- Torture in huge internment camps, disappearances, forced labour, "re-education" of children and adults, mass sterilizations, generalized surveillance and destruction of memorial sites, including cemeteries: China's policy in Xinjiang towards the Uighurs, a population of 11 million Turkic-speaking people with a Muslim majority, is akin to genocide. In this land of the "Celestial Mountains" in the west of the country, rich in resources and a strategic gateway to the new Silk Roads cherished by Xi Jinping, the number of people arbitrarily detained is estimated at more than one million. For years, using the pretext of a supposed fight against radicalism and poverty, the Communist Party has been systematically persecuting this ethnic group, aiming to eradicate its culture.
- Rooted in current news this investigation traces back Russia's intervention in Syria and sheds light on the war in Ukraine in a different way. Since 2015 in Syria, Vladimir Putin has benefited from the inaction of the United States and its European allies. It is also in Syria that Russia has experimented with its weapons and war diplomacy. This documentary recounts the broad outlines of Russian intervention in the Syrian conflict to understand how it has shaped the Kremlin's foreign policy over the last decade and how it made Vladimir Putin believe that he could easily defeat the Ukrainians. Filmed in Russia, Syria, Europe and the United States, this programmed is full of expert testimonies and archives.
- Injectable anti-inflammatories, anticoagulants, anti-infectives, anticancer drugs and even cotton wools are in short supply. Like many others in France, the pharmacy at Rennes hospital is constantly on the edge. Over the past two decades, shortages of medicines and health products have increased twentyfold in Europe. With almost all laboratories affected, practitioners and health establishments are forced to juggle with quotas to make up for shortages. Some even have to prioritise patients in terms of access to treatments, according to scales established by the laboratories. In the Netherlands, hospital pharmacies have resigned themselves to manufacturing the molecules they lack.
- From peanuts and pollen to cats and dust mites, allergy rates are soaring dramatically all over the globe. Experts are predicting that by 2050, one in two will suffer from an allergy. Why are our immune systems overreacting in this way?
- Valentin is 25 and currently lives in Paris. He grew up in Bucharest before moving to Belgium as a teenager. He is one of the protagonists of the documentary Gara de Nord: copii per strada shot by Antonio Martino in 2005. At the time, Romania was in a state of chaos, Ceausescu's long dictatorship had just come to a violent end. Bucharest was full of abandoned kids. To escape the cold, many would hide in the tunnels of the sewers near the main railway station, the Gara de Nord. All of them forgot their troubles by inhaling Aurolac, a noxious paint, from a plastic bag they always carried with them. Valentin was one of them back then. His life changed when, at the age of fourteen, he was adopted by a Belgian couple of Algerian origin, who, after some initial documents, managed to gain his affection and give him a normal life. Later, Valentin saw the documentary by chance on YouTube, and saw himself as a street kid. He contacted Antonio via Facebook and then he decided to go back to Romania. In the past, he had already gone back to look for his two brothers which he helped move to France. But he still needs to find his mother whom he hasn't seen since he was little and his little sister. Then there are his friends from the sewers and in particular, Marcel, who was a bit older, with whom he spent so much time. Above all, his daughter Eliza, whom he had with a Romanian woman, an ex-street kid. They met on Facebook, she lives in Italy with their daughter, accusing Valentin of not supporting them. During the trip, the search, we see footage of the 2005 documentary and archival footage of Romania, like flashbacks from Valentin's memory. Valentin is accompanied by Antonio's gaze and by the silent presence of his younger brother Constantin, who is also anxious to find the bits of his life he lost along the road, to put together the pieces of an old family photo, torn up a long time ago.
