is that a convincing argument to carry on with the status quo?
    2
  738. I have to say this as an American: it really is off-putting thinking you could get shot anywhere any place any time.
    2
  739. We do understand that guns as inanimate objects are not capable of suddenly taking aim and shooting someone. It is logical though to say: People with guns kill people. And that’s something that cannot be denied.
    2
  740. that is SUCH a lame excuse
    2
  741. I don’t think the problem is that people earn or lose on their investments. I believe it is because the banks never seem to lose ie things are skewed in their favor. I am no finance expert, realize it’s a little more complicated but still. When banks always come out on top with enormous profits for Ceos etc people get angry.
    2
  742. I know. It is such a friggin tragedy. I have no words.
    2
  743. Glad you liked it!
    2
  744. Thanks, we appreciate! There will be much more 😀
    2
  745. Thanks for watching 😀

  751.  @Youre-Welcome  great you know more about NK. Many do not. That’s who this doc is for.
    2
  752. He was speaking about South Korea. He was comparing North Korea and South Korea and the differences between the two.
    2
  753. that or because it’s criminally amoral, unethical and just plain wrong
    2
  754. “I never had an imaginary friend because I always had a friend” nice 👍🏻
    2
  755. Since the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution: wealth never ever trickled down and workers were always exploited.
    2
  756. I know 🙁
    2
  757. I know. Me too.
    2
  758.  @lastcommodore9651  That’s a long time. I’m glad you have a car roof over your head but I hope for you one day soon you’ll be able to get a place. You know, in addition to your wheels. Stay safe.
    2
  759.  @kingpriapatius5832  Thank you for the lesson. I was a postproduction supervisor so I am aware. We don’t get the audio as a separate file otherwise we would / could have fixed it.
    2
  760. accessibility? The documentary is Available Worldwide The soundtrack is mixed for 1xspeed and is a creative decision ie the director makes them.
    2
  761.  @Lukky_Luke  on a moral level for sure they should be but i doubt it would ever come to that in the real world. The prosecution has to prove they knew they were hiring slaves. And that’s next to impossible to do.
    2
  762. It is sad when a person sees no other option. That’s sad and shameful for society.
    2
  763.  @UrsulaPainter  Thank you. We will make sure the filmmakers get your message.
    2
  764. What a story. My respect and congratulations for what you’re accomplished under very dire circumstances. Really excellent job.
    2
  765. thank you. I hope you get what you want for yourself too.

  766. @ i’d hope ‘all people’ but we’ll take ‘all good people’ too

  770.  @sydneytomlinson6607  look locally. There are organizations sprinkled across the country.

  771. The documentary was made by Europeans
    2
  772. What exactly has the Democratic party done to make you come to that conclusion?
    2
  773.  @deewilson3239  That’s not what caused poverty at home. Foreign aid is a small fraction of overall government spending. Economies are complex, and many factors contribute to economic conditions at home. Blaming foreign aid ignores other pressing issues that may drive poverty, such as local economic policies, labor markets, and social services. The crux of the matter is this: even if the US didn’t give, the construct within our borders wouldn’t change because the social net has holes the size of Texas.

  774. lovely comment. Thank you and continued luck or whatever one calls that :)
    2
  775.  @keepitsimple4629  It is a European produced documentary
    2
  776.  @GinaR21212  it is a European produced documentary hence euros and the metric system. All phones easily convert values.

  777. 😥

  778.  @daviddaniel387  I am so sorry to hear that. And I really hope you are able to find some service that helps. Someone good. There are a lot of good people out there. And i know it sucks when you have to ask for help. But sometimes you gotta.

  779. because they’re eating junk food. High on fats&sugars, low to no on the nutrition. It’s a fact that fast food chains target poor neighborhoods too.

  780. I know 🙄
    2
  781. yes it is! great reco
    2
  782. Thanks for watching anyway.
    2
  783. 😬 no lies, but thanks for watching.
    2
  784. Yes. We are very considered in the documentaries we license and on the docs we produce ourselves. We research and fact check from at least two independent sources. If we find something is incorrect we post a correction.
    2
  785. We’ll look into that. Thanks

  786. 🐶

  787.  @roldiny  all the documentaries are uploaded to the server several days in advance of the pubic release. I prepare the posts in advance.
    2
  788.  @simonbreki295  because Russia never uses propaganda
    2
  789. You’re welcome 😊
    2
  790.  @Campaigner82  Indeed. I found the footage with Peter DeVries especially crass. I lived in Amsterdam for a while and you can’t imagine someone being gunned down, in broad daylight, in the center of the city. Absolutely insane
    2
  791.  @fuqupal  yeah that’s what criminals do. Order through chaos.
    2
  792.  @fuqupal  hopefully not to the music of Mayhem. They are terrible
    2
  793. actually, it is from 2015
    2
  794. what social state? If the state were more social, there wouldn’t be so much homelessness.
    2
  795. The documentary is from 2012.
    2
  796. 😀
    2
  797.  @jackroro7381  it’s because he IS German. He’s been in Germany since he was 5.
    2
  798. awesome! Onwards and upwards!
    2
  799. i know. Crazy crazy. It was so surreal
    2
  800. See and that’s awesome.
    2
  801. and you know this how?
    2
  802.  @Eye2Sky4U  I don’t know 🫤
    2
  803.  @kuromimmi  🤣
    2
  804. fair point
    2
  805.  @InmanXIV  that just makes me mad
    2
  806. as i mentioned, we checked the sound via several sources. On all our equipment, the sound passes the quality checks.

  807. A combination of bad policies and political apathy is speeding up climate change. Have we reached the tipping point? Can it be reversed?

  809.  @lindamccray2493  Something to Believe In (feat. Aloe Blacc & Nas) by Fashawn
    2
  810. i’d also call it lack of common sense and ignorance
    2
  811. It's not THE answer but it certainly is a huge part of it. Higher Education is great but there will always be a minimum wage job and the wages need to be higher because so many people work in minimum wage jobs.
    2
  812.  @Storyteller_H  thank you for your concern. We obtain all the rights for all our documentaries shown on our channel.
    2
  813.  @LettyMatamoros  Indeed
    2
  814. Indeed
    2
  815.  @Ibrahim86373  all our documentaries are either licensed or in-house productions. Like Netflix or Prime or countless other streamers. That’s how it works. Oh, and fyi: this doc is not a Chinese production. It is produced by a UK company.
    2
  816. it did once but not anymore. However, they still remain powerful and very very wealthy.
    2
  817. 😢 i know
    2
  818.  @matildamarmaduke1096  you probably know this but Big Brother comes from the George Orwell novel 1984. If you haven’t read it, you should. It’s very good and also disturbing.
    2
  819. thank you for a great comment.
    2
  820. It’s never due to one person’s or administration’s actions. If you think one person is responsible then you don’t know how systems work. It takes decades to steer societies and influence things. Decades. Either for the good or for the bad
    2
  821. Indeed. Democracy is work. It doesn’t just happen. It’s up to us to hold government officials accountable. Protest, free speech, journalism - crucial.
    2
  822.  @joe_3y3s  it was before I knew him and he seems to think it was the best option. 🤷‍♀️ As long as he’s happy I guess but yeah I agree. Was pretty drastic.
    2
  823.  @joe_3y3s  I have no idea. I’m guessing it was the only way? His physician was a plastic surgeon. They took skin off his thigh.
    2
  824.  @jessicamills1365  This is interesting you commenting today: i was speaking with a family friend and he said that the skinheads he knew back in the 1980s were not extremist and actually originated from a Jamaican culture. Forget the name kap? kov? something like that. The movement was later hijacked by extremists.
    2
  825. This one is also about his life obviously
    2
  826. the ways to help are so simple yet it's never done. Or hardly ever. Is it really because some people are so inherently evil? I dunno.
    2
  827. i always think that too.
    2
  828. It’s called Penguin’s Game by Gelato. I found the English Version but I believe they are singing a chinese version in the documentary.

  829.  @heatherj1267  the orphanage has a website. http://www.sunvillage.com.cn/en/our-history We have no affiliation with Mrs Zhang so i can’t vouch for it’s legitimacy.
    2
  830.  @buddahnirvana  there is and I believe her name has been submitted to the Nobel Prize committee. Maybe one year she will actually win and deservedly so.
    2
  831. I don’t know tbh. I imagine it is a difficult undertaking. Do they even allow organizations like the Red Cross and similar into the country?
    2
  832.  @juliettdreams461  I don’t know. They have a website. http://www.sunvillage.com.cn/ We have no affiliation with them but you are welcome to check it out.
    2
  833. I’ve been doing some research. So far no luck. I will post here on Community if and when I find a trusted source.

  836. As of July 11, 35 incidents of school shootings were recorded in the United States in 2024, impacting K-12 school grounds and college campuses nationwide. In comparison, there were 82 school shooting incidents recorded in 2023. In addition to schools, gun-related violence occurs in many public places within the United States, including workplaces, churches, restaurants, and nightclubs. Mass shootings in churches are on the rise. What was once considered a sanctuary of peace and solemnity has now become a target for hatred. According to the Faith Based Security Network, there had never been a mass shooting on a faith-based property before 1963, yet there have already been four this year in Christian churches alone (from 2022) The U.S. set a record pace for mass killings in 2023, replaying the horror on a loop roughly once a week so far this year. The carnage has taken 88 lives in 17 mass killings over 111 days. Each time, the killers wielded firearms. Only 2009 was marked by as many such tragedies in the same period of time.
    2
  837. Very good 👍
    2
  838. True that 😬
    2
  839.  @carpo719  But it is relevant because you either profited or suffered based on the advantages or disadvantages your ancestors had. We are not born into singular worlds independent of history. We just aren’t. One should at the very least recognize that. And hopefully, act accordingly. And just be a nice person.
    2
  840.  @CkWilD  it’ll get there. It was released 3 hours ago.
    2
  841.  @ZZ-ly1jf  That does not sound like fun.
    2
  842. I will pass this on to be checked. Thanks!
    2
  843. thanks for visiting. I lived in Amsterdam for three years. Great place 🥰
    2
  844. yeah I don’t really understand how you can feel good about what you’re doing. Having said that, they wouldn’t be billionaires if they gave any sort of ykw
    2
  845. I can’t answer the f sugar causes myopia but it’s definitely addictive and the cause of so many health issues. Did you know that until sugar production was industrialized, it was a luxury, often kept in table - small silver treasure chests with a lock and key to be used on the rarest of occasions. Something to think about.
    2
  846. 😀
    2
  847.  @DaLibOfYoutube  They’re children and don’t deserve to have their homes bombed. That’s what you call a war crime.
    2
  848.  @EyFmS  insufferable is such a good word and perfect to describe them (the billionaires) Here’s the thing about measuring one’s success with stuff: its vacuous and fleeting. And infinite. They feel they have to outdo themselves each time which is why it is a futile undertaking and they’ll never be truly happy. Now I am not knocking have enough money. Having enough to allow you a certain freedom: awesome. But billionaire territory comes at the expense of all of us.

  849. different topic different doc
    2
  850. Glad you think so! 😊
    2
  851. wouldn’t you resist arrest out of fear of being beaten or killed while in custody?
    2
  852. We’ll check and see what’s going on. Thanks.
    2
  853. Thanks 😀
    2
  854. Putting one’s self in a position like that, there will always be an imbalance because the one with the money rules. I would never give up my freedom to do that. Freedom is priceless.
    2
  855.  @SinaLaJuanaLewis  I agree our system is broken but this sugar daddy thing isn’t a modern phenomenon though. It has a centuries old tradition.
    2
  856. @ c19? You mean corona? This one was released 2023 and filmed partially during lockdowns. We’ve got almost 400 docs in our library. So no. A fraction would be accurate.
    2
  857. how was not every person who wasn’t a pedophile out on the streets protesting? I don’t understand
    2
  858. wow. I did not know that.
    2
  859. It’s different for sure.
    2
  860. Thanks for your comment. I have to admit this doc belongs to one of my absolute favorites so yeah 👍🏻
    2
  861. it is absolutely crazy.
    2
  862.  @IOSAGifts  excellent :) and we’ve loads more too. PLAYLISTS 👉🏼 organized by topic and here you’ll find daily recommendations from the team
    2
  863.  @PabloThiam  Glad you liked this. I did too. This has become one of my favorite documentaries. :)
    2
  864. oh good. We like hearing that :)
    2
  865. No. Not really. While no government is free of corruption and misconduct, certainly, some really are there to do a decent job.
    2
  866. Hi, in the moment all documentaries are only available in english.
    2
  867.  @Ouchmyeargotshot  They’re sick. Have some compassion.
    2
  868.  @ArchieZA  awesome. Seriously awesome
    2
  869. me too
    2
  870. good to hear you doing good. Wow. What a journey. Truly impressive. Stay well and thanks so much for sharing.
    2
  871. awesome. Keep checking back here and let us know how it’s going okay?

  872. We will pass on your good wishes

  873.  @saxyben81  I’m going through comments and found this one. Any news you have, we’re here.
    2
  874. It’s too bad and tragic so many people can’t see the beauty and fulfillment in simple kindness and things. It’s an f-upped society.
    2
  875. shouldn’t one find out the cause of the pain? Surely it can’t be the solution to take pain killers
    2
  876.  @daneo617  😂
    2
  877.  @williamboteo7210  you may want to edit that sentence.
    2
  878. i know yikes 😬
    2
  879. thanks 😀
    2
  880. The masses have been kept complacent with junk food, cheap stuff to buy and bad public education.
    2
  881.  @DG-ie5ip  tell them what? I have no idea what you are talking about. What I agreed with was that alcohol is just as bad if not worse than cannabis. And it’s more readily available in most places.
    2
  882. thank for this comment. Sharing one’s experiences is important and helpful. Thanks again
    2
  883.  @SuperMikki77  gotcha. Thanks for explaining. :)
    2
  884. it really is heartbreaking and really distressing hearing Carol call, leave messages, reaching out. 😖
    2
  885. great comment. Thank you for sharing that.
    2
  886. i know. What a tragedy
    2
  887. thank you for sharing your story and your insight into postpartum depression. You’re definitely helping people by sharing.
    2
  888.  @harrdelli234  in your opinion it’s a bad choice. Other people have different opinions and everyone can decide for themselves
    2
  889. it’s called choice
    2
  890. thnk you for sharing and all the best to you and your family!
    2
  891. It’s true that. The celebrity moms are horrible influencers and honestly, they should know that. They should stand up sand say: I have money, I have a massive support system and it’s still not a piece of cake. Low income moms look at these “role models” and consciously or subconsciously try to emulate them. I understand it also has to do with surroundings, their social structure etc. But raising a kid, one kid is so hard. Being overwhelmed by multiple kids is kinda not a surprise. They need help. They need to be educated. And treated when the worst case scenario applies- in this case Postpartum psychosis.
    2
  892.  @AurorasJournals  yes
    2
  893. yeah I also find it hard to understand why one does this (have another kid then another)
    2
  894. Serious
    2
  895. thanks for sharing and respect to you for recognizing your own depression and for seeking help. Anyone reading this: do the same. Get help. That’s important.
    2
  896.  @Slachelle1123  good luck and just keep asking until you get the help you need. There are good people out there and that’s what they’re there for.
    2
  897.  @robinsullivan4222  I am so sorry to hear that. The only thing we can do: spread the word so that everyone who needs help isn’t afraid to ask and also gets professional help. And i hope things are better for you.
    2
  898. no of course it’s not. The majority of Americans are sane. But there’s still too many who aren’t.
    2
  899.  @marybee7986  the Sunday thing and stores being closed has more to do with tradition rather than indoctrination. There is no book banning, ten commandments hanging in classrooms or hordes of bible thumpers. It’s all pretty chill.
    2
  900. posting an all caps crazy is not helping your case
    2
  901. good one
    2
  902. that definitely applies to a lot of parents i know.
    2
  903.  @HansJrgenFurfjord  If you care to check out our playlists, we have documentaries reporting on events across the board, from around the world.
    2
  904. Thank you although it’s not good that it’s gotten worse. Take care of yourself. It’s scary out there.
    2
  905.  @ngonzales3781  We are showing a documentary on events happening in different countries. Can’t get more real than that.
    2
  906. Good job. And that’s it - that’s the recipe. You have to have a main focus to work toward. A lot of people think short term, instant gratification. Nothing worth having is going to be easy. The sooner you learn that, the better off you are going to be.
    2
  907. I often wonder about that too.
    2
  908. Glad you were able to make it back. Casinos should band together, fund an organization to get people off the streets. A solution is fairly simple and straightforward but getting there is the hard part. Stay well Mr. Blonde
    2
  909.  @juya12345  I hope you have professional accompaniment. Also it sounds very ambitious. 215 isn’t that big you know. You can take more time. Just saying.
    2
  910. Good luck! I hope you have consulted with a professional. Staying healthy and safe is most important okay?
    2
  911. congratulations! It really is hard even loosing a couple of lbs. So you can be proud!
    2
  912.  @jrs673  awesome. Just awesome. You'll be an awesome gramps. For sure.
    2
  913. I’m with you. You do something out of passion and conviction. Plus who wants to be dependent on someone? No f way. I’d rather be poor.
    2
  914. Thank you for sharing this. I really do wish you well :/
    2
  915. Good luck! Keep me posted. If you need encouragement we’re here. Also, please do it with medical supervision okay? You need help from the professionals too.
    2
  916.  @BobNewheart-yn3lc  Best talk to someone who does it.
    2
  917. Thanks😀
    2
  918. z @lithgowlights859 long term employment has no tradition in the United States. I mean, not on a larger scale. It was pretty common in most European countries and has since changed though, molding itself more to the US employers-employees mo. But the rare companies one finds where tradition, experience and also a sense a loyalty which goes both ways, are usually extremely successful. These relationships can be felt in mysterious ways in the product itself. And it’s awesome
    2
  919.  @samson7184  it’s a Mozart piano concerto nr 21

  924.  @blazethealaskanmalamute4633  i can only always say i’m sorry for your loss 😞 And you’re right: help is out there. Find the strength to ask for it! There’s no shame or nothing weak about asking. The contrary. It shows you’re smart. Thank you for sharing this. It’s not easy. I wish you and your family and friends who knew her only good things

  925. there’s a poll to check out on Community. That will answer your question

  930. Sad but true.
    2
  931. I definitly agree on the negligence causing death. The rest not really sure. Thanks for watching and giving your opinion.
    2
  932. I would hope so.
    2
  933. yep. White people were really just so full of themselves and pretty horrible. It didn’t even occur to them to the places they “discovered” were only new to them but not to the people ALREADY LIVING THERE.
    2
  934.  @kathrynperry992  John Pilger passed away in 2023. Over the course of 146 years during the “Australian Frontier Wars” from 1788-1934, approx 5000 soldiers, militia and police were killed. The number of Aboriginals killed officially in the white man’s records: 1000 although that number is likely much higher. Overall, in my opinion, John Pilger was a fantastic investigative journalist and his documentaries live on.
    2
  935. i’m pretty sure we are capable of doing things. No need to wait for “god”
    2
  936. Thank you too

  937.  @binyoung7297  He was.
    2
  938. it’s the same in the US too: rightwing is just bad news

  940. absolutely

  941. Dutch
    2
  942.  @KhuloodShahzad  okay those comparisons are ridiculous sorry. And as you may or may not know, rape is a crime. We were talking about freedom of choice to dress as one chooses.
    2
  943. wow. So glad you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for stopping by to let us know!
    2
  944. Glad you enjoyed it

  945.  @woodmowwoodmow  maybe for them it is. Well, for the men at least.

  946. Charlie Hebdo was in France and I have no idea what you actually mean.

  947. not yet

  948. you know what i hold high? That they left again when their work was done as opposed to try to bring people in. You know? Like the catholic church for example still does today throughout Africa. Thanks for this.
    1
  949. what?
    1
  950. @ Oh stop trying to distract and deflect using whataboutism. This is a documentary about Afghanistan. It’s wonderful about the infrastructure projects the Taliban have made happen. It’s called normal governing. That’s what you pay taxes for. Alas, it still doesn’t change the fact women in Afghanistan have no rights. They are treated worse than dogs. It is a tragedy for all the wonderful smart women there.
    1
  951.  @cityclips8479  What big projects? What development? If you know anything other than stripping women of all rights, denying them the right to education, working and even speaking in public, please do share.
    1
  952.  @Noneya605  the licensing deals. It means another channel has the rights
    1
  953. it’s scary for sure.

  954.  @russell32784  that’s just sad and tragic for everyone involved. I am so sorry.
    1
  955. you’re making medication work for you instead of the other way around.
    1
  956. While professional advice is certainly necessary at times, it’s important to always listen to one’s inner voice because no one knows you better than you. Glad you made it.
    1
  957.  @lethabrooks9112  you are absolutely right that many do benefit and lead a better life for it. No question. Meds should always be prescribed with great care. And patients informed.
    1
  958.  @debbieyash1679  Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry it’s been so hard. I do hope it changes for the better. I really do.
    1
  959. that sums it up quite nicely
    1
  960. We get a lot of stories from you guys out there and we are grateful for each story. Because mr 1 it takes courage to share and nr 2 you give people out there hope and a virtual hug so they don’t feel alone or isolated with their problems. So thank you. And i hope you are feeling better. It sounds like it. (and btw: it is truly criminal what some doctors do. I emphasize some. There are responsible professionals out there. One just has to find them.)
    1
  961.  @unumverumbonum2156  you mean the music over the credits? As far as I know, it’s an original score made for the documentary. Maybe it just sounds similar to something you’ve heard?
    1
  962. hope you’re doing better now
    1
  963.  @olive3700  I agree. Absolutely. There are many disorders/illnesses that absolutely need treatment. I hope people can distinguish.
    1
  964. Now, while this documentary is great, I do urge you to seek professional help on your journey going forward. That’s important okay? All the people on this doc also had help tapering off the drugs. Because it’s hard. But i know you’ll make it. It’d be awesome to hear back from you regularly. We are here 😀
    1
  965. I hope you are able to get help and assistance while tapering off.
    1
  966. As with many things, there is a middle ground. Psych Meds are crucial for some mental disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder etc. while other less severe disorders don’t always need psych meds or not long term. As you say: patients need to do their homework. Ask questions.

  972.  @bichonbuffo  I honestly don’t know what to say. There have been so many stories of doctors and/or teachers recommending psychiatric meds to kids. It is criminal. Good for you having the wherewithal to toss them. Wow. Just wow.

  980. You need to get some help first of all. Talk to someone. That someone will help you find a good day again. It won’t be easy. Nothing worthwhile is. But life is definitely worthwhile. There’s a lot of sh&t. But there is also a lot of awesome. You‘ll see that when you’re better. But you got to get help.

  983. Here’s what I would suggest: do seek out professional help. But now you are aware of the dangers of over medication. Shop around for a place, for people who you feel good about. And I wish you lots of strength and all good things.

  984. good point and if all medical professionals do is pass on what the drug companies are selling, you can save yourself a lot on student loans

Or did they report it similar to what you’ve written here? That medication did not help him. That medication made him worse off culminating in a terrible tragedy.

    1
  1044. that’s the corporate way but what they don’t understand is that people buying things make them profitable so it would be smart to actually pay decent wages long term. You know and avoid upheaval,radicalization and decline. But the corporations are like vampires: suck all the lifeblood out of a society and then move on.

  1047.  @uncleartax  Compared to other Western industrialized countries, the United States devotes far fewer resources to programs aimed at assisting the economically vulnerable. In fact, the U.S. allocates a smaller proportion of its GDP to social welfare programs than virtually any other industrialized country.

  1059.  @GotGoatMilk  Some jobs make it possible to work remotely but not all of course so you have to be close. Personally, i believe the housing market needs regulation to avoid the situation some areas in the US are in now: unaffordable.

  1060.  @David-p7z9n  I disagree. There are people who take pride in their jobs. They’re “unqualified” based on a value system that is completely out of whack. A value system that rewards greed. At all costs.

  1065.  @Losluna02  and it has been decades in the making. That’s what deregulation with little to no government oversight does. Because the corporations only care about profit for their shareholders. I know it’s more complicated but in a nutshell - that’s the crux of it.

  1074. First of all, thanks for sharing. Congratulations! You’ve done awesome job and you’re using common sense keeping healthy. It is so shortsighted making junk food cheap and therefore a main staple for poor people. Because they often suffer from bad health which in turn strains medical care. And of course, poor people are less likely to be as educated about healthy eating.

  1095.  @slickshewz  If you're looking at global statistics, the answer is yes it is. The average height for a man worldwide is 5 feet 7.5 inches. In the US, it’s 5’9”. Either way, people are too fat
    1
  1096. well said
    1
  1097.  @Roman-pq6fy  yeah i don’t understand those people. It can’t be pleasant being overweight. This kid needs to get off his a and walk. Etc etc Sounds like there are good people around trying to help. It’s either do it now or learn the hard way. A hard way will come if he doesn’t change his habits.
    1
  1098. I always feel really bad for kids who are overweight. I mean this kid is an adult but he’s probably been struggling his entire life .
    1
  1099.  @abhithakor5664  Tess. Hollliday
    1
  1100.  @Zitera  It definitely is a big factor. When i was a kid, i had to beg my mom to buy chips or a soft drink. She only rarely said yes. And then go on a rant how bad it was for you.
    1
  1101. and at home
    1
  1102. Multiple factors play a role here: many foods do have ingredients that lead to addiction (preservatives, flavorings. etc) paired with aggressive advertising & packaging. That leads to overconsumption and a sedentary lifestyle resulting in overweight which can lead to depression etc. So it’s a chain of factors. If a person is extremely overweight/obese, it’s very hard to break the habits because the body is definitely addicted to whatever is in the food. Help is needed from that point forward sure
    1
  1103. yes well that’s the hard part
    1
  1104. 1 kg = 2.2 lbs you know that it’s easy to convert
    1
  1105. has it? for the better we hope
    1
  1106.  @kabbahthoronkaExden  you can make choices. If the information gets too overwhelming, eating food that doesn’t come in a box or frozen is a good rule of thumb because these foods have a long list of ingredients (additives, preservatives, etc). Best fresh.
    1
  1107. Good comment. Thank you. The obesity problem is complex. It’s never just one thing that causes something. It’s a whole array of factors. And won’t be solved with the wave of a magic pill a la ozempic. Shortcuts always have a downside. The only way is awareness and walking the walk. That means healthy food and exercise.

  1112.  @oofogman420oo2 exactly and thank you. A voice of reason.
    1
  1113.  @lonelystarinisrael  It also has to do with culture. American culture. Fast food IS American culture. The brands the ads the jingles. There is no food culture per se like the Italians, the French, Japanese, Spanish and many other cultures have that are based on actually cooking real food. Of course the people coming to America brought their food culture and it certainly exists but it doesn’t have the publicity and marketing behind it that fast food America does. So I do believe that is also one important reason why it’s so popular and why there’s such a big problem with obesity. If you look, at the countries fast food chains have been exported to also had/have a spike in child obesity. And that’s where it all begins .

  1119. @ yeah no I agree with you on that. When you come to another country you have to be willing to learn the language, establish yourself, and work. Regarding benefits: I’m skeptical a non- citizen gets anything tbh. The US is super strict and hardly gives benefits to its citizens let alone illegal immigrants.

  1131.  @julianshalders6047  that’s good. It’s a nasty nasty method. I was just watching a doc on Louisiana (one of the swing states I think). They were talking to some guy who worked for a gas company. He was ecstatic that gas reserves had been found in his area. “drill baby drill” and laughed. I wonder what he’ll say five, ten years down the line.
    1
  1132. If only that were true (that common sense prevails) I saw a report on Louisiana (they were talking about swing states) and one of the guys they spoke with was looking forward to major drilling ie fracking in his area. “Drill baby drill” he said and laughed. This guy was obviously unaware or didn’t care about the consequences as long as he had a good paying job. And that’s how they do it: they promise jobs. Nobody asks what the long term cost is.

  1160. Don’t you think people have the right to live without fear of being shot when they go to the friggin Dollar store? I do.
    1
  1161. yep. That’s exactly it: having a gun increases the danger to life 100%
    1
  1162.  @rhvreramon  I cannot imagine what that must have been like
    1
  1163.  @dejuaneubanks4205  😮
    1
  1164. It’s the east access to guns that puts them in the hands of irresponsible thugs. THAT’S the problem.
    1
  1165. thanks for sharing this. Always great to get experience from other parts of the world.
    1
  1166.  @lisaschmidt8642  Firstly, I am seriously ecstatic your son is alive. What trauma. When you have almost 400 million firearms in possession, it’ seems almost inevitable you’ll get shot. There’s the “right to bear arms” Isn’t it valid to live without fear of getting shot?
    1
  1167. Thank you for sharing this here. The way you describe it - traumatic is all I can say. The situation is the US is just out of control. But you know this. First hand. Why does the “right to bear arms” beat the right to live? I will never ever understand this insanity. Thanks again and take care of yourself.
    1
  1168. Thanks :)
    1
  1169. I know they believe that’s the only thing that matters. I also believe it’s a shortsighted MO because the fallout from such the ethos of profit and greed is a crumbling society and poverty. Surely it has to be in their interest to have a flourishing society.
    1
  1170. It’s true: one does wonder now as to why some foods aren’t available or to a much lesser extent. One must be suspicious of everything.
    1
  1171. Ich glaub manchmal lieben Menschen ein Fascist weil es einfacher für sie ist. Es gibt einen der sagt was sie zu tun haben. Was sie nicht verinnerlichen oder erst wenn’s zu spät ist: sie haben ihre kostbare Freiheit geopfert
    1
  1172. not that I know of. To test, I’ve shared it to several people via Signal, Whatsapp and email. While it disappeared on the first go (weird) it worked across the board second time round.
    1
  1173. it’s annihilation. Not inhalation.
    1
  1174. aha.
    1
  1175.  @BiblesBrother  margin of error? 🤷🏻‍♂️
    1
  1176. what?
    1
  1177. Thanks for watching 😁
    1
  1178. yeah no I don’t agree. The UN has the thankless job of negotiating behind the scenes trying to fix things, small things, big things. Sure there are quid pro quo deals but on the whole, the UN really tries. And it is completely thankless because everyone bashes the UN for being ineffective. This documentary gave me personally insight into that process. I understand a little more what it is they are trying to do. It’s not big and loud and banging. It’s the minutiae of the daily grind trying to hold it together in the conflict zones of this world
    1
  1179. actually it’s people who help.
    1
  1180.  @TheGrantourismo  what is your statement based on?
    1
  1181. Well said.
    1
  1182. You’re very welcome
    1
  1183. No.
    1
  1184. um. sure.
    1
  1185. Thank you! I will pass this on to the makers.
    1
  1186. I do believe the UN is aware of that fact.
    1
  1187. good idea but i have a feeling he’s not buying
    1
  1188. glad you liked it
    1
  1189. a lawyer who has experience with this type of stuff
    1
  1190. I don’t know tbh but probably not held accountable
    1
  1191.  @roseallport3907  This is right out of a dystopian novel. 1978? How is this even possible?
    1
  1192.  @candicane1  no. they don't. Some people don't have the strength to do it on their own. It's frustrating - I get it. I think to myself: dude, get your shit together. But not everyone can. It's a personality thing. And it's not a bad character trait. They still deserve to live with dignity, you know? Your mom obviously is made of sterner stuff and bravo to her for sure. Really. I can't imagine. You have an awesome role model.
    1
  1193. If you think anyone chooses that you’re wrong. Maybe they’re just too exhausted trying to make ends meet to “learn new skills”
    1
  1194. The doc was originally done with commercial breaks in mind and the repetition is a device often used when people tune out for ads
    1
  1195. Honestly, I find it shocking and deeply depressing so many of you out there have had or are still having the experience of living in your cars. It seems like you are out. I hope it stays that way. Best wishes to you!
    1
  1196. there should be a course taught at school. Really. Living beyond our means has become a plague with often dire outcomes
    1
  1197.  @kaktusas7777777  I know what you mean
    1
  1198. This kind of homelessness has been around for decades. The social net has been hollowed out by administrations who tell you to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Hmm, wonder who that is.
    1
  1199. exactly. Ghettos with over-privileged knobs turn vibrant cities into deserts
    1
  1200.  @HawkyForLife-j8n  the kindness of strangers.
    1
  1201. this is a documentary not a Hollywood movie. The budgets a fraction. Please consider that. I’m not saying it’s ideal but it’s the reality. Let’s be happy someone dared to tackle this topic.
    1
  1202.  @freedomforthebrave  what are coners?
    1
  1203.  @jeanoliver3573  Some were arrested and were in prison for one year.
    1
  1204. Agree!
    1
  1205.  @Qulize  one down.
    1
  1206.  @TorpisoulYT  we are aware as our pinned comment explains
    1
  1207. The term traveller refers to anyone who has a nomadic way of life. It can not only refer to Irish Travellers or Romany Gypsies, but also those who live on the road for economic reasons
    1
  1208.  @Becky_Cal  yep. Agree. Never be dependent on anyone but yourself.
    1
  1209. Losing one’s home is something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.
    1
  1210.  @brookesanders1621  look around you. Talk to people. Help someone who needs it. Do your research before ticking that box on the ballot. Read about how others did it in turbulent times. Sophie Scholl. Schindler. Karl Plagge - they’re historical figures but they made differences in their world that has reverberated around the world. Change takes time. We all want it to happen right away, you know, like in the movies. It takes time. It’s worth every effort.
    1
  1211. @ it would wouldn’t it :)
    1
  1212.  @木頭人-f1g  yes it is
    1
  1213.  @LadyFrost1971  indeed. It’s often hard for people to ask for it. It shouldn’t be. Because we’re here to help each other no?
    1
  1214. I disagree. Everyone should be able to live a dignified life ie earn enough to be able to feed their families, have a decent home and the possibility to get a decent education. I wouldn’t want to be at the whim of a rich person. There is enough to go around so that everyone can earn a decent living.
    1
  1215.  @jermaintambaz  If you don’t want your tax dollars spent on military aid, you should think of moving because that’s never going to change. Providing military aid to other countries is big business in the US. And fyi illegals do not receive financial aid in the US.
    1
  1216. We probably license from the same distributors. That’s why. And what’s certainly the case: our licensing areas will differ from DW.
    1
  1217. Oh boy. Sure. Okay.
    1
  1218. because it a documentary made by european filmmakers
    1
  1219. @ it is a good way to live. Good luck to you.
    1
  1220. because the documentary was made and produced initially for a European audience. And they use Euros. Conversion is easy - it's approx. 1:1 with the dollar worth slightly more at this time (today)
    1
  1221. probably because it’s a place they know. Not everyone has the gumption to pick up and go somewhere new
    1
  1222. Because it’s a documentary produced in Europe and initially made for a European audience
    1
  1223. Yep.
    1
  1224. Because it’s a documentary produced initially for a European audience
    1
  1225. 👍🏻
    1
  1226. there you go. There’s a saying: you save one person, you save the whole world.
    1
  1227. good luck to you on your travels of life :)
    1
  1228. The doc was originally made for a European audience hence euros. $1=0.93 €
    1
  1229. This was produced in Europe so they got it right. $1.08 = 1€
    1
  1230. then vote for someone who does
    1
  1231.  @GStern  I know. I’m a US citizen living in Europe and I have to say i can’t even understand the US health insurance thing. It’s complicated and expensive. I’ve also spoken to many EU doctors who have spent time in US hospitals and they said the horror they saw there was simply unheard of for the most part in Europe. Inoperable tumors because they couldn’t come in earlier due to no coverage. Rotting teeth for the same reason. The list goes on. It’s such a mess.
    1
  1232. you’ve got a very good point there.Sadly, they don’t even realize it.
    1
  1233. trump doesn’t need our help. He does perfectly well on his own
    1
  1234. what’s your point?
    1
  1235.  @hansendesigns  yep
    1
  1236. Hope you doing okay now.
    1
  1237. Because it was produced in Europe 1 € = $1.08
    1
  1238.  @bruceburns1672  except for some living in the United States who don’t get out much. They’re stuck in time and still believe it’s the greatest country
    1
  1239. not nice is putting it mildly and you're being too kind.
    1
  1240.  @supernaz11  I’ll never ever get my head around the fact how it’s possible to have homeless people at all. At least not beyond the duration of a few days. Seriously. But there’s no money for to have a task force specially delegated to tackle the homelessness issue. It is shameful .
    1
  1241. Because it was produced in Europe. And if you care to look it up, you’ll find in worth they’re pretty much equal. $1.08 = €1
    1
  1242.  @gregmchale5011  The primary reason for our stalled progress on poverty reduction has to do with the fact that we have not confronted the unrelenting exploitation of the poor in the labor, housing and financial markets. If that’s not addressed, it’s only going to get worse.
    1
  1243. No. It’s trying to point out there is a problem. And if it’s the best place in the world, it shouldn’t be a problem to fix it.
    1
  1244. no it’s not and i wish for you it’ll get better.
    1
  1245. pretty much
    1
  1246. it’s pretty much the same. But they meant euros because it was a doc made for a euro audience
    1
  1247. because this documentary was produced within the EU
    1
  1248.  @robertmcgormley3446  it was made in Europe.
    1
  1249. Because this is a european produced documentary
    1
  1250. my dad always says: you can’t take it with you. And it’s true. Plus all the stuff they buy. So much stuff. For what? Status? If you are lucky to have enough money, do something sensible with it like making this world better. Change someone’s life.
    1
  1251.  @DizzyRM  definitely a mess
    1
  1252.  @Teisharocz  are you asking before or after you’ve seen the documentary?
    1
  1253. The point is to inform and discuss. Thanks for watching.
    1
  1254. 😬
    1
  1255. which is why we have to take the time to research what we consume. It’s not that hard. There is chocolate you can buy that doesn’t exploit the farmers.
    1
  1256. It is very important to discuss this with your kids and to let them know whatever it is, if they think something’s weird or hurts them or bothers them - no matter what - they got a place, a person to talk to - you as a parent should be that person. Having said that, help a kid in despair if you can. Sometimes they can’t talk to their parents
    1
  1257.  @campbellmorrison8540  it shows the progression of the Wagner Group and gives context.
    1
  1258.  @noslengashi1390  disclaimer in the text box underneath the video. check it out.
    1
  1259. If you care to look, we have documentaries covering those topics.
    1
  1260. It is.
    1
  1261.  @Que-Lindo  welcome!
    1
  1262. I sure didn’t learn this. All I learned is that it became the 50th state in 1959.
    1
  1263.  @JamilaJibril-e8h  why is this 8 face funny?
    1
  1264.  @dragoonseye76  that’s why people like Mark and many others are here. To help. That’s what some of us do in some way, shape or form. Keep plugging on because it’s worth it.
    1
  1265.  @lovethewoods3836  Reach out to organizations near you or near where they are. Or speak to them. Ask them what they want.
    1
  1266.  @Tomtaylor7337  Okay. Well, thank you so much for your suggestion. I will make sure the team sees this. Let’s see what happens.
    1
  1267. Either which way, this has reached crisis level and it needs to change. Thanks for commenting!
    1
  1268.  @alfiesdad4757  not at all. And awesome you liked it :)
    1
  1269.  @leapfrogg  pretty much yeah
    1
  1270. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  1271. thanks for the heads up. We’ll look into it.
    1
  1272. sounds simple enough to achieve
    1
  1273. yes i do understand it’s not the easiest documentary to watch as the subtitles are also too small. We got this documentary like that but we do need to change that to make it more accessible. Thanks for giving it a go though.
    1
  1274. well said!
    1
  1275.  @Zinkronicedemo  Keep in touch if you can to let us know how you are doing okay? If you use this thread. I’ll get the notifications.
    1
  1276. Hey, hope you find a way. Take care
    1
  1277. Honestly, alcohol I find much more dangerous than cannabis: it makes many people aggressive and road deaths due to drunk driving? Hello?
    1
  1278. I don’t know the answer to that but I’m sure there’s someone here who can. All the best to you!
    1
  1279. glad you were able to get off the meds. Bad news.
    1
  1280. Thank you for sharing your experience. That is so important.
    1
  1281. I don’t know anything about this just that it works and that honestly makes me super happy you all have benefited from them.
    1
  1282. where do you get your news? The French do not serve wine with kids’ lunches. My son went to pre-school in Paris.
    1
  1283.  @briankistner4331  it’s really just exploding head unbelievable
    1
  1284. hell yeah
    1
  1285.  @drstone1167  yes they should and it is a disgrace
    1
  1286.  @CHOWNINGjw  yes it should
    1
  1287. it sounds fine over my headphones. I’ll check again. thanks
    1
  1288.  @properlylive6021  agree! Do some vets not know this? They should do.
    1
  1289. de nada
    1
  1290.  @theL0VERS  in the text box that information is provided: 2015. Which makes it 9 years old. If you feel the situation has changed, please do let us know.
    1
  1291. yes she got a full time job waitressing, and she has several bookings from local organisations to speak with teens about drug and alcohol prevention.
    1
  1292.  @tomstarr1779  time code please
    1
  1293. great comment though. Thanks for that. Puts things into perspective and it is very disheartening
    1
  1294. that’s not a lot either
    1
  1295. Go do a 8 hr shift at Walgreens for a week before dissing the person who finds it exhausting. Without healthcare without paid sick leave. With the stress of unpaid bills, etc.
    1
  1296. agree
    1
  1297. I mean, maybe not completely but we do have to take responsibility and hold those accountable who are supposed to represent us.
    1
  1298. Yeah I generally don’t get the obsession with splashy weddings. These people watch too much tv. Or are celebrity obsessed. I don’t know which.
    1
  1299. There’s also the option that the profits are slightly lower of the corporations so that people can live with a bit of dignity. And, they’d spend more if they had more which in turn will ensure profits. It’s a win win situation but some people want you to believe prices will go up. Like it’s the only way. That is such utter BS. Shareholders would get slightly less. It always pays to invest in people. ALWAYS
    1
  1300. 2015

  1301. Thanks!

  1302.  @Moorea2008  Director is Jon Bowermaster. The original title is Dear President Biden which will help if you want more information. The narrator is Tim Guinee.
    1
  1303. Thank you! We’ll make sure the filmmakers get this message.
    1
  1304.  @johndowns7536  really? Because they don’t want to die of cancer?
    1
  1305.  @Campaigner82  I agree. The filmmakers did a really good job.
    1
  1306.  @5428hfsg  they suffer in silence. Thats not right.
    1
  1307. I’m so sorry 😞
    1
  1308.  @DaveA.L-b1f  i hope more happiness comes your way. Like a lot of it.
    1
  1309. Wow. Thank you so much. Really. Hope you are doing well. All the best to you.
    1
  1310. oh really? All magnanimous and selfless? BS
    1
  1311. really?
    1
  1312. thanks 🙏 you!
    1
  1313.  @whygohome172  oh I totally understand that. However, what they do understand is cold hard cash. And if they see - maybe - how strapped people are - unable to buy and consume contrary to what some think happens when you keep the wages at starvation levels - it makes business sense to pay people more so that they thrive. And buy.
    1
  1314. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  1315. Absolutely. Most People/General public change their ways when forced ie it gets too expensive to continue being a mass consumer of plastics.
    1
  1316. So you prefer a dictator? Good luck with that.
    1
  1317. We pay for the licensing rights for every single documentary we show on the platform. Or we produce our own. Either way shame on you for making completely unsubstantiated claims.
    1
  1318. aha
    1
  1319. pretty much.
    1
  1320. 2022
    1
  1321. a friend of mine had an entire sleeve removed. Surgery, skin grafts. He’s happy now though
    1
  1322.  @brianschepens9371  good luck! I mean, it’s not luck really. Best wishes for you. There.
    1
  1323.  @snakefinger  Indeed
    1
  1324. nice comment. I’m guessing you’re from a Scandinavian country who’s moved to Portugal or thereabouts. And you’re right. People in the do-called poorer countries have way more zest and joy for life. I’ve worked and lived in Austria and Germany a lot. Wealthy well-off countries: all everyone does is complain. I tell them to go live in the US for a while and then come back.
    1
  1325. really? You think so? Hmm. Gotta think about that.
    1
  1326. Sorry you feel that way. All good channels on the platform show ads. No revenue from ads no documentaries. It’s a simple equation for us. Good quality docs aren’t cheap to license. Sorry to see you go.
    1
  1327. C’mon. There are other ways. War is the easiest solution definitely not the best. It’s the laziest and stupidest solution.
    1
  1328.  @RedHanded1969  Maybe somewhere where money isn't everything. I can't speak for the UK but in the United States, that definitely is the case.
    1
  1329. yeah accepting immigrants is not the reason for all the problems you list.
    1
  1330. I am so sorry.
    1
  1331. it is. And anything we can do to help, we should.
    1
  1332. You know, you don’t have to go that far back: Napoleon for example. At least he also was on the battlefield. Still find wars absolutely senseless but at least he didn’t sit on his posterior and let the other do the dirty work.
    1
  1333.  @carlos.deutschland6529  The tune is great. I’ve added it to my runners playlist. So, thank YOU.
    1
  1334.  @s.jepsen4061  schön gesagt. Ich hoffe das übrigens auch.
    1
  1335.  @DiannePearce-om1jk  oh i don’t believe that either. Someone noticed and made a documentary. That’s a good thing. I’m very glad we know about the work she’s doing.
    1
  1336.  @DiannePearce-om1jk  I think there are a lot of people like her. We just haven’t heard about them yet because it’s not their goal to be famous. They just do their thing.
    1
  1337. I’ve done a bit of research: savethechildren.org is present in China and by all accounts, does good work. I can’t say if this organization benefits from donations. But they do do good work across the board.
    1
  1338. I don’t know tbh what happens to them after a certain age I’ll do some research to find out and get back to you
    1
  1339.  @LamNguyen-o5y5o  they have a website. http://www.sunvillage.com.cn/en/
    1
  1340.  @ronniewee7335  if this were 30 years old it’d be on our History channel. This documentary is from 2016.
    1
  1341.  @lisiusabok4534  it really is
    1
  1342.  @sylvielaw8494  yes. Approximately 60 seconds of disturbing imagery (dead and/or mutilated bodies) in a 52 minute documentary has been blurred. It’s a requirement YT has for unrestricted viewing.
    1
  1343.  @sylvielaw8494  what do you mean by that? It is available worldwide therefore unrestricted
    1
  1344.  @Locum-ms6gd  yes it is
    1
  1345. Google. The organization has a website. We have not checked it if legitimate but there is one
    1
  1346.  @theaprilshhowers18  There is a website you can visit
    1
  1347.  @soul8539  pretty much. And that applies to the world over
    1
  1348. Also, die Chinesische Polizei reiste in die Zukunft um bei dieser Doku dabei zu sein. Das ist doch toll. Und ja die Doku ist von 2014.
    1
  1349. They should but it’s probably not possible going into China. I don’t know. It’s a guess.
    1
  1350. nicely said and I agree
    1
  1351. someone knows their competitive eaters 😀
    1
  1352. Thanks
    1
  1353. Thank you for reminding me and giving me my recommendation for Saturday
    1
  1354.  @deeperunderstanding7495  I’m not the filmmaker here. We licensed the documentary. And yes it can take several years to make some documentaries. I’ve worked on quite a few. Certainly not all. Often you shoot, edit and it’s ready to air within 3 months. It depends on the project and the financing.
    1
  1355. @ you’re right. Can’t be both. Thanks.
    1
  1356. 😬
    1
  1357. Exactly. Or at least know where it comes from. This is the most important thing. Thanks for watching 😀
    1
  1358. Reality is not always fun.
    1
  1359.  @ssaiyan4m  yes that’s taking it a bit too imo too.
    1
  1360.  @ssaiyan4m  I didn’t say that it’s her fault.
    1
  1361. it’s called legacy and it matters.
    1
  1362. @ okay now that is super weird. It totally should work and I have no idea why it doesn’t.
    1
  1363.  @valeriehenry5910  really? That’s weird. May I ask what country you live in?

  1364.  @valeriehenry5910  you sure you have the correct link because it should be available worldwide https://youtu.be/NpLy8NBasHE?si=-mTy9shvBwBalFrj

  1365. that is an excellent description. Smelly roaring giant looming - spot on.

  1366. Thanks 😀

  1367.  @slavicandroid1999  i agree
    1
  1368.  @PleaseRelaxxx  you’re gonna have to be a bit more specific for anyone to understand what it is you mean
    1
  1369. was für ungläubige bitte? Und was hat das mit irgend etwas zu tun?

  1370.  @Mickimoss  The choice of soundtrack music is up to the director and/or what is available in terms of copyright. As we didn’t produce this but only licensed it, I cannot say why this particular music was chosen.
    1
  1371.  @adamguevara9616  instead of having to rely on the maybe charity of billionaires, how about people actually earn a living wage?
    1
  1372. Interesting and thank à for sharing such an extensive comment.
    1
  1373. We will check this out - thanks.

  1374.  @Atilla-m9i  hopefully

  1375. No. Unlisted until today.

  1376. you’ve got a point. I’d call it all-human-knowledge-ever-and-dumping-it onto-a massive-hard-drive knowledge and pretending its thinking for itself
    1
  1377. forget about the US, Japan has been looking for ways of dealing with an aging population for decades. There’s a disturbing Japanese dystopian movie out called Plan 75 on exactly that topic
    1
  1378. @pamelalapierte6678 I’m on it. I’ll let everybody know in a community post how it goes.
    1
  1379. oh for sure. And good point. If the governments would protect their workers then the knock on effect would be fair wages etc etc. Unfortunately it goes the other way: no regulations, exploitation to the max, nobody has any scruples it seems.
    1
  1380. Shein is probably the worst in a long list of culprits. The way you tell the difference is to do some research.
    1
  1381. i’m cool being human. What i’m less cool with is some humans who don’t care about anything except themselves. No society can survive using that MO.
    1
  1382. Thank you! And an inspiration to plug it more which i will do.
    1
  1383. 3rd paragraph: not true. Black parents teach their kids about this all - not to resist arrest, not to be disrespectful etc etc to avoid getting killed. It’s part of their upbringing. Ask any parent.

  1384.  @mr.ormrs.greene9737  okay. Dr. Fauci devoted his entire life to science, research and to helping and informing people. Enough with the fraud. Seriously. It's just stupid.
    1
  1385. hope you can too 😀
    1
  1386.  @deborahkimball-billups6405  You’d have to get in touch with SALTON SEA FILMS and/or EFEKTURA Productions. They may be able to help.
    1
  1387. Absolutely. It is so simple yet too many make s#$@loads of money so nothing happens. Q: What's the difference between bribery and lobbying? A: none.
    1
  1388. The documentary is from 2014
    1
  1389. Hi, the documentary has no audio between 00:42:38 and 00:44:30, as it is written in the description. But the audio is working perfectly in the rest of the video.
    1
  1390. Thanks 😀
    1
  1391. If you have something important to say, you need to able to communicate that clearly so that people understand. This is not that.
    1
  1392. exactly right
    1
  1393. it does but i do believe it’s hard work. I wouldn’t do it. You have to be nice all the time.
    1
  1394.  @MarionKennedy-jh8qr  i know!
    1
  1395. I’d take that with a grain of salt There’s no such thing as “easy money”

  1396. to each his or her own but I’m with you on this - never would I give up my freedom for someone else’s money. I prefer earning my own.

  1398.  @michaelsteele4587  We license all the videos we don’t produce ourselves. Just like Netflix does or Prime. Only difference: we don’t charge a sub fee.

  1400.  @oldsquirrel1083  Documentaries aim to shed light on complex issues rather than preach. We acknowledge that addiction has multiple causes, and while personal responsibility is vital, it's also important to recognize the role of those who enable the problem, including some healthcare professionals.
    1
  1401.  @seandeib619  I believe it’s good that is mentioned because you really wouldn’t know about it unless you are the farmer. But imo it doesn’t outweigh the cruelty to animals that are supplying the meat market. That needs to improve. A lot. And as far as harvesting wheat etc: there are farmers working together with conservationists who fly drones over the areas up next for harvesting. They rescue the hidden animals,and make sure the moms find them again.
    1
  1402. yep I agree.
    1
  1403.  @morri5923  welcome new subscriber from South Wales and yeah, always look forward. That’s the way to go.
    1
  1404. education and inclusion from a young age. Giving kids a chance to discover their talents and being able to pursue them. Spend more on the kids then they wouldn’t have to spend so much fighting against drug trafficking
    1
  1405. it really is. I find it hard to understand why you’d even start taking that stuff. Because it’s just the fastest way to rock bottom. I can wrap my head around many things, understand circumstances and stuff, but using drugs? Nope. That I just don’t get.
    1
  1406. It’s great you don’t have a drug or addiction problem. But there are people out there that have fallen by the wayside - it’s up to us to help them. Wouldn’t you want help if and when you needed it? That’s how society works.
    1
  1407. one day at a time. Thank you for sharing. Stay well!
    1
  1408.  @Josephvialpando-bx8lm  Wow. I am so happy for you guys out there. I really am.
    1
  1409.  @JesseRobson-dk5cy  awesome and i hope it helps your son. Lots of good people here with tips and recos.
    1
  1410.  @TrishEden-c1f  be sure to check out the thread here. You’ll find some answers I think.
    1
  1411.  @TrishEden-c1f  I can’t help you with specifics but i’m sure someone here can help. Good luck!
    1
  1412.  @rileyhunter1701  AWESOME! In spirit with you!

  1413. thank you 🙏

  1415. Russia is not heaven.

  1416. surely there must be help somewhere no? Keep going and do not give up. Do not give up.

  1417.  @FadingVitals  hear hear

  1418.  @seadrifter8975  yes very sad

  1419. It’s so hard. And i share your sentiment.
    1
  1420.  @katieedwards5926  respect ✊🏻
    1
  1421. “guns don’t kill people” is the same argument addicts use

  1422. Thanks Jason. And congratulations because its really hard and really worth it. You can be proud. Rooting for you.
    1
  1423. They are amazing indeed 😀
    1
  1424. @ I agree.
    1
  1425.  @Tigercats1976  gotcha 👍🏻
    1
  1426. you are very welcome. Thanks for leaving a lovely comment.
    1
  1427.  @curtanderson4145  yikes what a spell of bad luck! Get well, heal, and be safe!
    1
  1428. and thank you for stopping by!
    1
  1429.  @lesliemafla8059  i hope you eventually got help and are better now. Asking for help is the lost important thing. But often, in the past, mothers didn’t even know they should. I hope that’s changing.
    1
  1430.  @barbarabreunis7788 thank you for sharing that! It’s so important. Take care of yourself.
    1
  1431. thank you for sharing your experience. It’s so important.
    1
  1432.  @SuperMikki77  Thank you for sharing but i’d like to say this: I never have passing thoughts of driving into trees. So, if you do and it happens often, please get help or ask a professional about it. You take care of yourself
    1
  1433. thanks for the very compassionate comment and all the best to you
    1
  1434. Indeed. That’s a very good point you’re making.
    1
  1435. yeah that’s a question I always ask myself too
    1
  1436.  @zagorskaewelina  agree
    1
  1437. I cannot imagine. I do hope you’re doing okay now. All the best
    1
  1438.  @jessicapinkley1127  I know 😔 gross miscarriage of justice
    1
  1439. Thanks for leaving such a great comment. It is HUGELY appreciated.
    1
  1440. That’s definitely the case what you say. I am not sure even that would have helped a serious case of post partum psychosis - but it definitely would have helped and someone would have recognized the need to seek professional help. It is a tragedy for sure. Thanks for your lovely and generous comment.
    1
  1441. i agree.
    1
  1442. i’m happy you’re here to comment. That means you got helped. Respect and all the very very best to you
    1
  1443. that’s a tough one because one must assume adults know what they’re doing. I think one can only provide information for mothers where they can get help, that if they feel overwhelmed to get help, etc
    1
  1444.  @WendyCoy-f2v  thank you for sharing this and I am truly so happy for you. All the best always
    1
  1445.  @robinsullivan4222  hear hear
    1
  1446.  @kariberrow3921  very thoughtful and hopefully healing comment, at least to some extent. Thank you.
    1
  1447. This documentary is from 2020 🤔
    1
  1448. They are in the minority for sure but they shout the loudest and somehow still managed to get this person elected. I mean, seriously, that just cannot be.
    1
  1449.  @JulianHotaling  was?
    1
  1450. Yep. I grew up in the US and went to school there obviously. Although it's gotten somewhat better - but the exceptionalism is still rather flabbergasting. I never understood it as my parents are from Europe so for me it was always about 'we're part of this world' Languages for example: In every other country I've ever lived in (mostly European countries) everybody speaks at least two languages. Everybody. Across society. Not only the very wealthy who obviously know to teach their kids that languages matter. Yeah, it's crazy and just annoying. I can't deal with people who still think like that.
    1
  1451. ich glaub da is was schief gelaufen
    1
  1452.  @StarrTile  Check out the EU countries.
    1
  1453. @StarrTile be nice
    1
  1454. Thank you for your comment. It’s good. And no, I can’t imagine enduring what way too many have endured.
    1
  1455. documentaries don’t project. They report.
    1
  1456. um, okay.
    1
  1457. yeah, I once had the opportunity to live there for a while. I declined.
    1
  1458.  @patd310  😥 There are people who care. You’ve got to find them.
    1
  1459.  @nancy234ful  all the best to you. Thank you for sharing. Have you watched the documentary Venice Beach: Homeless in Paradise? https://youtu.be/Hw6ScqdFswg?si=cNmR52_akY4rjRsH I think you’d like this one. It’s different.
    1
  1460.  @professormph  For that we need a system that allows for opportunities and helps remove barriers rather than cementing them in.
    1
  1461. Interesting. Was the man obese when he began?
    1
  1462. @24juan68 Good luck! And don’t forget to consult with a doctor. That’s important
    1
  1463. good luck! and reach out if, keep us posted! I hope you have professional ie medical support. It’s important
    1
  1464. Just eat less full stop. Cut the processed foods.
    1
  1465. It’s the filmmakers prerogative to title the doc as they see fit. If you don’t like it, don’t want to watch it - that’s cool. Just like you have the freedom to your opinion, so do the makers
    1
  1466. true true. See how simple that is but really really hard to escape the advertising because they sell the vision first and foremost and when you buy the product you accept the vision. Actually, advertising is kinda evil. That's coming from somehow who has worked in advertising. This is why at the end of the day, the best thing we can do for ourselves: be informed. Know the background stories. Makes us less susceptible.
    1
  1467. Wow. Respect. I couldn’t do it.
    1
  1468. Great comment and thanks for sharing your journey. Good job 👍🏻 Really.
    1
  1469. So glad!
    1
  1470. You're welcome
    1
  1471. Please go see a medical professional. I sincerely urge you to do that.
    1
  1472.  @commandercrypto  overeating is an addiction like other addictions too. One has to be aware for the rest of one’s life. Sorry to hear that.
    1
  1473. what an awesome comment - thank you. My mom played on a Steinway. She wasn’t happy playing on anything else
    1
  1474.  @goaski474  Excellent suggestion. I will pass on the idea to acquisitions and let’s see what’s out there.
    1
  1475.  @gerizwinger7748  thank you!
    1
  1476.  @philippe-lebel  no luck with shazam yet but i’ll figure it out. And get back to you.
    1
  1477.  @jeffcharles5858  absolutely lovely review. Thank you! I will make sure the makers get this.
    1
  1478.  @scapaflow2535  I shazamed it but no luck so far. I’ll keep trying and answer here when i find the title.
    1
  1479. My mom had a Steinway. She found it hard to play on anything else after that
    1
  1480. stick it out. It’s worth it
    1
  1481. This is one of my favorite docs so I’m always happy when someone likes it too
    1
  1482.  @Andy-gh9wy  me too
    1
  1483. mine too. I love love love all his recordings
    1
  1484. Glad you loved it. As did I. We had a Steinway concert grand in the family too. My grandfather bought it in auction for his daughter. My mom played beautifully. Seeing each craftsman doing their thing: like you eloquently said - what an integration of talent and traditions
    1
  1485. Sonata in E-Flat Major and you are correct :)
    1
  1486. Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire. Et merci de faire du monde un endroit plus musical
    1
  1487.  @wendyplymale8921  My mother had a Steinway. I never saw it unfortunately but i am tracing its provenience.
    1
  1488.  @thomasbroker69  We pay for all documentaries on our channel. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here.
    1
  1489.  @misho2184  Interesting story and a first. At least on this thread. Thanks :)
    1
  1490. Glad you liked it. Check out our other documentaries as well 😀
    1
  1491.  @torbenhellborn3175  we are very happy to have this documentary in our library for sure. It’s a gem.
    1
  1492.  @留在时光里的人  I think it’s important to differentiate between the government and the people. The Chinese Government is no different in pursuing its own interests as the USA or Russia. And nothing they do in Africa is because they’re just being ‘nice’.
    1
  1493. Thank you too!
    1
  1494. as always that’s what we do and with pleasure
    1
  1495. yep
    1
  1496. if you can that’s a safe bet for sure
    1
  1497. maybe they needed co-signers
    1
  1498.  @Bob-yw7pc  It IS very distressing seeing and knowing how animals are treated so we get our bargain meats. And completely unnecessary. You don’t have to be vegan. But you do need to have a conscience. You can buy products that are sustainable ie are happy creatures while they’re alive. Who in their right mind wants to eat meat of an animal that has lived a miserable life? Seriously people it’s just disgusting.
    1
  1499. I read Kitchen Confidential
    1
  1500. and that is the root of many the many problems we have. The Rise of the right can only happen to very unhappy people. The big wage divide is a huge problem.
    1
  1501. I don‘t think it‘s simple as ”they dont need to work there if they don‘t want the job“. And I would say that fair is working for a job that won‘t kill you and pay a wage that one can live a decent life. And even if the situation would be worde if no company was there, as you said, the fact is: they are there. So I think it‘s fair to push for better conditions, like this documentary does on exposing the system.
    1
  1502. But we could at least respect people's lives and pay a fair salary, no? 🤔
    1
  1503. Yep. And we have to do what WE can our end like trying not to buy the cheapest clothes and making our views known to the corporations. It IS possible.
    1
  1504.  @SanaFatima-cn1hg  I know and it’s extremely frustrating but it doesn’t mean we can stop trying.
    1
  1505. Not sure is that simple. People shouldn‘t have to work in a building that can collapse anytime. And companies should be responsible for the condition workers are working, no? 🤔
    1
  1506. I totally agree that we are a big part of this. Knowing what we consume is key to any change we want to see in this world. And this doc shows that this is specially true with clothing industry. There is no way a 2 euro t-shirt will be produced in a fair way. And this is also the case for other industries. A very cheap meat, for example (the other video we made). It’s always cheap for a reason, and usually it’s not a good reason. We need to be aware and know what we are consuming. Thanks for the input 😀
    1
  1507. It‘s not about changing the system to socialism or communism, but fixing a real problem. People shouldn‘t risk their lives while working and should be paid a fair salary. No? 🤔
    1
  1508. it’s true
    1
  1509. Hear hear.
    1
  1510. yes
    1
  1511.  @Judy-g1y3g  Sadly, there are always comparisons to be made.
    1
  1512. a reasonable question actually.
    1
  1513. The Queen never apologized. That bothers me.
    1
  1514.  @rickeyhill-tq1ty  what’s that supposed to mean?
    1
  1515. sure is
    1
  1516.  @Harehona5014  yes no it’s not easy for sure
    1
  1517. Great comment thank you and I agree.
    1
  1518. Okay Nobody said or is saying its an Australia Only problem. But this documentary addresses the Australian problem okay? Its talking about the Australian problem because everyone knows what Settlers did to Native Americans and other indigenous people around the world
    1
  1519. lovely comment - thank you. BTW: I also do not understand this pervasive ignorance.
    1
  1520. How about this: visit Australia. Visit a community of Aborigines and tell them what you think and feel or just that you’re with them or something nice. There are many Australians who think like you. And it’s a beautiful place with lots to see. Just sayin’.
    1
  1521. indeed
    1
  1522. agree

  1524. good message but please don’t spam us. We’re the good guys here

  1525. I have to say the racism is shocking. But there is an effort being made. I can recommend some excellent series dealing with that. Have you seen Mystery Road? Check it out. It’s great.
    1
  1526.  @Donald-x5e  is racism still a thing? While I’m sure progress has been made, there is probably lots to do. This is from someone who doesn’t live in Australia. But as a US citizen, I’m guessing it’s similar to here.
    1
  1527. I know. I’ll never understand it.
    1
  1528. The people who were in Australia before the British came. I’d say in a nutshell: they live with nature as opposed to trying to conquer it. Read up on indigenous people. It’s definitely a bildungslücke
    1
  1529.  @theTeflonDon1  While there isn't a comprehensive database specifically tracking the demographics of internet trolls, various studies and surveys have provided some insights. Research suggests that trolls tend to be predominantly male, with a significant portion being younger adults, particularly in the 18-29 age range. In terms of race, many studies indicate that trolls are often predominantly white, but this can vary depending on the platform and the specific community. It's important to note that trolling behavior can be influenced by various factors, including anonymity, online culture, and individual personality traits.

  1530.  @clintonwashabaugh1387  In Europe it’s the metric system and as this is a in Europe produced documentary, it’s in euros and kilometers. Very easy to convert using a conversion app or you can use this: 1 mile =1.609 kilometers
    1
  1531. yes. It’s a Dutch reporter
    1
  1532. Glad you think so! And thanks for stopping by to let us know.
    1
  1533. I also found this series super interesting and happy you liked it.
    1
  1534. If you have YT Premium you can download the series. Other than that, it’s on our platform to watch and rewatch whenever you want.

  1535. it’s freedom of choice choice being the operative word here

  1541. I don't know for sure but I can't imagine they pay illegal workers minimum wage. In fact, seeing myself answer makes me quite certain: no, they do not.
    1
  1542. I agree. I’m still of the opinion if you try too hard then it won’t work. It should still be fun. Once it turns into a business, it’s for s&&t. Seriously. Because then all authenticity gets lost. Then you’re nothing more than a shill for the labels you’re hawking.
    1
  1543. um hmm 🤔
    1
  1544. Violence is incompatible with any society. The Various events in the name of Christianity were pretty violent throughout history. Crusades for example.
    1
  1545. I’d say ignorance has a corrosive effect on society.
    1
  1546. they’re not woke. They’re stuck up pompous jerks.

  1547. me either

  1548. Eww. What a gross answer.
    1
  1549. Thank you for stopping by! Yes, gated communities are much rarer in these parts (Central Europe) I'm in Vienna and I don't know of any gated communities here. There are senior citizens home for the richer. Other than that, nope. I find ghettos like this rather awful tbh. Especially for the rich: how can one have compassion and empathy if you aren't aware of how normal and poorer people live?
    1
  1550. agree
    1
  1551. yep.
    1
  1552. exactly. Whenever I see one of them, it’s definitely an omg get me outta here moment.
    1
  1553. seriously. Why would you want to live there when you can live anywhere?
    1
  1554. to get any sort of rich you kinda have to be a horrible person
    1
  1555. Thanks for the tip!
    1
  1556. it’s pretty common in the US especially West Coast Southern California

  1557. yeah too bad he won't be at the WC.
    1
  1558.  @williamkreth  excellent!
    1
  1559. oh yeah for sure. I've been guilty of buying my apple vinegar in a plastic bottle instead of the glass bottle because the glass bottle is heavier. I won't do it again!
