Europe’s football hooligans
#video#Germany
Two walls of tough men stand on opposite sides, ready to clash in a brutal melee. The fight takes just a few minutes and members of the defeated side lie on the ground and cling to their wounds and bruises. It’s not a medieval fight, but a stand-off between rival gangs of football hooligans. For them ’it feels like being in a movie’.
Modern football hooliganism originated in England in the 1960s, when working-class football fans organised into gangs, known as ‘firms’. Now they are all over Europe, from Sweden to Greece. Hooligans are seen as the most fanatical followers of their football clubs, but the love of the fight often seems to outweigh the love of the game.
Many hooligans admit they like the sense of brotherhood and the buzz. They train, arrange fights with rival gangs and vent all their rage and violence on rivals. If you’d like to know more about the culture of football violence, check out our hit documentary.

#video#Bangladesh
Myanmar’s ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been sentenced to four years in prison for inciting unrest and violating COVID restrictions. Suu Kyi faces 11 charges that could see her imprisoned for life. The politician was once seen as a beacon for human rights. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her struggle against military rule. However, Suu Kyi’s image suffered badly following the Rohingya crisis.
In 2017, nearly a million Muslim Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh, running from an army crackdown. The government denied the violence took place and claimed the troops only targeted insurgents, not civilians. But numerous accounts of Rohingya refugees tell a different story of slaughter and persecution.
Hear one of the stories from our documentary, Rohingya Unpeopled, and don’t forget to check out the whole film.

Slaves of Bangladesh brickyards
#video#Bangladesh
Slavery exists in 2021. Workers of Bangladeshi brick factories are living proof. Men, women, and children mix the clay with water, fill wooden forms, and make bricks. Take this brickyard and compare it to one from the 19th century - there will be no difference.
Brickyard workers complain about low wages and non-existent regulations. As a result, they breathe in the red dust that causes lung diseases and risk accidents. If someone dies, 'no one cares', they say, and the owners beat them and treat them 'as dogs'.
Bricks are in high demand in Bangladesh, with a 160 million population rapidly moving to the cities. People need to live somewhere and need cheap building materials. Brick-making is seasonal, so workers toil away before the rains start. Then they go back to their homes that aren't even made of bricks.

Agent Orange
#video#Vietnam
The Vietnam War ended in 1975, but its horrible impact echoes across generations of Vietnamese. Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City is home to dozens of children born with an array of defects, including missing limbs, abnormal head growths, and severe developmental and mental health disorders. This is because all their ancestors were once exposed to Agent Orange, a potent dioxin-laced defoliant.
The US military used the chemical to clear dense jungle to drive out Vietcong fighters. The US warplanes dropped some 68 million litres of Agent Orange in a decade. It caused cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and disabilities in those immediately exposed.
Children at the Tu Du hospital are ‘in pain’, the medical staff say. Most of the kids are orphans whose parents couldn’t take care of them. It’s a sinister testimony of the Agent Orange legacy in Vietnam. For the entire documentary, click here.

Where ships and people die
#video#Bangladesh
Have you ever wondered where ships go after serving their time (25-30 years)? 🚢 Chittagong, Bangladesh is one of the world’s biggest shipbreaking centres, where over 200 vessels are dismantled every year.
Shipbreaking is a lucrative business in Chittagong, where labour is cheap and safety measures are non-existent. Workers take ships apart by hand, so tragedies occur all the time. However, locals hold on to their jobs in shipbreaking yards, because work is scarce.

My favourite Nollywood movie 🎞
#video#Nigeria
Everybody comes to Nollywood…. What? Yes, it’s just like Hollywood, except it’s in Nigeria. It’s a thriving industry that produces hundreds of films every year. Despite the Covid pandemic, Nollywood broke its record with 2599 movies produced in 2020. What’s the secret?
The longer the production process - the more expensive a movie gets. That’s why films are produced at the speed of sound in Nigeria. Still, Nollywood is a major employer, attracting more than a million professionals, from actors to copywriters, drivers and costume makers.
In 2016, our filmmakers visited Lagos to see what filmmaking in Nigeria looks like, one of them was even offered a small part. Check it out here - https://youtu.be/TwndzdsRl8Y

A Vietnamese man buries aborted children
#video#Vietnam
Phuc Tong is a local hero in Nha Trang, Vietnam. He picks up aborted foetuses from hospitals, where they would otherwise be disposed of as trash. Phuc Tong has buried thousands of unborn children in a cemetery he built himself.
Many women in Vietnam don’t want to have babies out of wedlock and choose to end their pregnancies. The country has one of the highest abortion rates in Asia. Phuc Tong also looks for hesitant mothers to convince them to keep their babies. If an expectant mother can’t take care of a child, Phuc Tong raises it as his own.
His quest to save babies began as a pact he made with God during his wife’s difficult delivery. He promised himself that if his wife and their child survived, he would help others in need.

Exploited by Tradition
#video#Indonesia
East Java, Indonesia has an ancient tradition with a dark secret.
Young boys here are sent to live with grown men called a waroks, who are believed to possess magical powers. But in exchange for their gift, waroks can’t be involved with women. That’s why they employ servant boys like Pak Dirman, who was sent to live with a man when he was 12.
Though it isn’t openly talked about, it’s understood that, besides household chores, this ‘service’ may include the fulfilment of sexual desires.
Proponents defend the practice, saying it’s merely an archaic tradition that appeared before such behaviour was considered inappropriate. They argue that only willing children are sent to join waroks.
Others see it as a clear cut case of child sex abuse.

World’s dirtiest river
#video#Indonesia
When we look at the Citarum River, our level of eco-anxiety skyrockets. The Indonesian river is a main waterway for some 20 million people who live along its banks. However, over 2,000 factories and other industrial facilities have turned it into a giant septic tank. In some places, where toxic waste is dumped, you can see the water turning black. But it’s not just industrial waste; locals dump their household waste and sewage straight into the Citarum. At the same time, the river remains the only source of water for 4,000 rice fields and millions of households. The locals scratch a living by collecting recyclable garbage from the river.
