Drug dealers, hustlers, killers and thieves – prepared to do whatever it takes to defend their territory. For over ten years gang leader Money controls the drug trade with an iron fist. A bloody territorial war keeps the gang in turmoil. To keep their rivals in check, boss Money needs a steady flow of new weapons. Only with the requisite firepower can they continue to dominate their territory and the other gangs – because the touch-paper might light at any moment. The violent crime rate in Detroit is five times higher than the rest of the country. In two thousand eighteen, over thirteen thousand crimes were reported, many more occurred. Seven Mile in particular is the front line for the bloody territorial battles that brutally define this no-go zone. For the police, every assignment is a risk, which is why bounty hunters are often used to go after criminals. A special unit of bounty hunters prepares for their next assignment on the outskirts of downtown. Tommy Depung leads the unit. So far, he’s arrested over twenty-five hundred criminals. Together with his team, they´re following a hot tip about a wanted drug and weapons dealer, and it’s taking them straight into the no-go zone… ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Siberia. Endless vastness – arctic temperatures. Even farther East than Japan and 5 000 kilometres north of Vladivostok lies Yakutia, the coldest republic of Russia. Yakutsk is the capital of the Yakutia republic and is located about 5100 kilometres east of Moscow. In the midst of it: Oimjakon. With its 500 residents the coldest inhabited place on earth. This village lies in a mountain valley on the upper reaches of the banks of the Indgirka River. One of the major reasons for the freezing temperatures is the great distance from the Atlantic Ocean and the humidity that the Ocean provides to a major part of the Northern Hemisphere. Masses of mountains shield Siberia against the warm air from the west and south, while in the opposite direction, the door to the Artic stands wide open. Thus in the winter, cold masses of air expand into the Siberian landscape completely unrestricted. The average temperature in winter: Minus 40° Celsius. The children of the Siberian Oimjakon have the world`s coldest way to school. The extreme living conditions are completely normal for the residents of Oymyakon. This is also true for the Tariks family and their son Aljosha. He is 8 years old. The children of his age group are only excused from attending school on account of the cold at temperatures below minus 54° degrees. Even before his departure for school Aljosha feels the grim cold. Lacking running water the house also has no bathroom. So Aljosha alredy has to go outside – to the unheated outside earth closet in the garden. Sascha’s mother cooks tea. In order to do so, she must go to outside to the front of the house, which is made of wood- as all houses in Oymyakon. Due to the great temperature differences here, concrete walls would soon crack and be destroyed. In the short summers, it can get quite warm in Oymyakon. In front of the wooden house the ice blocks are stored. The next-door farmer had cut out of the frozen river for them. There is no running water in the Pole of Cold, with temperatures dropping to -65 degrees Celsius; no pipe work has a chance. Aljoshas mother puts the ice in the pot and cooks some tea for her son. Like every day, Aljosha must get ready to go to school. Like the majority of the other students, Sascha wears for the most part his traditional dress. The clothing prescribes to the onion-peel principle in order to protect the students from the Artic temperatures. His mother Irina has heated up the living room to 20° degrees. So when Aljosha opens the front door it is 70° degrees colder – every day life in Oimjakon. As soon as the children open the dormitory’s double doors, the icy cold brutally grabs hold of them. Within less than one second their nostrils become frozen. Unlike the students in other parts of the world, the children from Oymyakon are seldom playful but instead very concentrated on their way to school. With quick steps, they travel in groups, attempting to put the 2 kilometer route behind them as quickly as possible. There are no signs of snow ball fights. The don’t spend a second of time watching the cows, which are kept up to nine months of the year in their stalls, and are now coincidentally being lead out of the barn for a drink. Even though the cows are wearing some sort of special “bras” which protect their udders from freezing. Once in school building, Aljosha and the other students remove many of their layers of clothing, and get going with the school lessons. For the majority of them, a welcome diversion from the coldest inhabited town on the earth.

Every morning, the three sisters Julia, Yulissa and Kenya climb into their dugout in order to row to school. They live on the east coast of Nicaragua, one of the world’s poorest countries, and the youngest of them has just turned five; the oldest is nine. They row across the Rio Escondido. Not only is it one of the largest rivers in the country, it is simultaneously one of the most dangerous routes to school. While they have to watch out for snakes lurking in the trees over the river, the three sisters also struggle against the current and must ensure the dugout does not fill up with water - because it has multiples holes and could sink at any minute. Other classmates do not necessarily have it easier, because they live far from the river, and their journey to school takes them through the deep jungle. One of these classmates is 11-year-old Greyven. His daily trip takes him through the so-called ‘snake field’, in which coral snakes and the infamous boa constrictor reside. On the way to school, the rain drives the snakes from the empty coconuts on the ground; on the way back the afternoon heat, which is over 35 degrees, means that they are lively and belligerent. The daily journey – ashore and to water – to San Mariano’s small village school is an adventure almost unimaginable to us. Every time they undertake this trip, the children expose themselves to life-threatening dangers, all for the chance to have a better future.

Get the five-book collection 👉 Antarctica (2026) The Forbidden Continent That Holds Earth's True History It is the coldest, most isolated place on Earth—and the least understood. Buried beneath Antarctica’s endless ice lie structures, fossils, and clues that could rewrite what we know about Earth’s history—and challenge our understanding of the ancient world. For centuries, Antarctica was nothing more than a blank space on ancient maps, an untouched, frozen world at the edge of civilization. Twice the size of Australia, larger than all of Europe, and holding 90% of the world’s ice, Antarctica remains one of the least explored places on the planet. But as technology advanced and exploration deepened, something strange began to emerge. From ancient maps that show the continent without ice, to satellite images capturing shapes too symmetrical to be natural, Antarctica has become more than a land of snow and silence. Whispers of hidden research zones, forbidden discoveries, and unexplained sightings have only deepened the mystery. In this documentary, we explore what has been found on this continent, the stories passed down through history, and how they may connect to what lies beneath the ice. We’ll examine the myths, the discoveries, and what makes it Earth’s most mysterious and only forbidden continent. You’ll hear the legends. See the evidence. And decide for yourself what Antarctica is truly hiding. 🎧 Listen on Spotify:

The Last Cavemen: The Filipino Tribe That Lives Inside a Volcano World’s Toughest Places - Philippines: In 1978, the world learned about the existence of a previously undiscovered tribe: the Taaw’t Bato, a few hundred individuals hidden in the heart of the jungle on the Philippine island of Palawan. During the rainy season, they hide in giant natural caves for months to protect themselves from typhoons. They survive by fishing and hunting bats. But the Philippine government decided that these semi-nomadic people needed to be made sedentary. Gradually leaving the jungle and the caves behind, the Taaw’t Bato discovered urban life – and extreme poverty. Yet, over the past few years, dozens of sedentary Taaw’t Bato families have made a radical choice: unable to fit into this new environment, they have decided to leave the city, return to the land of their ancestors, and settle there forever. We will follow the incredible journey of one such family, which has chosen to embark on this journey back to the jungle. The elders will revive ancestral customs; the youths will have to learn everything. This will be a huge challenge for all of them: to survive the rainy season, they must make it all the way to the caves, their last refuge. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

This groundbreaking series tells the story of The Second World War from a perspective that recognises the overwhelming fact of war as a human experience. Our narrative begins not with the German invasion of Poland, but two years earlier, when Japan invaded China. The war in Europe joined in 1939 and, in 1941 with Pearl Harbor and the sweeping Japanese offensive, the war became global. The series' eight episodes advance through the chronology, using international resources to tell this story from a global perspective. More than 70 eminent international experts contribute insights and opinions, including noted authorities in the fields of military history, political history, social history and well-known general historians of the war, including Sir Max Hastings and Antony Beevor. 00:00 Episode 1 - We Are At War Retraces the beginning of the German invasion of Poland and the segregation of the Jews. Mussolini joins Hitler in his fight against the Allies, Winston Churchill is appointed British Prime Minister, and Germany invades France. 50:01 Episode 2 - We Shall Go On Germany continues to build its empire in Europe, and the Führer seeks to crush Britain with the Luftwaffe; France is conquered and divided, since Churchill rejects any attempt at an armistice. 01:40:03 Episode 3 - Infamy By June 1941, Hitler had become master of Europe, save for the USSR. He thought that the conquest of it would be finished in a just weeks, but the Red Army refused to collapse.

See the great migration as never before! The Mara River, nature’s best laid trap for migratory animals, is the stage for a grandiose spectacle. When food supply in the Serengeti dwindles, the Masai Mara is a paradise for predators. As the black wildebeests, gazelles, zebras and antelopes make their yearly trip from the south of the Serengeti to the north, nature’s best laid trap, the Mara River in Kenya is waiting ahead. Captivating shots filmed under water show how crocodiles prepare for the Big Hunt while other predators lurk on the banks awaiting their bounty. The biggest problems for the migratory animals are the Mara and the Tarek River, where they have to put their lives at risk to get to the other side. A great number of them die as they jump into the river and break their legs, while others are carried away by the drift or drown. Those who are not victims of the river itself risk falling prey to the crocodiles. We entered this unchartered territory, the crocodile domain by heading under water. Follow these predators in and around their habitat and watch prides of lions map out their game plan. In slow-motion, we show you the final showdown between predator and prey. Will it be a successful hunt or will the hoofed animals persevere? ➡

Now available remastered with improved audio: Survivors, current members and parents visit this link for help: The Group is a network of adolescent drug abuse programs created by Bob Meehan and operated by his son-in-law and protege Clint Stonebraker. Ostensibly aimed at helping young people overcome drug addiction, all evidence points to an organization that aims for profits and operates on a cult-like mentality. This organization, while claiming to have rescued thousands of teens from the horrors of drug addiction, has been repeatedly accused of using cult-like practices to control its teenage followers and their concerned families. The Group is a feature-length documentary that retraces the director's five year journey through the world of adolescent drug abuse programs. Through interviews with former members, archival photographs and expert witnesses, The Group tells the often personal story of the young people affected by the organization, their struggles with addiction and life after The Group.

For 10 days in July 2018, a Texas parolee terrorized the city of Houston. Jose Gilberto Rodriguez's violent spree exposed cracks in the criminal justice system, devastated families, and set off a manhunt that became a race against time. "We started to realize that the bodies were stacking up and in a very quick amount of time," remembered Samantha Knecht, a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. "We had to find the guy because we just knew that it wasn't going to stop." The first victim, 62-year-old Pamela Johnson had been discovered in her Cypress home by her brothers. Then, there were two more murders, employees working alone at two separate mattress stores. "Once he realized a business with a single worker was an easier target, he repeated the same M.O.," Houston Police Department Sgt. John Stroble explained. And detectives would soon discover more violent crimes. "This guy within the span of about 4 days seems to have lost his mind," said David Crain, a homicide detective with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. In the latest ABC13 Texas True Crime episode, Jessica Willey interviews the victims' families and takes viewers inside the investigation with never-before-seen video. See how the search for Rodriguez came to a dramatic end and how his rampage led to greater parolee oversight. "I can't believe that someone could take that many lives and still be breathing," Johnson's sister Peggy Bosse, said. "He's got a dead soul."

Lion Pride vs. Hyenas, a Fight for Territory | FULL EPISODE | Wildlife Documentary follows the oldest law of the African grassland: the strong own the ground, and everyone else lives on the hours that remain. Beneath an acacia a lion pride sleeps through the heat of midday, and while lions and spotted hyenas rest, the lightest big cat in Africa goes out to hunt, because a cheetah has no land of its own, only hours of its own. Through cinematic footage and educational storytelling, this documentary follows two cheetah mothers raising their litters inside lion country. On the Serengeti plains, of 125 cubs followed from the den, fewer than one in twenty lived to hunt on its own, and lions caused nearly four in every five of those losses. One mother loses her litter to a lioness waiting at the thicket. Another runs straight across the path of a patrolling male lion to pull him off the grass where her cubs lie still. Then the story climbs to the Tibetan Plateau, where summer lasts a few short months, a Tibetan fox must catch twenty pikas a day alone after wolves take his mate, and kiang mares close a ring of hooves that the wolf will not break. What follows is the part almost no wildlife documentary shows. From the thirtieth minute the film moves to the territory itself: a lioness hunting alone on short grass at midday and failing, and the pride that does not fail, because in the Serengeti a lioness stays on the land where she was born for her whole life. Thirty eight years of records across forty six prides show that larger prides take the best river, thicket and trails and hold them longest. A rival line of lionesses appears across the water and the border is settled by counting roars, the pride traps a zebra herd between two wings, a wandering male coalition walks toward the cubs and meets a line of mothers it cannot push through, and an old male ends up alone at the edge before any battle for the crown. The crown is counted in seasons, the land in generations. The journey then opens to killer whale families led by grandmothers, a lion nursery in Katavi, great white sharks testing young seals and the wildebeest crossing of the Serengeti. 0:00 Every Throne Has a Challenger 0:45 Lion Pride Rests at Midday 2:32 Liuwa Plain: Cheetahs Avoid Lion Hours 3:45 Young Cheetahs on the Termite Mound 4:20 Cheetah vs Warthog Mother 6:52 Mother Cheetah: The Real Cost of Midday 7:43 Fewer Than One Cub in Twenty Survives 8:38 Lioness Ambush at the Thicket 9:57 Only One Cub Remains 11:55 A Second Mother on Borrowed Grassland 13:05 Male Lions Patrol the Territory Edge 13:53 Cheetah vs Male Lion: The Decoy Run 16:09 Cheetah Hunts Alone at Midday 17:46 Cheetah vs Impala 19:13 The Lions Rise, the Weak Hours Close 20:11 Tibetan Plateau: One Short Summer 21:06 Tibetan Fox: Big Head, Small Body 23:07 Tibetan Fox vs Pika 25:02 Kiang Herds on the Summer Meadows 25:48 Tibetan Wolves vs Kiang Herd 26:15 The Kiang Ring: The Wolf Gives Up 29:33 Lion Territory: Who Truly Rules the Land 30:38 Lone Lioness vs Warthog at Midday 35:11 Thirty Eight Years and Forty Six Prides 35:51 Border Standoff at the Water 36:27 Counting the Roars 41:51 Lion Pride vs Zebra Herd 45:05 The Lioness Who Leads the Pride 47:05 Male Coalition Enters the Territory 49:38 Lionesses Form a Line for the Cubs 52:56 Old Male Lion Alone at the Edge 55:48 Killer Whales Hunt in Silence 56:18 Orcas vs Harbor Seals at High Tide 1:05:57 The Living Map: Sixty Years Without a Calf 1:08:05 Grandmother Orcas Lead in Hungry Years 1:19:08 Orcas vs Humpback Mother and Calf 1:28:04 True Power Is Silent 1:37:58 Katavi Lion Nursery: Shared Milk 1:48:01 Katavi: Elephants Take the Last Pool 1:58:02 Lion Cubs: Two Years of School 2:08:24 Loggerhead Turtles: No Teacher 2:18:08 Great White Shark vs Young Seals 2:28:27 Serengeti Dawn: Lions Wait for Wildebeest 2:38:11 Wildebeest Calf: Fifteen Minutes to Stand 2:48:01 Wildebeest Crossing: Crocodile Ambush 2:58:00 Lion Pride: Forty Members, One Territory 3:08:55 Impala vs Cheetah on Open Ground 3:18:00 Zebra Crossing: Nile Crocodiles Wait 3:28:03 Cheetah vs Gazelle at 68 Miles an Hour 3:38:00 Lions vs Buffalo Herd: Wall of Horns Epic Moments in This Documentary: A young cheetah charging a warthog mother and being chased back across the grassland A lioness bursting from the thicket as a cheetah mother sprints across her path A mother cheetah racing a male lion one body length behind her to pull him off her cubs A cheetah bringing down an impala in the only hours that belong to the weak A Tibetan fox pouncing on a pika burrow and coming up with a mouthful of dirt Kiang mares closing a ring of hooves around their foals as Tibetan wolves circle Two lines of lionesses facing each other across the water as the roars are counted A lion pride closing a two wing trap on a zebra herd in the tall grass

Siberia. Endless vastness – arctic temperatures. Even farther East than Japan and 5 000 kilometres north of Vladivostok lies Yakutia, the coldest republic of Russia. Yakutsk is the capital of the Yakutia republic and is located about 5100 kilometres east of Moscow. In the midst of it: Oimjakon. With its 500 residents the coldest inhabited place on earth. This village lies in a mountain valley on the upper reaches of the banks of the Indgirka River. One of the major reasons for the freezing temperatures is the great distance from the Atlantic Ocean and the humidity that the Ocean provides to a major part of the Northern Hemisphere. Masses of mountains shield Siberia against the warm air from the west and south, while in the opposite direction, the door to the Artic stands wide open. Thus in the winter, cold masses of air expand into the Siberian landscape completely unrestricted. The average temperature in winter: Minus 40° Celsius. The children of the Siberian Oimjakon have the world`s coldest way to school. The extreme living conditions are completely normal for the residents of Oymyakon. This is also true for the Tariks family and their son Aljosha. He is 8 years old. The children of his age group are only excused from attending school on account of the cold at temperatures below minus 54° degrees. Even before his departure for school Aljosha feels the grim cold. Lacking running water the house also has no bathroom. So Aljosha alredy has to go outside – to the unheated outside earth closet in the garden. Sascha’s mother cooks tea. In order to do so, she must go to outside to the front of the house, which is made of wood- as all houses in Oymyakon. Due to the great temperature differences here, concrete walls would soon crack and be destroyed. In the short summers, it can get quite warm in Oymyakon. In front of the wooden house the ice blocks are stored. The next-door farmer had cut out of the frozen river for them. There is no running water in the Pole of Cold, with temperatures dropping to -65 degrees Celsius; no pipe work has a chance. Aljoshas mother puts the ice in the pot and cooks some tea for her son. Like every day, Aljosha must get ready to go to school. Like the majority of the other students, Sascha wears for the most part his traditional dress. The clothing prescribes to the onion-peel principle in order to protect the students from the Artic temperatures. His mother Irina has heated up the living room to 20° degrees. So when Aljosha opens the front door it is 70° degrees colder – every day life in Oimjakon. As soon as the children open the dormitory’s double doors, the icy cold brutally grabs hold of them. Within less than one second their nostrils become frozen. Unlike the students in other parts of the world, the children from Oymyakon are seldom playful but instead very concentrated on their way to school. With quick steps, they travel in groups, attempting to put the 2 kilometer route behind them as quickly as possible. There are no signs of snow ball fights. The don’t spend a second of time watching the cows, which are kept up to nine months of the year in their stalls, and are now coincidentally being lead out of the barn for a drink. Even though the cows are wearing some sort of special “bras” which protect their udders from freezing. Once in school building, Aljosha and the other students remove many of their layers of clothing, and get going with the school lessons. For the majority of them, a welcome diversion from the coldest inhabited town on the earth.

Most Dangerous Ways To School - Bolivia Most Dangerous Ways To School - Vietnam: The Yungas Valley in Bolivia: a unique landscape, where the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon Rain Forest. In this remote section of one of the poorest countries in South America, children have a very long and incredible dangerous walk to school ahead of them. All for one goal: education – for a better life. Seven-year-old Elmer wants to become an engineer and to build his own house, far away from the remote village. But his only way to school leads over a ravine more than 650 feet deep and about 1000 feet long: a kind of homemade zip-line. He has to entrust his live on a rusty iron pulley and a worn plastic bag. On the other side of the valley, on the summit of the mountain range, is where the sisters Helen and Mariela live. Isolated, and in the heart of the jungle. Of all the children who attend the school, the sisters live furthest away. Fear, hunger, and exhaustion are their constant companions. For them, education the key to a new, better world. And that’s why they run great risks every day in pursuit of it. All this is more than just a walk to school – It is a test in the vast jungle. Throughout this journey they all have only one goal in mind: to ultimately find a job in a city and lead a better life. __________________________________________________________

Every morning, the three sisters Julia, Yulissa and Kenya climb into their dugout in order to row to school. They live on the east coast of Nicaragua, one of the world’s poorest countries, and the youngest of them has just turned five; the oldest is nine. They row across the Rio Escondido. Not only is it one of the largest rivers in the country, it is simultaneously one of the most dangerous routes to school. While they have to watch out for snakes lurking in the trees over the river, the three sisters also struggle against the current and must ensure the dugout does not fill up with water - because it has multiples holes and could sink at any minute. Other classmates do not necessarily have it easier, because they live far from the river, and their journey to school takes them through the deep jungle. One of these classmates is 11-year-old Greyven. His daily trip takes him through the so-called ‘snake field’, in which coral snakes and the infamous boa constrictor reside. On the way to school, the rain drives the snakes from the empty coconuts on the ground; on the way back the afternoon heat, which is over 35 degrees, means that they are lively and belligerent. The daily journey – ashore and to water – to San Mariano’s small village school is an adventure almost unimaginable to us. Every time they undertake this trip, the children expose themselves to life-threatening dangers, all for the chance to have a better future.

Military Airplanes: Military aircraft that have made history, and that have driven technical innovation in aviation. For several decades now, it has been aircraft above all that have decided the outcome of military conflicts. No wonder that unimaginable sums have been invested in their development. Engineers around the world assiduously improve the speed, range, versatility, and armament of military aircraft, thus decisively advancing innovation in aviation. Ultimate Vehicles showcases the best fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft. It is the result of the largest armaments program of all time: the F-35 Lightning II. When developing it, engineers had to satisfy numerous demands at once: a stealth aircraft with high speed and excellent avionics. In addition, it had to have vertical and short takeoff capability. How well was this mammoth task executed? It shocked the West and taught American bomber pilots during the Korean War the meaning of fear. The Mig-15 was the first Soviet fighter jet. Today there are only 12 airworthy Mig-15s left. We take off with one of them. Three decades later, the successful aircraft manufacturer Mikoyan-Gurevich had another stroke of genius: the Mig-29. Its maneuverability is unparalleled, and today it is considered one of the best fighter jets in the world. “Ultimate Vehicles” presents the technical features responsible for this. One day it will be the longest-serving military aircraft: the B-52 Stratofortress. It is planned to be used for about 90 years. What is behind this legendary airplane’s longevity? And how does a plane with a 56-meter wingspan take off and land? The Airbus A400M is considered the most modern transport aircraft in the world. For a propeller aircraft of this weight, it can fly unusually fast and high – but also slow and low – thus making it incredibly versatile. __________________________________________________________

An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug. A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe – all that in just 90 days. The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years – and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker – one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world. The ALP Striker will pull the drilling rig across the oceans on arm-thick steel cables. They are so heavy that only the ship's own crane can move them. Connecting tug and rig alone takes a whole day. Once the drilling rig is towed to the tug, they’re embarking on a journey never before seen: around the cape of good hope. Navigation, pirates, wind and waves – there are many unpredictable challenges along the way. Once they have managed them all, the destination is in sight: the Canary islands. __________________________________________________________

Now available remastered with improved audio: Survivors, current members and parents visit this link for help: The Group is a network of adolescent drug abuse programs created by Bob Meehan and operated by his son-in-law and protege Clint Stonebraker. Ostensibly aimed at helping young people overcome drug addiction, all evidence points to an organization that aims for profits and operates on a cult-like mentality. This organization, while claiming to have rescued thousands of teens from the horrors of drug addiction, has been repeatedly accused of using cult-like practices to control its teenage followers and their concerned families. The Group is a feature-length documentary that retraces the director's five year journey through the world of adolescent drug abuse programs. Through interviews with former members, archival photographs and expert witnesses, The Group tells the often personal story of the young people affected by the organization, their struggles with addiction and life after The Group.
