Краткое содержание
A documentary following the efforts of Earnestine Smith, an 80-year old American, to return to Liberia in order to rebuild her life following the devastation of the Liberian civil war.
Родители братьев Орловых, старшего Юрия и младшего Виталия, покинули Украину и обосновались в Америке, на Брайтон-Бич, где открыли маленький ресторанчик. Дети же не рвались идти по родительским стопам. Юрий, раздумывая, чем заниматься, пришел к выводу: самое выгодное - торговать оружием. Потому что в мире, переполненном агрессией, оружие никогда не бывает лишним. Оно нужно и родственникам, дерущимся друг с другом, и конкурирующим бандам, и враждующим государствам. Юрий Орлов, опираясь на младшего брата Виталия, быстро завоевывает свое место под солнцем и надеется в скором времени стать таким же крутым «продавцом смерти», как его кумир Симеон Вайс. Но чем выше поднимается Юрий, тем ближе к нему подбирается агент Интерпола Джек Валентайн...

When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa's first ever elected female head of state, filmmakers Siatta Scott-Johnson and Daniel Junge were there to follow her. It was the start of an extraordinary year they spent with the Liberian president as she struggled to take control of a country devastated by years of civil war. Together with her 'iron ladies' (the finance minister and police chief are also formidable females), she takes a firm hold on the government, trying to root out corruption and spend the tiny annual budget carefully. But it is not an easy task, and everything seems to be against her - even her presidential mansion burns down. (Storyville)
‘What do you want?’ asks the trade union leader, to which the men respond as if with one voice: change! Life is hard work on Liberia’s rubber plantations and wages are meagre.

Чукотские оленеводы - своеобразные люди. Это кочевники. Олени - это их благосостояние, смысл жизни. Мать-олень - главное божественное существо; он защищает чукчей от несчастий и неприятностей. Природа здесь не дружит с людьми. Только чукчи могут выжить в Тундре. Период пик для чукотских оленеводов происходит зимой, когда температура поднимается до 50 градусов по Цельсию ночью, а в солнечный свет дня она не превышает 40 градусов по Цельсию в тундре: они должны отделять молодых оленей от остальной части стадо, слабое от сильного. И это, учитывая, что стада чукчей-оленеводов насчитывают несколько тысяч голов ...
