Dedicated to films between documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism.

A Siberian mother-of-three finds herself under the aggressive scrutiny of the Russian authorities when she steps up as a citizen journalist and uncovers a huge coal scandal. A revealing journalistic thriller with deep personal consequences.
Can’t Feel Nothing
An eye-opening film about numbness in the age of social media. The diagnosis is alarming, but it is made with understated humour and energy by director David Borenstein, himself a screen zombie in digital rehab.
Daughter of Genghis
A seven-year odyssey through Mongolia's underworld with nationalist gang leader, hardcore feminist and single mum Gerel, who wears a black balaclava and fights for a racially pure Mongolia and to look after her son Temuulen.
Democracy Noir
Three brave women are fighting to expose the corruption and incremental destruction of democracy in Viktor Orbán's Hungary - a white nationalist regime that is the envy of authoritarian movements around the world.
Lie To Me
They promised a digital revolution of the financial market. It all turned out to be one of the biggest scams in history, but 10 years and countless scandals later, OneCoin is still in action. A docu-thriller about psychology and manipulation in a crypto-age.
Limits of Europe
A Czech journalist goes undercover in the European market for cheap labour. But documenting the outrageous conditions and social inequality on her own body while her family waits for her to return home comes at a personal cost.
Night of the Coyotes

Stray Bodies
Involuntary body related travelling is on the rise in Europe, with women crossing EU borders to reclaim the right to their own bodies. Abortion and artificial insemination are just two items on the list in a film that maps the continent.
The Battle for Laikipia
Drought, politics and colonial history collide in a stormy and unpredictable conflict between Kenyan cattle herders and white ranchers in the vast African country. A complex and wise film about the consequences of climate change.
Union
