Syrový obraz zvěrstev páchaných v Sýrii pohledem Hamúda a Hasana – dvou občanských novinářů, kteří navzdory brutálním represím přinášejí okolnímu světu informace o situaci v těžce zkoušeném městě. Teroristická organizace, tzv. Islámský stát, obsadila Rakku v roce 2014 a učinila z ní své hlavní sídlo v Sýrii. Hamúd, jeho bratr Hasan a další žurnalisté z aktivistické skupiny Rakka je v tichosti vyvražďována (Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently) nasazují vlastní životy, aby odkrývali zločiny teroristů a vyvraceli jejich propagandu. Když však tzv. Islámský stát částečně rozkryje jejich síť, musí Hamúd s Hasanem své rodné město opustit. Zůstávají ale ve spojení se svými zdroji v Rakce a dále informují svět o životě ve městě. Za svou činnost sklízejí mezinárodní uznání, ovšem ani v exilu nejsou v bezpečí. Film byl uveden na festivalu Sundance 2017 a vyhrál cenu hlavní poroty na festivalu v Sheffieldu.

Cartel Land summary, synopsis, reviews
Cartel LandDocumentary2015

In this Sundance award-winning film, Director Matthew Heineman and Executive Producer Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”, “Zero Dark Thirty”) gain unprecedented, on-the-ground access to the riveting stories of two modern-day vigilante groups and their shared enemy— the murderous Mexican drug cartels. In the Mexican state of Michoacán, Dr. Jose Mireles, a small-town physician known as "El Doctor," leads the Autodefensas, a citizen uprising against the violent Knights Templar drug cartel. Meanwhile, in Arizona's Altar Valley – a narrow, 52-mile-long desert corridor known as Cocaine Alley – Tim "Nailer" Foley, an American veteran, heads a small paramilitary group called Arizona Border Recon, whose goal is to stop Mexico’s drug wars from seeping across our border. Heineman embeds himself in the heart of darkness as Nailer, El Doctor, and the cartel each vie to bring their own brand of justice to a society where institutions have failed. The film is a chilling, visceral meditation on the breakdown of order and the blurry line between good and evil.

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
