Occupation: The Price of The Word

Ten journalists were killed in the line of duty during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. For the Russians, they are one of the priority targets because they prevent them from controlling the occupied territories. Ukrainian journalists destroyed the myth that the Russian army was welcomed with joy. They talked about rallies in the occupied cities where the invaders were shouted at: "Go home!". For this, they were kidnapped, beaten, and threatened with threats to them and their families. This phenomenon was systemic - the occupiers had prepared entire lists on which they were looking for media representatives. In this film by Yanina Kornienko and Yakov Lyubchych, stories of journalists under occupation against whom the Russians committed their heinous crimes are presented.

The War on Democracy

Set both in Latin America and the United States, the film explores the historic and current relationship of Washington with countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. Pilger says that the film "...tells a universal story... analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths. It allows us to understand the true nature of the so-called "war on terror". According to Pilger, the film’s message is that the greed and power of empire is not invincible and that people power is always the "seed beneath the snow".
