Across Africa, lobbyists, philanthropists and businessmen are working to open up the continent to GMO food. They argue that GMOs can provide a miracle solution to two of Africa’s biggest problems: famine and malaria. The main promoters is Bill Gates, now the head of the most powerful philanthropic foundation in history. This film reveals how the Gates Foundation became the main funder of genetic experiments underway on the continent and investigates the possible repercussions of their actions. The Gates foundation is discreetly conducting research on cassava genes and on the genetic modification of mosquitoes to fight malaria. These kind of tests are banned in Europe because of their potential risks to health and the environment. So the trials are carried out in Africa instead. By financing the development of GMOs in Africa, a neoliberal model of development and corporate domination is being imposed on Africa, opening it up to the global agribusiness. This is the new world of philanthrocapitalism, where humanitarian aid has a stubborn aftertaste of business, famine programs are often a pretext to introduce GMOs and public investments

The AI Memory Boom | Why DRAM Prices Are Surging For years, DRAM was one of the quieter corners of the semiconductor industry — a highly commoditized market where capacity expanded steadily and prices generally trended lower. Artificial intelligence has changed that equation. In this episode, SemiAnalysis analyst Ray Wang explains why AI systems consume enormous amounts of memory and how surging demand is reshaping the global DRAM market. As memory costs rise, manufacturers and consumer-facing companies are being forced to rethink production, pricing and supply. The conversation explores how major producers are responding to the boom, when the market could finally rebalance, and whether Chinese memory manufacturers can close the gap with dominant Korean players such as Samsung and SK Hynix. What looks like a shortage of computer memory may actually reveal something much bigger: AI is beginning to reshape the economics of the entire semiconductor supply chain.

A giant telescope just did something engineers thought was nearly impossible. It stared straight at one of the brightest stars in the whole night sky, and it did not look away. You are about to see how the James Webb Space Telescope aimed its mirrors at Alpha Centauri, the star system closest to our own sun, and searched for a hidden world buried inside a wall of blinding light. Alpha Centauri shines so bright it can drown out a faint planet, the same way a lighthouse beam hides a firefly. Scientists built a special mask to block that glare, piece by piece. Then something strange showed up in the data: a possible giant planet, warm and made of gas, sitting close to the star. That detection remains unconfirmed. Later images could not find it again, and researchers are still chasing the mystery. We will travel from the first blinding picture to the planet that keeps disappearing, then push outward to what this could mean for every sun like our own. Before we start, open Spotify.

The Shroud of Turin remains one of the most studied and controversial artifacts in human history. For over six centuries, this ancient linen cloth bearing the faint image of a crucified man has sparked fierce debate among scientists, theologians, historians, and skeptics. Could it truly be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, or an elaborate medieval forgery that fooled the world for generations? In this video, we dig into that question with fresh eyes. We examine the newest scientific research surrounding the Shroud, including radiocarbon dating controversies, advanced image analysis, forensic pathology studies, and textile examination techniques unavailable to earlier investigators. We break down how modern technology is being used to re-evaluate evidence once considered settled, and why the real conclusions are far more complicated than most headlines suggest. This isn't about picking a side, it's about the facts. Whether you're a longtime believer, a curious skeptic, or simply fascinated by unsolved historical mysteries, this documentary-style investigation offers a balanced, evidence-based look at one of the most debated objects in the world.

How an aging tanker caused one of Spain’s worst environmental disasters — and what it revealed about maritime regulations. (Aired January 2004) In November 2002, the oil tanker “Prestige” sank off the coast of Galicia in northwestern Spain after encountering a winter storm, causing one of the worst oil spills in the country’s history. The tanker had a murky and complicated backstory — making it difficult to track culpability. At 26 years old, the rusting, single-hulled tanker was well past the age of retirement. But that didn’t deter the owners from loading the aging ship with crude oil number 4, one of the most toxic fuel oils known. After the spill, Spain imposed a six-month ban on fishing in the region, leading to great economic hardship. “Spain: The Lawless Sea” investigated what went wrong with the tanker and uncovered a largely unregulated maritime system that offered few safeguards against environmental disasters. “This is an act of terror, a criminal act,” said Rafael Mouzo, a fisherman and then-mayor of the coastal town of Concurbion. “We need an international tribunal to judge

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify 🎧 On June 27, 2026, the world's biggest machine went silent. Scientists inside the Large Hadron Collider watched the last collision light up on their screens, then shut the whole machine down. It will not turn back on until 2030. You would expect a clean goodbye. Instead, scientists walked away from a puzzle they still cannot solve. Before the shutdown, particles called B mesons kept decaying the wrong way. By a small margin, just enough to matter. Scientists checked the numbers again, hoping to find an error. They found nothing wrong. The odds of this being random chance dropped below 1 in 16,000. Four years of silence now sit between scientists and the answer. Tonight, we walk through what that result means, why it worries some of the smartest people on Earth, and what happens when the machine wakes up again in 2030. We travel inside the tunnel where it happened. We meet the particles breaking the rules. We find out why an entire field of science is holding its breath. This channel

Who Built American Power? | Wealth, Inequality and the Origins of the 1% America was founded in the name of liberty and independence. But from the very beginning, who actually held the economic and political power? This Moconomy documentary traces the roots of wealth and inequality in the United States, from the American Revolution and the merchant elites of colonial Boston to Shays’ Rebellion, debt, banking and the long struggle between those who control resources and those demanding a greater share of economic power. Historians and political thinkers examine how revolutionary ideas about freedom existed alongside slavery, concentrated land ownership and economic privilege — and how movements challenging inequality have repeatedly emerged throughout American history. From the original Boston Tea Party and early battles over debt to Occupy Wall Street and modern campaign finance, the documentary asks whether today’s divide between the 1% and the rest of society is really new — or part of a much older American story.

Ivan IV became Russia's first tsar and one of the most feared rulers in European history. Born in Moscow in 1530, Ivan survived a traumatic childhood before transforming Russia through reform, conquest and absolute rule. His capture of Kazan on October 2, 1552 helped lay the foundations of the Russian Empire, but after the death of his wife Anastasia in 1560, suspicion and violence increasingly consumed his reign. From 1565 to 1572, his feared Oprichniki unleashed a campaign of confiscation and terror, culminating in the devastation of Novgorod in 1570. Historians and a criminal profiler examine the mind and legacy of Ivan the Terrible, from his struggle for Baltic access and the killing of his own son to the propaganda that shaped his reputation. The documentary also reveals why Stalin later embraced Ivan as a model of centralized power, raising a provocative question: was Ivan IV a mad tyrant, or a ruthless modernizer whose ambitions were destroyed by his own brutality? -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering

Marine pilots must make crucial decisions under extreme conditions. Transferring from a cargo ship to a small pilot boat in hurricane-force gusts can be fatal. For marine pilots, this is the most dangerous moment in their daily working lives: climbing down a rope ladder from a cargo ship in gale-force gusts, and transferring to a small pilot boat. In mid-January, a pilot fell into the sea off Borkum and was taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia. Just a few days earlier, a British colleague died during a similar maneuver. Harbor pilot Gerhard Janssen and sea pilot Dominik Thieben are getting ready for their assignment. In force 8 winds, they set off in the pilot boat to the cargo ship "Silver Soul". They must guide it safely out of the harbor, along the Ems River in northern Germany, and out into the North Sea. They face oncoming traffic, poor visibility and a narrow channel that leaves little room to maneuver. Off the island of Borkum, a pilot boat will pick them up and take them back to shore.

How do we break free from a spiral of hate? This documentary follows people in Bosnia, Mexico, and Canada who have found ways to deal with hate—and to overcome it. As the host of a children’s show, Tobi Krell is surrounded by closeness and trust. At the same time, he observes a growing coarsening of society worldwide: People treat one another with aggression, violence, and hostile stereotypes. He sets out to look for approaches to breaking the cycle of hate. In Sarajevo, he meets Adnan, a war veteran. Three decades after the end of the Bosnian War, tensions remain palpable. Adnan grapples with the question of how to dispel stereotypes—and what it takes to counter them in everyday life. In Canada, Tobi Krell meets Lauren and her mother. As a teenager, Lauren joined a far-right group. The two explain how they were able to stay in touch despite this experience—and what role personal bonds play in leaving such groups. In Monterrey, in northeastern Mexico, Anni shares her experiences with domestic violence. She shows how she has learned to reflect on

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify 🎧 Picture a circle of light so perfect it looks painted onto the sky. It is hanging in deep space right now, completely real.

In 2024, several Latin Americans were caught committing sabotage on behalf of Russia. A DW investigation reveals how they came to work for Moscow's secret services and who recruited them. It started with an arson attack at a Polish construction-supply business and continued with arrests in Czechia and Romania for similar offenses. Just weeks later, Lithuanian investigators uncovered a plot to set fire to military equipment. All of the suspects were from Spanish-speaking countries, but investigators traced the actions back to Russia's secret services - and a Cuban dance teacher in Russia, Oemis Romagoza Durruthy.

The Country That Tried to Stop Modernity | Bhutan: Life in a Strange Kingdom | ENDEVR Documentary This film explores the dynasty’s rule while also taking a look at the youthful counterculture movement which has emerged since the country’s exposure to the internet. Hidden away in the Himalayan foothills, Bhutan is a country reputed for its exquisite natural beauty and the importance its people place on individual happiness. The Bhutanese’s acute environmental awareness has made it the only carbon-negative country in the world. To many, the small nation seems like a model for the rest of the world. But behind this idyllic façade, there lies a more sinister reality. Buddhism is the only religion the Wangchuck dynasty, which has ruled the country for the last century, tolerates. This ultra-conservative regime is closely intertwined with the Buddhist faith. The flocks of millionaires and Hollywood stars who arrive in Bhutan to work on their karma can only be accommodated thanks to the toil of terribly paid workers.

The global coalition against ISIS was never just about fighting terrorism. Hidden behind that rhetoric lie proxy wars and regional power-struggles. ISIS successfully exploited Sunni discontent to take control of large swathes of Iraq. It was only after the attacks in Europe that a new Iraqi army, meant to rally together Sunnis and Shiites and embody national unity, was created. But in reality, the army is regarded as an offshoot of the Shiite regime. Many believe that Sunnis and Shiites can no longer peacefully co-exist and the Kurds hope to profit from these fractures to form their own homeland. In Syria, when the uprising first started, Assad was able to divide the opposition and secure his own dictatorship by freeing the most radical Islamic prisoners. He has used ISIS to weaken his enemies and present himself as a bastion against terrorism. Invoking religious solidarity, he has the support of Shiite Iran and Hezbollah. Today, 5,000 Hezbollah fighters are present in Syria. The war against ISIS effectively enables them and Iran to control a large part of the country. But for

On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed one of the most devastating and consequential days in modern history. This documentary reconstructs the events of 9/11 minute by minute, drawing on the firsthand accounts of firefighters, air-traffic controllers, journalists, intelligence officials, government personnel, and witnesses who experienced the attacks as they unfolded. From the quiet morning before the attacks to the hijacking of four aircraft, the destruction of the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the heroic resistance aboard Flight 93, and the desperate rescue efforts that followed, this film explores how confusion gradually gave way to the realization that the United States was under a coordinated terrorist attack. It also examines the critical questions that emerged afterward: intelligence failures, missed warnings, the role of the media, the rise of the War on Terror, and how the events of that day reshaped American foreign policy and the wider world. Most importantly, the documentary remembers the ordinary people who became extraordinary in a moment of unimaginable crisis—passengers, firefighters, police officers, rescue workers, journalists, and civilians who helped others despite the danger around them.

On September 11th, 2001, four hijacked airplanes struck the heart of America. At 8:46 am, New York time, the first airplane crashed into the World Trade Centre -- an attack whose global consequences still reverberate to this day. As early as 1999, Osama bin Laden devised a plan to use civilian aircraft as weapons. The targets were chosen for their symbolic significance to the USA: The World Trade Centre was an economic hub, the Pentagon was the military nerve center, and the White House was the center of political power. But how could the attack manage to succeed? Months before the attacks, the CIA had crucial leads - including the names of known terrorists. Yet they failed to put the puzzle together. This documentary retraces the attacks of September 11th, 2001 in precise chronological order - in the air, at Ground Zero, in newsrooms and in the centers of power in the USA. Archival footage, audio recordings and findings from the 9/11 Commission Report make it possible to reconstruct the events, almost in real time. "9/11 - The Day that

During the early hours of June 6, 1944, thousands of German soldiers deployed in Normandy began to realize that the Allied invasion they had been awaiting for months had finally begun. Transport planes, bombers, and gliders crossed the sky as American and British paratroopers descended behind defensive positions. Shortly after, a gigantic fleet appeared off the coast and opened fire on the German fortifications. For many defenders isolated in bunkers and coastal positions, the first hours were marked by the deafening noise of the bombardments, severed communications, and immense uncertainty regarding the actual scale of the attack. As American, British, and Canadian troops began landing on the beaches, the Germans attempted to contain them using machine guns, mortars, and artillery from their Atlantic Wall positions. In sectors like Omaha, German resistance inflicted severe losses on the

The vicious tyrant Francois ‘Papa Doc” Duvalier ruthlessly dominated Haiti using violence and Voodoo. Rising from a humble country doctor, he made himself into a figure so terrifying to his people that many believed he had links with the Voodoo deity Baron Samedi, guardian of the graveyard. So complete was his control that people feared even to think about resisting him. He claimed to have caused the death of President John F Kennedy, and even that he could speak to the dead. His private militia, the notorious Ton Ton Macoutes, became a byword for brutality, torturing and killing thousands of Haitians. To maintain his power he made school children watch public executions, and massacred the families of anyone he suspected of challenging his power. He looted his country, stealing millions from some of the poorest people on earth. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

The Five-Star Society: How Ratings Took Over Our Lives | ENDEVR Documentary After exiting a cab, a restaurant, a hotel, or a train, or following the delivery of a package or an exchange with a customer service representative, it’s always the same request: please provide a rating. Whether it's a 1 to 10 scale ask or the ubiquitous 1 to 5 - star review, it’s quick, machine-like, and painless for the person providing the rating. Behind these seemingly benign requests, lurks a biased labor monitoring system fueled directly by the customer, unbeknownst to us. Added to this is a multitude of invisible ratings which serve as raw material for algorithms used by secretive companies that claim to be able to predict the future. The film takes a critical look at the “democratization” of rating systems and the consequences of this practice in our personal lives and for our collective freedoms. This documentary first aired in 2022. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos, and animations.

The true story of the most famous outlaw couple in U.S. history Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow had been on a year-long crime spree, leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake, yet were little more than a local curiosity until photos of the couple were discovered at a hastily abandoned hideout in 1933. The image of a beret-clad Bonnie, cigar in mouth, pistol in hand, striking a defiantly provocative pose, would soon achieve near mythic status. Overnight, the country became transfixed by the scandalous images and press accounts of their improbable escapes and illicit romance. Bonnie and Clyde would join the ranks of celebrity gangsters like John Dillinger, ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd, and ‘Baby Face’ Nelson, ‘public enemies’ who emerged during the Great Depression to capture the country’s imagination. But their newfound notoriety would force the outlaw lovers to take even greater risks as the hunt to capture them kicked into overdrive. Told through interviews with cultural historians, the couple’s descendants and those of the officers who captured them, BONNIE & CLYDE tells the story of the infamous duo’s

Cold therapy, knee distraction or cartilage transplantation from the nose to the knee: what really helps with knee pain? New procedures are bringing fresh hope to people with osteoarthritis and joint degeneration. Knee pain, wear and tear, osteoarthritis: millions of people suffer from these conditions. Natural remedies and high-tech medicine can alleviate the symptoms and improve joint mobility. Cartilage loss in the knee was long considered irreversible. The cartilage acts as a shock absorber between the bones of the joint and cushions the impact of each step. Once it starts wearing away, the bones rub against one another. This can lead to osteoarthritis; often accompanied by pain and restricted movement. This is where an innovative approach from The Netherlands comes in: knee joint distraction. When the bones of the knee joint are pulled slightly apart, this creates a space that stimulates the body's natural cartilage-repair mechanisms. In Germany, orthopedic surgeon Kaywan Izadpanah from the University Medical Centre Freiburg is one of the first doctors to perform this procedure. Researchers at Basel University Hospital are trying something else. They remove a

Lars used to be a police officer. Together with his wife Sandy and their young son, he moved from Germany to a remote Scottish island in the Atlantic. Colonsay has only 120 inhabitants, a shop and a café - and not much else. Lars was keen to escape big city life and pitched the idea to his Scottish wife, Sandy. She agreed to relocate their family and move to Colonsay. The remote island is where she grew up; she and Lars even got married there a few years ago. Lars is a lively, sociable type.
