We Met America's Most Isolated Man: Northern Alaska

Heimo Korth is the last man standing in 19 million acres of Alaskan wilderness. His neighbors are polar bears and caribous. Say goodbye to civilization and see how they do it in the arctic circle on the last frontier in America. In 1980, Jimmy Carter established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Alaskan Interior, cutting off 19 million acres of prime boreal wilderness from the mitts of fur trappers, oil tycoons, and would-be lodge owners alike. Only six families of white settlers were grandfathered in and allowed to keep cabins in the refuge—of them, only one still stays there year-round living off the land. His name is Heimo Korth, and he is basically the Omega Man of America's Final Frontier. This documentary was produced by VICE Media and directed by John Martin & Thomas Morton. It was first released in 2012. --- Click the SUBSCRIBE button and make sure to set NOTIFICATIONS to stay updated with all new content!

9/11: From the Plane to the Television

No narration. No interviews. No hindsight. Just the footage, audio, and news coverage that captured 9/11 as it unfolded. Through real-time footage, emergency radio, news bulletins, and raw field recordings, we experience the growing confusion and rising tension as the world starts to realise that something is deeply wrong. This series is not a traditional documentary. It is an actuality-based, real-time reconstruction — an unfiltered archive, compiled entirely from authentic sources recorded on the day itself. No commentary. No retrospective analysis. Nothing added, and nothing taken away. The Archive Cut spans 20 episodes, tracing the entire day from the first takeoff to the final moments of collapse and chaos — moment by moment, as it was seen and heard. This project is intended as a historical and educational record, preserving the timeline and tone of the day with precision and respect. Whether you're revisiting the events or encountering them for the first time, The 9/11 Chronology presents an immersive and sobering experience — a window into the reality of 9/11 through the eyes and ears of those who lived it.

America's 'Most Dangerous Man: Exposing a State of Crime

Injustice and Murder: Inside Canada's Hidden Police Brutality Endemic

In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions. This documentary was produced by Lost Time Media & Big Cedar Films and directed by Marc Serpa Francoeur, Robinder Uppal. It was first released in 2020. --- Click the SUBSCRIBE button and make sure to set NOTIFICATIONS to stay updated with all new

We Own Your Face: Inside the Rise of Facial Recognition

Clearview AI is redefining our privacy. The New York-based tech company is working to identify and compile the faces of every human being on the planet. It claims that the database will serve as a force for good, helping to solve crimes and prevent espionage. But its clients include Middle Eastern dictatorships and its links to the far-right and the source of its funding have raised other concerns. The risks it poses are immense. Clearview AI says it's aiming to collect 100 billion images – that's 14 for every person on the planet. Most of these images are scraped from social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn without the owner’s knowledge or consent. Already it is the second most accurate face recognition platform in the world. The most accurate one is run by the Chinese Communist Party and used for for real time mass surveillance in order to monitor its population and suppress dissent. To the concern of many, Clearview’s technology has been licensed to the United Arab Emirates, where those who dare criticise the regime end up in

Chernobyl of the Pacific: Inside America's Nuclear Paradise

Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. detonated 23 nuclear weapons over Bikini Atoll, unleashing a firestorm that would poison four generations. Nuked resurrects the suppressed history of the Cold War’s first victims – the Bikinian people, torn from paradise and condemned to wander a radioactive diaspora. Through meticulously restored archival footage, the film amplifies the voices of those who watched their ancestral home become ground zero, juxtaposing their testimonies against the terrifying spectacle of mushroom clouds that once lit up the Pacific sky. As climate change now drowns their exile settlements beneath rising seas, the displaced fight a dual battle: against the ghosts of nuclear imperialism and the rising tides of an indifferent world. A searing indictment of colonial power and a rallying cry for justice, Nuked asks: When the land itself becomes a weapon, where does survival begin? This documentary was produced by Take Action Films and directed by Andrew Nisker.
