The Hashemite Dynasty | From Mecca to Amman: Reinventing a Dynasty

The Hashemite Dynasty. Jordan’s Hashemite monarchy—exiled from Mecca, forged inside colonial borders, and battered by wars and refugee waves—has survived for a century by mastering one ruthless skill: adapting fast enough to keep the state functional when the region isn’t.

God Bless America: How the US Is Obsessed with Religion | ENDEVR Documentary | Reupload

Jan 23, 2022 | Despite being an officially secular country, religion is everywhere in the United States. 70% of Americans are Christians and the majority of them voted for Trump. Evangelicals mobilized in their masses to get Donald Trump elected and they similarly geared up to do the same in the most recent election. Evangelicals have even created their own Bible-themed attractions, boldly rewriting the science books to educate their children. In Kentucky, an actual-size Noah’s ark has been built along with a museum that supports the theory that the universe was created in just six days. In this documentary, we dive into the religious world inside the United States.

Inside Oklahoma: Welcome to the Most Conservative Bible State | ENDEVR Documentary

Jun 27, 2025 | Located in the heart of the Bible Belt, the most religious area of the United States, Oklahoma is considered to be among the most conservative states in America. Home to the highest number of prisoners sentenced to death in the country, Oklahoma also has some of the strictest abortion laws -and there are more women in prison here than anywhere else in the USA. Furthermore, a great deal of the residents in the state are sceptical of climate change – and they are mostly white, rural and Republican. It is also in Oklahoma, where you can buy a gun at the supermarket.

In the last Presidential election, Donald Trump acquired more than 90% of the votes in various counties in Oklahoma. Travelling across the state, we met a sheriff who calls himself the toughest in the state. For him, strict punishments are the only course of action, even for minor offences. We also followed anti-abortion activists, some of whom advocate the death penalty for women who have abortions, and who also campaign to ban books which promote the rights and representation of the Black or LGBTQ+ community.

We met with staff from the last clinic practicing abortion in Oklahoma – forced to close its doors following the latest anti-abortion laws after being open for fifty years. Now, women seeking an abortion have to drive hundreds of kilometres to neighbouring New Mexico, where it is still legal.

Stasi Files: Inside East Germany’s Secret Police | SLICE | Full Documentary

Feb 18, 2026 | Five letters came to symbolize dictatorship, terror and mass surveillance: STASI. The Staatssicherheit, East Germany’s state security service, employed 100,000 people, relied on nearly 200,000 informants and operated across 16 regional offices with their own prisons, making it one of the largest secret police systems in the Soviet bloc. After the fall of the Berlin Wall more than 30 years ago, the Stasi disappeared, but it left behind 111 kilometres of files, 41 million record cards, 1.4 million photos and countless recordings, many saved from destruction by human rights activists.

Today, historians, journalists and victims continue to examine these archives, including 16,000 sacks filled with millions of torn documents now being reconstructed by hand and with specialized software. These records have revealed the recruitment of minors, the coercion of former Nazis, the use of psychological torture known as “Zersetzung,” and contingency plans for camps designed to detain 80,000 opponents within 24 hours. Through newly uncovered documents, expert analysis, interviews with former officers and testimonies from victims, this film explores the workings and legacy of the most effective secret service in the Communist bloc. It invites viewers to consider how confronting these archives shapes both personal memory and democratic accountability today.

Arson and Deadly Feuds: Australia’s Tobacco Wars | Four Corners Documentary

Mar 3, 2025 | Four Corners investigative journalist Dan Oakes uncovers the secrets of Australia’s black-market tobacco trade in Tobacco Wars.

With illicit cigarettes readily available in cash-only stores and distributed by unmarked vans across the country, this investigation reveals a vast network stretching from Melbourne’s suburban tobacconists to international smuggling routes.

Using concealed cameras and exclusive access to law enforcement, the Four Corners team follows the illicit pipeline, exposing the lucrative industry that is fuelling organised crime while robbing the government of billions in lost revenue.

Tobacco Wars investigates the high-stakes underworld where arson attacks, extortion, and deadly feuds are used to control the illegal cigarette market.

As the government grapples with policy responses and law enforcement agencies struggle to disrupt smuggling syndicates, Tobacco Wars raises urgent questions about the country’s ability to curb this thriving illicit trade.


This is what you get when stupid, fanatical, anti-smoking politicians raise the price of cigarettes so much that smokers refuse to buy licit, government-regulated cigarettes because of extortionate prices and turn to much cheaper, black market cigarettes to enjoy a smoke. This is not good governance; rather, it is stupid, irresponsible governance. It doesn’t bring smoking rates down and it causes violence and gang warfare in the form of turf wars to boot. — © Mark Alexander

The Drugs That Fuelled Nazi’s Blitzkrieg I Pure WW2

Feb 12, 2026 | In 1938, a powerful stimulant called Pervitin was developed in Nazi Germany. Mass-distributed to German troops, the drug became a hidden fuel of the Wehrmacht’s early campaigns. Adolf Hitler himself was not spared: under the care of his personal physician, Theodor Morell, he received frequent injections and drug cocktails. Drawing on archives and testimonies, this film investigates how widespread drug use shaped soldiers’ endurance, decision-making, and leadership, and asks a disturbing question: to what extent were the course of the war and Hitler’s behavior chemically influenced?

How Saudi Arabia Became the World’s Richest Desert Kingdom | Full Documentary

Oct 3, 2025 | Saudi Arabia, once an inhospitable desert crossed only by Bedouin caravans, has become one of the wealthiest and most influential nations on earth. The city of Mecca, already a center on the Incense Route, rose to global importance in the 7th century with the birth of Islam.

This documentary explores the myths, struggles, and turning points that built modern Saudi Arabia.

Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies (2019) | Full Documentary

Vanished by Order: Hitler’s “Night and Fog” Decree.

Jan 15, 2026 | In December 1941, Nazi Germany introduced a policy designed not just to punish resistance, but to erase it entirely. Under Adolf Hitler’s Nacht und Nebel decree — “Night and Fog” — thousands of people across occupied Europe were taken without warning, transported in secret, and removed from all official records. Their families were never told where they were taken. Many never learned whether they were alive or dead.

This documentary traces how the Night and Fog system operated in practice — from midnight arrests in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway, to sealed transports into Germany, to prisons and concentration camps where prisoners were deliberately isolated, denied names, and cut off from the outside world. The goal was not secrecy, but uncertainty. Silence itself became a weapon.

Using survivor testimony, wartime documents, transport records, and post-war investigations, this film reconstructs how the Night and Fog decree was built, why it continued, and what happened to those who vanished inside it. It examines the bureaucratic machinery that allowed people to disappear on paper — and the families left behind who waited for answers that never came.

This is not a story of battlefield combat. It is a story of administration, paperwork, and a system designed to function without witnesses.

The Vichy Regime and the Rise of Nazi Anti-Jewish Laws | SLICE | Full Documentary

Apr 9, 2025 | By June 1940, Nazi Germany had already attacked Norway and Denmark, invaded Belgium and the Netherlands, crossed the Maginot Line and occupied Paris. France was cut in two: north of the demarcation line was the German-occupied zone, to the south was a zone headed by Marshal Pétain, whose seat of government was in the central spa town of Vichy. The Vichy regime very quickly – as early as October 1940 and without pressure from the Germans – passed the first Jewish laws. With the first of these, prefects in the southern zone had the right to lock up foreign Jews and Jewish refugees in camps, to which the Nazi regime deported Jews from the Rhineland and Westphalia. The German minister of foreign affairs had at first planned to deport German Jews to Madagascar, and Heydrich had instructed Eichmann to draw up a plan, but this was rapidly abandoned.

After the French capitulation, Nazi propaganda in which Jews were likened to rats was shown in all cinemas across the continent, from Poland to the English Channel, from Norway to Italy. Winston Churchill’s Britain was still holding out. For the Third Reich, the territories to be conquered lay to the east, in the USSR, which had been its ally since the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact of 1939. According to the German plans, Moscow would fall in a matter of weeks and the Jews would then be deported to Siberia. For Hitler, it was an ideological war. On 21 June 1941, the German armies entered Soviet soil, through the Baltic states and into Ukraine. A series of pogroms followed, like in Kaunas in July 1941. And the Einsatzgruppen, who in 1939 had eliminated the Polish elite, were sent in to hunt down Jews and Communists in the wake of the Wehrmacht, which was advancing at lightning speed. The conquered lands fell under the Nazi jackboot right along the front, and Jewish men aged between 16 and 40 were shot. They had the backing of the army, the military and civilian administrations in the occupied zones. From August 1941, Jewish women and children were also targeted by the Einsatzgruppen and its local collaborators. On 29 and 30 September 1941, they methodically shot 33,000 Jewish men, women and children in the Babi Yar ravine near Kiev.

Hotel Eden - The Story of a German Nazi Hotel in Argentina | Documentary, 1995

Jan 19, 2017 | In La Falda, a small town in central Argentina, you can see the ruin of a luxurious hotel, but nobody would assume that this hotel played the role in German history it did. The hotel founded in 1899 helped the region to prosper and later Hitler to come to power. In the twenties, the famous and rich like the poet Berta Singer, the dancer Isadora Duncan, and the scientist.

Albert Einstein stayed here, while the owners visited Europe and met Adolf Hitler. From 1929, the hotel supported the NSDAP and even after it was closed down in 1945, it was used as a hiding place for persecuted fascists.

Nowadays, within the community of La Falda, people are arguing what to do with the ruins. Some want to demolish it while others want to host a museum and a cultural centre in it.

The filmmaker Cuini Amelio Ortiz, born in La Falda and now living in Germany, tells the story of the hotel in a fictional and documentarian style, moving somewhere between legend and reality; showing that German history left its traces in South America and how the fate of the inhabitants of La Falda is knitted together to Hitler’s Germany.

Germany 1933: The Rise of Hitler and the Persecution of the Jewish People | SLICE | Full Documentary

Feb 5, 2025 | Germany, 1933. Adolf Hitler, at the head of the Nazi Party, has just become Chancellor and is faced with leading a republic in the throes of economic crisis and rampant inflation. He used the cult of personality nurtured by his propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, who spread the Nazi’s xenophobic and anti-Semitic ideology which Hitler had been touting since the First World War and which he reiterated in Mein Kampf: the Jews, he claimed, were part of an international conspiracy against Germany.

He would use the power of the German state, which had become the Third Reich in 1934, to progressively exclude the 600,000 German citizens of Jewish origin from society, first by forcing them to emigrate, then annihilating them.

Physical violence against Jews became widespread from the summer of 1935, the growing number of exactions leaving German society largely indifferent. Meanwhile, in the interior ministry, Nazis lawyers defined what it meant to be Jewish, thereby identifying who should be excluded. The Nuremberg laws of September 1935 notably withdrew German nationality from the country’s Jews.

On 12 March 1938, the Third Reich annexed Austria without encountering any opposition, and without the slightest reaction on the part of Western democracies. Eichmann set up a central bureau to force Austria’s 100,000 Jews to emigrate, leaving behind all their possessions which were seized by the Reich.

But Western democracies were not prepared to welcome the refugees, and the Evian conference, initiated in July 1938 by US president Franklin Roosevelt, was doomed to failure. As a neutral country bordering Germany, Switzerland called for the passports of Jews fleeing the Reich to be stamped with a “J”, so it could refuse them entry for fear of them wishing to stay in the country.

Vichy and the Nazis: A Deal with the Devil I SLICE History | Full Documentary

Jul 28, 2024 | Summer 1942: A real manhunt took place in Paris, then in occupied France, and even in the ‘zone libre’ (free zone). Close to 80 000 Jews were rounded-up and deported to the concentration camps. Almost none of them ever returned. Without the help of the French authorities and police, these operations carefully planned by the Nazis would never have existed.

How did the Vichy regime collaborate with the Nazi dictatorship in order to send it 79 convoys of men, women and children? Thanks to immersive re-enactments and archives footage for some unpublished, this film delves into the last elements revealed by historical research to make us live, from the inside, these waves of massive and violent arrests. One of the darkest episodes in history that still remains little-known.

Before the Great Recession, “The Warning” | Full Documentary

Jan 27, 2026 | Long before the economic meltdown in the U.S. that led to the Great Recession, one woman tried to raise the alarm about the threat to the financial system.

“The Warning” unearthed the hidden history of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression in the United States. Brooksley Born spoke for the first time on television about her failed campaign to regulate the secretive, multitrillion-dollar derivatives market whose crash helped trigger the financial collapse in the fall of 2008.

“We didn’t truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market,” said Born, who was the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency — the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC]. Born not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country’s key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis.

The documentary also revealed an intense battle among high-ranking members of former President Bill Clinton’s administration and uncovered a concerted effort not to regulate the emerging, highly complex, and lucrative derivatives markets, which became a ticking time-bomb within the American economy.



It is rather shocking to me that a man as clever as Alan Greenspan was considered to be was such a devotee of Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand was an émigrée from the Soviet Union. She had very extreme, laissez-faire ideas which were verging on the anarchic. That Alan Greenspan, known as ‘The Wizard’ because of his superior understanding of economics, couldn’t see through Ayn Rand’s cranky theories is enigmatic, to say the least. — © Mark Alexander
