Foreign Volunteers: In the Hell of Raqqa

Inspired by the mythology of the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War, over 300 foreign volunteers chose to give up their comfortable lives and go fight ISIS in Raqqa. We filmed them there, fly-on-the-wall style, fighting, talking, laughing, being attacked by suicide bombs and sniper fire. We were with them until Raqqa was freed. And then we followed them back home – changed forever. Every night, between July and October 2017, young men with no previous military experience pushed through the most dangerous streets of the world. They conquered Raqqa, block after block. They met death and violence. And eventually, along with the Kurdish and Arab forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces, they liberated Raqqa and ended the reign of the most murderous cult of the XXI century. Some of them went back home. We were there when they told their story to their families. This is the untold story of the young Westerners who left everything behind to fight ISIS.

Spring in January

The drama "Spring in January" is a story about families who started hiding in underground chambers during the Nazi occupation of Belgrade. With the help of adventurous profiteer Mark, they produce weapons for the resistance movement. This work continues even after the war, because their "benefactor" releases fictitious reports on German victories in order to maintain underground production and continue to get rich. Marko manages to convince his best friend Crni (Black) to stay hidden in the basement so that he can keep Natalia for himself, the woman they both love. After twenty years, Crni finds a way out into the "upper world". Although it is 1961, Crni believes that the Nazis are still in power because they managed to make a film showing the German occupation.
