Fighting the Ku Klux Klan: From Civil Rights to Today | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-09-27 | The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest terrorist group in the United States. This secret society, created in 1865, has survived throughout the decades and has always managed to rise from its ashes. It has been making the news for over 150 years. 150 years of hatred, racism and horror. A cruel history whose demons still haunt America.With the civil rights movement gaining momentum, the Ku Klux Klan once again set out on the march in the Southern United States. Complicitly with local authorities, white supremacists unleashed a wave of hatred in the 1960s: the attack on the church in Birmingham, the assassination of civil rights activists. Their crimes shocked public opinion.Under political pressure, the FBI went on the offensive. The result: in the 1970s, the Klan had only a few thousand members left. A new leader, David Duke, tried for a time to give it a veneer of respectability, but terror was still part of the organization's DNA. Little by little, the Klansmen swapped their hoods for military fatigues and swastika tattoos. Today the ranks of the Klan and other supremacist groups are swelling once again in Donald Trump's America.Documentary: Ku Klux Klan : EP2 An American History (2020)Directed by: David Korn-Brzoza Production: ROCHE Productions#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #CivilRights #KKK #AmericanHistory #USHistory #Racism #CivilRightsMovement #HumanRights #SocialJustice #HistoryDocumentary #UnitedStates

In this time young leftist activists In Western Europe idolized Mao as a harbinger of a utopian society. As China eased out of its age of isolation in the early 1970's, many Westerners outside of China had to face a harsh reality.When the Westerners were finally granted permission to leave, they were shocked to find their peers in Europe cheering for the very dictator they had just fled.

Ukraine’s Bear Sanctuary: Healing the Abused | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-09-13 | After years of torture, abuse and ridicule, more than a dozen brown “vodka bears” are today being rehabilitated in a 43-hectar national park in Synevir, Ukraine. This is the fascinating story of Europe's largest rehabilitation centre for brown bears, which is located in the rugged Carpathian Mountains, near the wild border with Romania and Hungary. Our team implants itself within the bear community in this isolated outpost to tell the largely unknown story of how — despite the conflicts tearing it apart – the Ukraine is managing to unite on a common cause - to return to this community of exemplary, massive brown bears, their stolen dignity. In 2011, the Ukrainian Environmental Ministry banned keeping brown bears in private captivity. But before then, it was not uncommon for bears to be held captive in horrific conditions. They were forced to drink hard alcohol – often vodka – then made to wear skirts and dance or perform other tricks in hotels, restaurants, petrol stations and illegal circuses to amuse visitors. Some of these places still exist today, but one by one, the bears are being released from their shackles and reintroduced to the wild.Shot entirely in full HD in one of the most rugged and wild landscapes of eastern Europe, this film series takes the viewer on an intimate voyage deep into the Carpathian Mountains, to tell the story of how one of the continent's most majestic animals is being rehabilitated into the wild after a life of abuse. Each bear's unique story is drawn out in a natural and unscripted manner, with filming techniques that allows for the juxtaposition of the squalid sad conditions of captivity with the challenges of re-establishing a healthy new life and body in the wild. Particular attention will be given to the relation of trust and distrust between man and beast, as well as the power, personality and resilience of each animal in its natural habitat.Documentary: House of the Vodka Bears (2016) Directed by: Andrea Vogt, Paul Russell, Mykhailo YelchevProduction: Autentic#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #Ukraine #CarpathianMountains #BrownBears #WildlifeRescue #VodkaBears #AnimalRights #AnimalRescue #BearSanctuary #WildlifeConservation #NatureDocumentary #FreeDocumentary #EndCaptivity

The Vatican and Hitler: Silence in the Face of Nazi Crimes | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-08-20 | In the midst of WWII, Catholics looked to the pope to guide them. Hitler had already begun secretly launching his plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Secretly, that is, to most- except Pope Pius XII. The pope remained silent whilst the rest of the world awaited any kind of grand gesture or speech condemning Hitler’s atrocities.He chose to keep quiet in the face of the crimes committed by the Nazis throughout Europe, crimes that even took place below the Pope’s own windows, like the 1943 liquidation of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome, to which the pope made no official reaction.At first glance, Nazism and Catholicism are diametrically opposed. The Vatican even seems an institution beyond all suspicion. The Church, however, faced in turn with the rise of Nazism, the Second World War and the extermination of Jews, will play an ambiguous – at times unholy – role. Several men of the Church, priests and bishops, being fervent admirers of Hitler, even fell into complicity…Documentary: The Vatican and the Third Reich : An Unholy Alliance (2016)Directed by: Juliette DesboisProduction: TCD#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #HistoryDocumentary #WWII #PopePiusXII #VaticanHistory #Holocaust #Vatican #Pope

Others like frogs and birds, use love songs to entice a mate. And there are even animals that use sounds to ‘see’. Both bats and dolphins make high frequency sounds and listen to the returning echoes bouncing off any objects in their path to navigate and locate their prey. The sound-track of nature brings our world to life.We often think we are special because of our desire to communicate. We see language as a human trait.

With them and through their work, we discover how the subtilities of the tectonic process can be read in the relief of the land. But this voyage is also an opportunity to set the development of life against the geological time scale, from the first appearance of living organisms, aquatic and terrestrial plants, mammals, and – finally – human beings. A fascinating geological epic that takes us back over a billion years ago, to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of three of the largest continents – Africa, North America and South America – and decipher the evolution of their magnificent landscapes, tirelessly re-sculpted.Documentary: Voyage of the Continents (2014)Directed by: Alexis de FavitskiProduction: Taxi Brousse#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #Geology #Continents #Africa #America #CentralAmerica #NorthAmerica #SouthAmerica #ContinentalDrift #PlateTectonics #GeologicalHistory #EarthScience #Pangea #TectonicPlates #NaturalHistory #GeologyDocumentary #EarthEvolution

Venice’s 2019 Flooding : A Preventable Disaster? | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-07-26 | November 2019, Venice was swallowed up by the sea.In the night between the 12th and 13th November 2019 80% of the old town of Venice drowned. Hundreds of businesses were destroyed and the ancient crypt of St. Mark’s Cathedral was flooded. It was the worst flooding since the great flood of 1966, which set in motion a worldwide effort to save the city from the dual threats of subsidence and rising sea levels. But the plan has failed. Despite investments worth 6 million euros into the MOSE surge barrier, the high lunar tide, heavy rain and the easterly winds drove the sea right into Venice’s streets. Starting “The Day after”, we assess what led to the disaster that may have killed Venice once and for all. We reconstruct the tragedy with hundreds of photographs and videos shot during the high tide, and we look into the past, more than fifty years ago, when it all started.Documentary: The Death of Venice (2020)Directed by: Paul Russel and Andrea VogtProduction: Millstream Films & Media#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #VeniceFlood #ClimateChange #MOSEProject #SeaLevelRise #VeniceDisaster #AcquaAlta #UrbanResilience #CoastalCities #FloodPrevention
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette: The Fall of the French Monarchy | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-07-23 | A lavish drama-documentary chronicling the final days of the Bourbon dynasty under the ill fated Louis XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette. Unlike his highly sexed forebears, it takes Louis seven years to consummate his marriage. And his performance as ruler of France is no more distinguished than his efforts in the royal bed chamber. The French people are starving but the aristocracy is too busy partying inside the gilded palace of Versailles to take much notice. Louis tries to make a difference but his every attempt at reform is blocked by his greedy relatives. Marie Antoinette gets much of the blame for the excesses of the rich, even if she never uttered the famous words ‘Let Them Eat Cake’.As he drifts into depression and madness, Louis and his Queen attempt to stave off a revolution. Spoiler alert: they don’t succeed.Documentary: The Rise and Fall of Versailles EP3 : Versailles Countdown to Revolution – Louis XVI (2011)Directed by: Thierry BinistiProduction: Les Films d’Ici#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #LouisXVI #MarieAntoinette #FrenchRevolution #Versailles #FallOfTheMonarchy #HistoryDocumentary #18thCenturyFrance #BourbonDynasty #Guillotine #LetThemEatCake
Canelle: An Orphaned Chimpanzee’s Return to the Wild | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-07-21 | Canelle was a six-month-old female chimpanzee when her mother was killed by poachers. Alone in the vast equatorial forest, she wouldn’t have survived if it wasn’t for the pygmies who found her and then took her to a specialist refuge. That was where she encountered Patricia Leschaeve.There, on the banks of the Sanaga river, Canelle’s long apprenticeship began. Over five years, Patricia gradually taught her to become autonomous and to live as part of a society, as her mother would have done. In the course of the time they shared together, a strong bond formed between Patricia and Cannelle. But the return to life in the wild as part of a troop of chimpanzees is inevitable, and the separation was always going to be delicate.Over five years, the filmmakers captured Canelle’s incredible story. Following the entire rehabilitation process until her return to the wild, this documentary bears testimony to the poignant mutual attachment between a chimpanzee and its adoptive mother.Documentary: The Fabulous Story of Canelle the Chimp (2015)Directed by: Julien Ansault & Jean BarraudProduction: ZED#Documentary #FreeDocumentary #FullDocumentary #ChimpanzeeRescue #WildlifeRehabilitation #AnimalBond #PrimateConservation #ChimpanzeeStory #WildlifeDocumentary #ReturnToTheWild #OrphanedChimpanzee #AnimalRescueStory #CongoRainforest

When the Soviets Invaded Afghanistan: A Historic Shift | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-07-16 | In December 1979, Soviet troops entered Afghanistan. The intervention of Soviet forces in Afghanistan was a pivotal event in 20th-century history… one that gave rise to Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden. This war changed the face of the world.Thanks to the declassification of numerous archives that had remained secret until now, cross-referenced with testimonies from agents on all sides (including Mikhail Gorbachev, who speaks for the first time about the invasion), this film offers a fresh perspective on history and helps us understand how we reached such a confrontation between the Muslim world and the Western world.In Western countries, this conflict is known as "the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan." For the Russians, however, it was the "deployment of a limited contingent." This so-called "limited contingent" operation lasted 10 years and played a crucial role in the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was the last conflict of the Cold War and the first in a long series of wars that have yet to come to an end.This film aims to revisit this lesser-known chapter of contemporary history by examining it from the perspective of the Soviet "invaders."Documentary: Afghanistan 1979, the War that Changed the World (2014)Directed by: Gulya MirzoevaProduction: Point du Jour#documentary #freedocumentary #fulldocumentary #history #afghanistan #middleast #afghanwar #war #soviet #sovietunion #coldwar
Goats: Social, Smart, and Surprisingly Sensitive | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-07-14 | Goats are not just cute and somewhat goofy. They’re also surprisingly intelligent!

Some of them have even become social media stars, and associations like “Goats of Anarchy” gather thousands of people online. But what truly makes this animal so fascinating? What if goats were in fact incredibly smart and sensitive, capable of building genuine emotional relationships with humans? Pirouettes in the mountains, intellectual and agility tests, yoga or tree climbing… From USA to Morocco, via France, this film exposes the extraordinary behaviors and abilities of the goat, an animal as free as it is endearing!Documentary: Smart as a goat (2019)Directed by: Emma BAUSProduction: NORD-OUEST DOCUMENTAIRES #FullDocumentary #Documentary #Goats #Goat #Animals #SmartAnimals #GoatIntelligence #GoatsOfYouTube #AnimalBehavior #FarmAnimals #NatureDocumentary #AnimalIntelligence

Holocaust Memory, Justice, and the Eichmann Trial | FULL DOCUMENTARY SLICE Full Doc 2025-06-18 | The survivors of the camps who arrived in Israel were walled in silence, living in a society that did not acknowledge them. The writers David Grossman and Aaron Appelfeld, the journalist Tom Seguev, and the historians Yitzhak Arad and David Silberklang all delved into their memories to provide an account of the arrival of the survivors, and their difficult integration into Israeli society until the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961. The Nazi regime’s former specialist on the emigration of Jews and the coordinator of their extermination was tracked down to Argentina, where he had fled after the war, and where he was living comfortably among the German ex-pat community in Buenos Aires. He was captured by Mossad who brought him back to Israel to be tried. His appearance in the Jerusalem courtroom was a shock: bald, in a drab suit, he looked like an ageing, inoffensive bureaucrat. It was this image which stuck in the mind of the philosopher Hannah Arendt, who came to cover the trial for the New Yorker magazine, resulting her description of “the banality of evil”. She sat through a week of hearings, whereas the trial lasted for a whole year, and did not see Eichmann’s true personality as committed Nazi, lofty, authoritarian and violent. Facing the glass cage which acts as a dock, the deportees were called to the witness stand to testify at great length. For the first time, they could tell what happened to them. For the first time, they were listened to.Simon Wiesenthal and Serge and Beate Klarsfeld set about tracking down Nazi war criminals to bring them to justice, like the directors and guards of the Treblinka death camp, who were tried in 1964 in Dusseldorf, and Klaus Barbie, whom the Klarsfelds tracked down to Bolivia in 1971, and who was tried in 1987 in Lyon.While in July 2002, the Simon Wiesenthal Center launched its operation “Last Chance” to find the last Nazis still alive, others were trying to preserve the memory, the culture, and the ghosts of those who had disappeared, an exercise which at times resulted in visitor circuits, raising the difficult question: where does commemoration end, and tourist attraction begin? Faced with the disappearance of the last survivors, it was no doubt literature which offered the best way to conserve their memory, according to the writer A. B. Yeoshua. Especially since two phenomena were threatening to undermine understanding of the genocide: a feeling of saturation, and the banalization of terms, which tend to obscure its absolute horror.Documentary: Annihilation EP8 Lest We Forget Directed by: William Karel & Blanche FingerProduction: ZADIG PRODUCTIONS#FullDocumentary #Documentary #HolocaustSurvivors #EichmannTrial #HolocaustJustice #JewishHistory #Mossad #Auschwitz #WWII #Nazi
