Dying Alone

Over the past few decades, the number of Japan seniors living alone has risen sharply. Many of them are dying in

their apartments, only to be discovered weeks or even months later by neighbours alarmed by the smell. Lonely

deaths, or kodokushi, have become so common that companies have even emerged specializing in cleaning up

the apartments of the deceased.

Syrian Tango

When the war started in Syria, people had little time for art. But they where those who decided to fight the

war with art. The message of the Members of the Dare collective is: “If you have a dream, take the first step”.

The Coca Trap

Growing coca leaf is the only way to put food on the table for many in rural Colombia. Coca, which is the base

substance for making cocaine, is the only livelihood they can rely upon. Most Colombia’s coca growers say they

only do it because they have no alternative options and distance themselves from rapacious drug traffickers.

Where Childhood Died

During the war in Syria, children in areas controlled by Islamist groups were involuntarily recruited as

fighters and forced to witness barbaric executions. The Syrian Army has now taken back control, but these

children are still haunted by what they saw, what was done to them, and the brainwashing they received.

My Forever Family

All over Russia, residential homes are filled with thousands of orphaned and abandoned children with mental

and physical disabilities. Many are in remote regions far from proper health care facilities or where there are few

qualified medical staff. All too often the children are unwanted meaning many display challenging behaviour,

which is why doctors, nurses and volunteers from a charity called ‘Road of Life’ visit regional homes. They take

kids who can’t be treated locally to doctors in Moscow and try to find them new homes and families. On one

trip they meet shy teenager, Sasha who's hearing-impaired, and cheeky nine-year-old, Yulia, who has an

orthopaedic condition. The two travel to Moscow with the team for treatment and to find new 'forever' families.

The Philippines’s controversial President Rodrigo Duterte came to power on his promise to crack down on

crime. Dubbed “The Punisher”, he addressed his subjects, encouraging them to kill drug addicts. However,

his inauguration was followed by a wave of extrajudicial killings of alleged drug dealers and now he

denies any involvement with the vigilante violence. A dramatic increase in brutal street executions

coincided with the start of “Project Duterte”, the police programme aimed at “Drug Use and

Trafficking Elimination thru Rehabilitation, Training and Enforcement”, many Filipinos claim they have

lost all trust in the country’s law enforcement.

Like many young men, Bardip fell in love with a girl at college, got married, and settled down to have a

family. However, four years later, he and his parents were murdered by the bride’s relatives, who were

angry that she had married outside her caste and without their consent. Such Nuptials, though legal, are

considered a dark stain on the reputation of parents. Seventy percent of marriages in India are still

arranged and young couples that dare to marry for love risk honor killings, severe beatings, and

kidnappings. The police often do little or are even complicit in these cases.

Sea Life Savers

Europe’s super-trawlers have fished their own waters clean. Now, they have appeared off the coast of

Africa. One West African nation is ready to fight for its fish stocks. The government of Gabon has teamed

up with a militant conservation group called Sea Shepherd, whose members are notorious for employing

extreme tactics to thwart marine poaching. One of the group’s nine ships, the Bob Barker, is now patrolling

the country’s coast with Gabonese soldiers on board. Its crew is seeking, boarding, and inspecting

suspicious looking ships that may be involved in illegal fishing.

Water has become a luxury for the people in the Indian state of Punjab. Thousands of villages here rely on

water deliveries from elsewhere. People have to pay exorbitant prices for water that their state once had

in abundance. Farmers can no longer afford to grow food, their crops are dying and they are left with

enormous debts. The devastation has led many to take their own lives. Meanwhile the authorities turn a

blind eye to the mass suicides.

The Shegué, the Sorcerer and Che Guevara

The population of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is among the poorest on earth. For decades, the

Congolese have been blighted by a chaotic political situation, bloody civil wars and an ailing economy. This

instability has produced thousands of homeless children. Some lose their parents in armed conflicts, others

run away from homes too impoverished to support them. More often than not, they are forced to survive by

begging or stealing in the streets. There is, however, one more reason a child can become homeless here.

A shockingly large number of kids are thrown out of their homes after being accused of witchcraft.

In the conflict-torn Donbass region, medical evacuation teams play a vital role in saving the lives of those

Her War: Women VS ISIS

The town of Serekaniye in Syria is the last major town bordering the “Islamic State”. The mainly Kurdish local

population is determined to fight the murderous ISIS and prevent them from entering their town. The Kurdish

People’s Protection Units (YPG) were formed after the Syrian Army's attempts to combat the jihadist threat

failed. Among its fighters are young women, who chose to defend themselves and their families from the

belligerent invaders. RTD visits a YPJ female training camp to learn about these courageous young women

and to see how they train to face the enemy.

Back to Sleepy Hollow, Kazakhstan

Deep in the countryside of Kazakhstan lies a sleepy, little rural village called, Kalachi. In this case though,

the word, “sleepy” is much more than a quaint, idyllic description, it’s literal! The settlement made

international headlines because of an inexplicable “sleeping sickness” that has affected its residents for

over three years and prompted RT Doc’s first visit, in December, 2014. The search for a cause revealed

nothing, so several villagers seized the opportunity to relocate but others could not bring themselves to

leave their birthplace, despite the health risks. RT Doc pays a second visit to discover that medical

science may now be on the verge of unravelling the slumbering mystery.

Albino Africa

People fear them. They are outcasts, treated with contempt. They are frequently beaten and murdered

simply because they are not like other people. Their skin is a different colour. This is not a film about the

African-American civil rights movement in the mid-20th century. These twenty six minutes tell the story

of those with the misfortune to be born an albino in Africa today.

(Atlantic) Ocean's Eighteen

The Shtandart is a replica of Peter the Great's flagship and has seven working cannons on board.

Its crew is made up of people from different countries, professions and backgrounds. What they all have in

their lives, decided to take a risk and fulfil their dream of a maritime journey. Now they share their

impressions from this extraordinary voyage and explain what life is like on board an 18th-century

tall ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
