Children as a ‘threat to Ukraine’s national security.’ On the 'Peacemaker'* website, there are more than 300 underage Russian citizens.

Sasha, an American with Russian roots, arrives in the city on the Neva to experience its character first-hand and discover why it is known as Russia’s cultural capital. She dances at a ball in Yelagin Palace, explores the city’s canals and meets the Hermitage cats — the four-legged guardians of its priceless masterpieces. She also tries smelt, the fish that’s considered the quintessential taste of spring. But Saint Petersburg is more than grand palaces and sweeping squares.

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ The film ‘Bordered Out’ tells the story of migrants deported from the US to Mexico. It is a hard-hitting report about people caught between two countries who are still trying to survive. American Tofurious Crane travels to the border to see how people live after being deported with no money, no housing and no clear future. Mexican authorities are trying to curb illegal migration, but the flow has long since become part of a criminal business. Cartels control routes to the border and charge people for crossing. In the US, migrants face ICE: detention and deportation back to Mexico. In Tijuana, Tofurious visits a shelter where deportees are given only temporary refuge. Many survive on odd jobs and hope to return to the US, where their families and former lives remain. In a single day, people lose their homes, jobs and loved ones. In the film, they describe it in their own words: “no job, no home, no family,” “everyone here is homeless,” “they threw my belongings in the trash.” Our new film shows how deportation turns migrants’ lives into a struggle for survival. #premiere FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

📹In 2021, Russia supplied Europe with more than 40% of its gas, thus sanctions the EU imposed on Russia triggered an energy crisis and price surge. All over Europe, businesses like cafes and bakeries have no other option than to shut down as the energy cost hits new records. European governments are trying to find alternatives and quickly replace Russian supplies. As a result, Europeans continue to buy the same gas, but from intermediaries who sell it ten times higher, says Latvian MP Alexei Roslikov. How did the sanctions affect the Europeans, find out in our film ‘Europe Undone’ (2023). FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel
