Human evolution: How our ancestors learned to speak, write and rule

Michael 'Wolf' Pasakarnis often claimed that he walked in two worlds at once. An artist with a kind heart and adventurous spirit, he was struck and killed by lightning at 29 years old. He left stunning evidence that he knew where, when, and how it would happen. He came back with an important message for all of us. Now Wolf’s story is a brave and captivating documentary, Wolf’s Message, inspired by the book of the same name by acclaimed author and spiritual teacher, Suzanne Giesemann, which explores the profound true story of a young man's afterlife communication. Directed by filmmaker Jim Spruell, Wolf's Message follows the true story of Wolf's parents, Mike and Beth Pasakarnis. After his passing, they discovered a poem and drawings he left behind, along with other clues about how he would depart from this world. Through Giesemann, they began receiving undeniable and astonishing messages from beyond, offering irrefutable proof of his continued presence. Through intimate interviews, expert insights, and compelling real-life accounts, Wolf’s Message delves into the nature of consciousness, the continuity of love, and the

"Wanna Cry" was just the latest wake-up call: the cyber attack with the blackmail Trojan hit hundreds of thousands of computers in over 100 countries in May 2017. But how can only one malware program paralyze companies, hospitals and even intelligence services all over the world at the same time? The answer has a name: Microsoft. A film by Harald Schumann and Árpád Bondy Many state and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon operate with the software of the US corporation. It makes them vulnerable for hackers and spies, violates European public procurement law, blocks technical progress and costs Europe dearly. Harald Schumann and his Investigate Europe research team have spoken to insiders and managers throughout Europe about this. Martin Schallbruch, the former head of IT at the German Government, reports how the states are becoming increasingly dependent on Microsoft. A top Dutch lawyer describes how the EU Commission and governments are violating European procurement law. In France, the Ministry of Defence has bypassed parliament in concluding secret contracts with Microsoft, so Senator Joelie Garriaud-Maylam now wants to set up

For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists. Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic, on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their Tibetan neighbors, reject the colonization of their territory. Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media coverage than the unrest in neighbouring Tibet) the aim of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a heaven on earth suitable for mass tourism. Thanks to reliable contacts amongst the organisers of this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in Europe and Central Asia, and

In the harsh winter of 324, a dazzling cavalry officer from the Roman Imperial Guard stop his horse in front of a nearly naked man, then take from his shoulders his immense white cloak, made from two pieces of fabric, one lined with sheepskin, and separate the two parts with his sword to make the unfortunate wretch warm. His charitable gesture contains all the force of this emblematic character from the dawn of Western Christianity. In 2016, we shall be celebrating the 1700th anniversary of this exemplary Christian's birth, and it's a moment to take full stock of the legacy of this soldier, monk, exorcist, bishop and pilgrim. This film gives a voice to those who are in the best position to speak about this Saint, regarded as the founder of a certain unity in Gaul, and who would be worshiped by the kings of France from Clovis to Charlemagne. Churchmen and committed citizens will give their views on the meaning of "sharing", "mercy" and "charity". Today, political, religious, and philosophical discourse is still hungry for the concept of sharing.
