Eternal Life? The Secrets of the Centenarians | DW Documentary
April 20, 2026 | In the villages on Sardinia's east coast, people live longer than almost anywhere else in the world. But why? Is it due to nutrition? The good weather? Or genetics? Scientists around the world are attempting to solve the mystery.
91-year-old Antonangelo leads a busy life. Every morning, he goes to milk his flock of sheep and later, turns that milk into cheese. "Work is my life, if I stop, I'll die,” says Antonangelo. Like many Sardinians in the mountain regions, he and his wife eat almost exclusively local produce. Their recipes for a long life are exercise and healthy food.
Giuseppino is already 100 years old and still manages most of the steep paths in his home village of Villagrande on foot. Is the strenuous hillside location the secret of his longevity? Giuseppino's family takes care of him, but he still lives alone in his flat and is bursting with energy. For him, a positive attitude and a sense of humor are key to a long life.
Despite a good deal of research, the secrets of the Blue Zones still haven’t been fully explained. But one study from the region does concludes that genetics play an important role in the first half of life. For 91-year-old Carolina, it’s clear that an intact family is a prerequisite for a long life. She has no intention of going into an old people's home. For her, the most important thing is for a mother to grow old with her children. And traditional food preparation is still one of her favorite pastimes.

Steve Jobs and the Apple Story - From Rebel to Tech Titan | DW Documentary
August 5, 2026 | As Apple turns 50, this film tells the story of the tech company that revolutionized our world, along with its opportunities and downsides. Has this tool of liberation become an instrument of control?
Founded 50 years ago, Apple grew from a counterculture movement into a global corporation. The film looks back at the breathtaking rise of headstrong visionary Steve Jobs, who never gave up on his dream despite fierce competition, his destructive perfectionism and even his ousting from his own company.
Colleagues and companions shine light on the expertise behind Apple: designer Hartmut Esslinger created Apple's legendary 'Snow White' design language, and typographer Erik Spiekermann developed ground-breaking typefaces. People like Daniel Kottke, a former flat mate of Steve Jobs and one of the first Apple employees, share insights into the inner workings of the legendary team. Andy Cunningham, who was sacked by Jobs a total of five times, also weighs in.

Cuba Could Collapse. Here’s What Trump Wants. • FRANCE 24 English
Augist 3, 2026 | After Venezuela and Iran, could Cuba be Donald Trump’s next target?
As the island endures its worst crisis in decades, Washington is hardening its stance and imposing further sanctions.
Is this merely political posturing, or part of a genuine strategy by the US president?
How far are the United States prepared to go?
CORRECTION: Marco Rubio was NOT born in Cuba! Marco Rubio was born in Miami, Florida to Cuban parents, who emigrated to the USA before the Cuban Revolution. “Official naturalisation papers and immigration records confirm that his parents, Mario and Oriales Rubio, were admitted for permanent US residence on May 27, 1956.
Because they left prior to the Revolution, they originally moved to the US as economic immigrants seeking a better life rather than being political refugees escaping communism.
While they emigrated before the Revolution, Marco Rubio has historically maintained that communism ultimately defined their lives. His mother and siblings briefly returned to Cuba in 1961 to see if moving back was viable. After experiencing the realities of Castro's newly established communist regime, they quickly fled back to the United States permanently, preventing them from ever returning home.
Rubio has frequently stated that he will not visit his ancestral homeland while it remains under a communist dictatorship. He vows to only travel there once Cuba is a free and democratic nation.”
NB: “While he has never visited the Republic of Cuba, he did make a single official congressional trip to the island in May 2012. However, this visit was strictly limited to the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, which is a sovereign US military installation and completely isolated from the rest of the country.” [Source: Google AI]

The Day Argentina Fell to Dictatorship: March 24, 1976
August 1, 2026 | On March 24, 1976, Argentina's military seized power by force and removed President Isabel Perón from office. Juan Perón's third wife had fallen out of favor with conservative sectors that considered her incapable of guaranteeing the country's stability.
The junta that took control set out to impose what it called a "National Reorganization Process." Its leaders were Jorge Rafael Videla, Emilio Eduardo Massera and Orlando Ramón Agosti, who cast themselves as defenders of "Western and Christian civilization." But their patriotism and faith did not prevent them from launching a campaign of state terror under which tens of thousands of their fellow citizens were detained, tortured, and killed.
This is the story of how Argentina's military dictatorship began and the brutal campaign that would become known as the "Dirty War." From the coup that promised order to the systematic violence that followed, we examine one of Latin America's darkest chapters and its lasting impact on Argentine society.

From Allies to Enemies: How Decades of Tension Led to War | Featured Documentary
August 1, 2026 | Spanning more than seven decades, Iran: The Making of War examines how one of the most consequential conflicts of the modern era came to be.
Beginning with the CIA-led coup in 1953 that led to the removal of Mohammad Mosaddegh, the film traces the transformation of Iran from a Western-aligned monarchy under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to the Iranian revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
As relations with the United States collapse after the Iranian hostage crisis, a parallel rivalry intensifies with Israel.
Through the decades that follow, a conflict defined by proxy wars, covert operations and disputes over Iran’s perceived nuclear ambitions emerges. Iran: The Making of a War explores how these tensions escalated into direct confrontation - and the serious and dangerous regional and global implications.
Using archive material, expert analysis and accounts from various perspectives, the documentary presents a measured, chronological examination of competing strategies and fears that have shaped the conflict.
Rather than assigning blame, this film asks a central question: how did a relationship once defined by cooperation evolve into a confrontation, with thousands of lives lost, a devastating impact on the Middle East, and the threat of collapsing the entire global economy as well as the world order as we know it.

Thirty Years of War in God’s Name I SLICE History | Full Documentary
July 26, 2026 | In 1979, religion returned to the center of global politics. From the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to the rise of Ronald Reagan, the election of Pope John Paul II, and the growing symbolic weight of Jerusalem, a new era began to take shape.
Across East and West alike, political leaders, militants, and regimes started using faith not as private belief, but as a force of history.
This documentary traces the moment when religion re-entered the geopolitical battlefield and began to reshape alliances, revolutions, and wars. As old Cold War ideologies lost their monopoly, a new political language emerged, one that would transform the Middle East, unsettle the global balance of power, and leave a lasting mark on the decades that followed.

Homosexuality: The Underside of Conversion Therapies | Full Documentary
Nov 18, 2023 | Accepting one’s homosexuality for an American today ought to be simple? And yet, it is not so straightforward! 700,000 young people in the United States have already undergone so-called conversion therapies, intended to "cure" their homosexuality.
Run by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, these therapies promise to fix a supposedly "deviant sexual orientation" and to change a person’s inner identity.
Through social, familial, and religious pressure, Mathew, Jordan, and Lucas all signed up for these therapies and went through hell: Isolation, sequestration, humiliation, food deprivation, physical and psychological violence.
Today, a political combat is underway to halt these therapies and to acknowledge the victims. This is likely to be a long process, given that such practices are still allowed in 41 states and have the backing of the Trump administration.

Argentina: Inflation Crashes, Poverty Rises, Inside Javier Milei's Revolution | Documentary - JV
Even though I have no crystal ball, as an economics major, I will make a prediction (which I have made before)… This reckless experiment in anarcho-capitalism will end in tears. It will fail. This is not what I wish for the Argentinian people. They deserve better. But I cannot see how this radical experiment can possibly work. Time might prove me wrong, of course; but I doubt it. — © Mark Alexander

Cuba After Castro: The Island in the Crosshairs | Feature Documentary
Premiered Jun 23, 2026 | From directors Abby Martin and Matt Belen, Cuba After Castro delivers the definitive portrait of Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba’s first leader born after the Revolution. Through this unprecedented in-depth interview we see a vision of revolutionary Cuba suppressed in the west: a nation of collective values and defiance in the face of constant threats from the United States.
The film chronicles Diaz-Canel’s formation as an unexpected successor to the Castros — an unassuming organizer molded by the revolutionary process. Confronting a perfect storm of intensified U.S. sanctions, a media war, a devastating pandemic, and historic domestic protests. Díaz-Canel reflects on navigating these existential crises for the nation he has come to lead.

Worse Than Nazi Prison: "The Auschwitz for Homosexuals"
July 19, 2026 | This documentary explores the persecution of gay men under Nazi Germany and the devastating impact of Paragraph 175 during the Second World War.
Once home to one of the world's most vibrant LGBTQ communities, Germany saw decades of progress swept away after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. What followed was a systematic campaign of arrests, imprisonment, and persecution that affected tens of thousands of men across the Third Reich.
The film examines the destruction of Berlin's famous Eldorado nightclub, the closure of Magnus Hirschfeld's pioneering Institute for Sexual Science, and the expansion of Paragraph 175, which enabled the Nazi regime to prosecute an ever wider range of relationships between men.
It also explores the role of Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo, and the SS in enforcing these policies, as well as the experiences of those imprisoned in concentration camps under the pink triangle.
Drawing on survivor testimony, wartime records, and historical research, this documentary follows the stories of men such as Josef Kohout, whose memoir became one of the earliest personal accounts of life as a homosexual prisoner in the Nazi camp system.
It also examines the medical experiments conducted by SS doctor Carl Værnet, the continued persecution of gay men after 1945, and the long struggle for recognition that continued decades after the fall of the Third Reich.
The documentary also highlights acts of courage and resistance, including Dutch artist Willem Arondeus, who fought against Nazi occupation despite the risks he faced as a gay man. His story stands alongside those of thousands whose lives were shaped by persecution, discrimination, and resilience.
Through historical documents, survivor testimony, and archival evidence, this film offers a balanced examination of one of the least discussed aspects of World War II and the Holocaust, while exploring the legacy of memory, justice, and human rights that continues to resonate today.

These religious freaks are cruel and ignorant. Homosexuality is not a choice; rather, it is innate. One is born with such proclivities. The environment and circumstances one is raised in also have their part to play in determining a person’s sexual orientation. The gay cannot be prayed away. Conversion therapy is destined to fail. The best that it can achieve is the suppression of homosexual tendencies. But that in itself is extremely damaging to one’s mental and physical health. In a civilized society, these practices should be outlawed. Being gay is very natural. If it weren’t, why on earth would it be present in the animal kingdom? Americans need to be enlightened. They are living in darkness. — © Mark Alexander

Exploring the Science behind Homo and Heterosexuality | SLICE Science | Full Documentary
Jun 13, 2026 | Natural selection predisposes us to heterosexuality and reproduction. A portion of the population thinks this is a choice or a decision. But not only. Since several years science interrogates the roots of sexual orientation, homo and hetero. Have we really a choice?
The spectacular advances in research on the human genome, coupled with recent studies on the effects of hormones on behavior, upsets conventional viewpoints on our sexual behaviors, and control of them by our brain. Science has discovered quite recently that biological factors are themselves influenced by the environment, and individual history. This is new and fundamental scientific data.
This document brings new light on the diversity of sexual behaviors, which are not specifically human, since some 450 animal species have been identified as being at least partially bisexual.
Homosexuality is not the mental illness of yesterday, nor the genetic defect of tomorrow; it is simply a natural variant of one of our basic biological characteristics, our sexual orientation.

Bashar El Assad: Power or Death
Dec 8, 2024 | This is the story of a man with two faces. The timid Doctor Bashar, who has long seduced the West and promised to move his country towards more democracy. And the terrible Mister Assad, dictator, who fights his own people in a civil war with hundreds of thousands of victims.
The terrible Mister Assad, dictator who fights his own people Thanks to the testimonies of his relatives and former executives of the regime, the film tells the rise of a man who was not supposed to be president, and deciphers a system that resembles that of the Mafia. With its godfathers, its settling of scores, and its billions in dirty money. Bashar El-Assad received Syria as an inheritance from his father, Hafez El-Assad. He is the one who built this iron dictatorship that has held the country for nearly 50 years. The film also explores the passionate ties that unite France and Syria. Leading French political figures, former ministers and diplomats, take us behind the scenes of this tumultuous relationship. A relationship that the story of Bashar El-Assad perfectly symbolises. French presidents Jacques Chirac and then Nicolas Sarkozy initially considered him a valuable ally and rolled out the red carpet for him. Before bitterly regretting it.
