Greece is bankrupt. And its failure could also have severe repercussions for all of the euro zone countries. With Parliamentary elections scheduled for late April, we invite you to lay witness to history in the making. And as with the other episodes in this series, this documentary will take you on a journey that goes from deep in the countryside, all the way into the center of the capital. We'll test the temperature in the remote areas of the country and hear what the Greek citizens of the heartland have to say during this critical moment in their country's history. So how are people getting on in a country reeling from financial ruin? From there, we'll head to the capital, Athens, where we will ask the political leaders of Greece how the country found itself in such an untenable situation, with respect to its people but also with its European partners. On the eve of a crucial election, how can we trust a political class that has driven an entire nation into the abyss? Can people still believe in the

When we think of Cuba, our minds land on Havana or the country's folklore. There is, however, a deeply controversial and complex political history behind Cuba's current situation today, especially since Fidel's brother Raul took the reigns. As the country’s general elections are heating up, this film, which takes the form of a road movie, allows us to travel across the island. A journey made at a key moment, as the debate surrounding post-Castro Cuba is more prevalent than ever before; Raul Castro himself has declared, “The country must change to avoid sinking.” It has indeed been a year since Cubans started being able to work for their own bread. Another proof of the “revolution” prompted by Raul Castro, Fidel’s brother and heir to his throne, is enabling his fellow citizens to legally acquire and sell their homes or even their vehicles. What impact does that hold upon the daily lives of Cubans? From Santiago de Cuba, the nation’s second most important city and starting point to its “revolutionary pathway”, we’ll be meeting a hairdresser who has just began working

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

Set against the wild beauty of Ireland’s Beara Peninsula, this intimate documentary follows the De Ruiter family and their deep relationship with the honey bee after 25 years of life and beekeeping in Ireland. From pollen to pot, the film offers a poetic and immersive portrait of the apiary process, revealing how honey is shaped by landscape, season, family knowledge and the fragile rhythms of nature. Through the family’s daily stewardship, the documentary explores the cultural folklore of bees, the urgent environmental challenges facing pollinators today, and the powerful role conscious human care can play in protecting the natural world. Interwoven with original music and poetry, the film journeys alongside the honey bee and its keepers, uncovering a story of resilience, adaptation, ecology and interdependence. Both lyrical and grounded, this documentary is a moving celebration of Irish beekeeping, sustainable living, family tradition and the quiet intelligence of the honey bee. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Opening: The Honey Bee and the Irish Landscape ▷ 02:15 - The De Ruiter Family: Keepers of the Hive ▷ 05:36 - Life on the

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
