About On the Road: Russia (2012 Documentary about Russia from the series: "I Love Democracy")

From Vladivostok to Moscow, we take a journey across Russia from East to West to check the pulse of Russian democracy. A road movie that spans more than 9,000 kilometers full of interviews and encounters with representatives of Russian civil society, their "third sector" of society, who refuse the dictates of power and protest against massive corruption.This trip starts deep in the province, far from the capital in Russia's remote Eastern city of Vladivostok. We'll meet a young entrepreneur, Alexei, who can no longer stand being "strangled" by Moscow, as well as mothers who go on a hunger strike over a place in nursery for their children. Then the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway in the world, takes us into one of the very symbols of the gulag cities: Khabarovsk. In this city, activists are fighting to keep alive the memory of millions of victims of Soviet camps. In an amnesiac state, we meet Vitaly, a former 'Zek', political prisoner, and his family. We make a brief stop in Irkutsk near Lake Baikal, and we hear from environmental activists

On The Road - Obama's America (Documentary of 2012 from the series "I love Democracy")

Beyond the importance of any US election at the international level, On The Road must investigate the country of Uncle Sam in an era when America starts a slow decline. Then, does the oldest democracy still have a future? Do Americans still consider themselves as ‘champions of democracy’? To answer these questions, we propose a political and social road-movie in a country that is "mind blowing" in every way: either by its Hollywood like landscapes or by its colorful characters. The documentary will start by exploring the little-towns and villages of states such as Hawaii, Utah, Texas and Ohio which are often forgotten and rarely understood; it will be followed by geopolitical conversations with those who "pull the strings" in the corridors of Washington. And this election will surely be a spectacular one: Romney, the first Mormon candidate in US history will be opposed to Barack Obama, America's first Black President. If the incumbent president is an international superstar, he is still a controversial character in his own country. Four years later, what do US citizens think of their President
