Resisting Lukashenko's Regime
Belarus - 2022
The major international migration crisis at Europe's borders is exacerbating political tensions. This investigation reveals the fierce police repression of the 300,000 Belarusians who demonstrated in Minsk against the dictator Alexander Lukashenko in 2020. Lukashenko's opponents found in Poland a land of exile. This is where we met them. Activists, demonstrators, but also policemen revolted against this repressive regime and told us about the fierce repression they were subjected to. Thanks to their testimony, but also to the numerous videos filmed on the spot, the authoritarian grip of Lukashenko's regime came to light as what it really was: a merciless attempt to end in bloodshed the democratic dreams of Belarusian youth.

Birds of a Feather
Australia - 2022
Identical twins Paula and Bridgette Powers, known collectively as 'Twinnies', run a large rescue and rehabilitation centre for seabirds injured on Australia's Sunshine Coast. Their mother estimates that the pair have cared for over 25,000 birds over the years, and despite never having been formally trained as vets, they have gained renown from those in the animal rescue industry. They met Steve Irwin before he died when he was called out to help them rescue a turtle: "Steve had a skill for being able to recognise special things that people might have," says his father Bob Irwin.

Clean Mountains
Nepal - 2021
Mount Everest’s sherpa community have been hit by the lack of tourism due to the pandemic. One family decide to take the opportunity to clear up some of the masses of rubbish left on the mountain by climbers. ‘Sometimes we think the gods are angry because tourists leave so much garbage, that’s why they sent the virus, to punish us’, says Jangmu, a local sherpa. Her brother Mingma was part of the first team to ever climb the K2 mountain in winter, making him famous in Nepal. Now, Jangmu, Mingma and two of their sisters plan to clean masses of rubbish on their way down from Everest with some clients. ‘Keeping the mountains clean brings more prosperity and well-being’, she says.
