2023, marks the 50th Anniversary of the military coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile. The dictator took power – and kept i t – with the support of democracies i ncluding the United Kingdom and the United States, through the use of terror & sadistic torture. The West chose to look the other way. This documentary will reveal the shocking depth of that support, using archive footage, expert analysis & personal accounts of torture, and declassified government files to tell the story of Pinochet’s uprising, the brutal regime he led, and the Western allies who enabled it all.

Hitler would be the fallen angel, the devil, the man who hypnotized and horrified an entire people and plunged the whole world into war. Alone, the Führer would have decided and planned everything. 0:00 🇩🇪 Hitler's image as an infallible genius was a myth; he was a dilettante who did not like intellectual effort. He surrounded himself with a network of collaborators, including Hermann Goering, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler. 10:36 🔥 Hitler recruits his closest allies and assigns them important roles in the Nazi party. 21:25 🔥 Joseph Goebbels rises to power as Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and orchestrates the persecution of Jews in Germany. 32:56 💥 Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, successfully completes the construction of the future chancellery of the Reich in just one year, impressing Hitler and solidifying his position as one of Hitler's most influential advisors. 43:08 ⚠️ Hitler prepares for war and the Nazis begin their conquest of Europe, while Himmler oversees the implementation of the Holocaust. 53:46 🔍 Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz, and Dr. Joseph Mengele, who conducted medical experiments, were key figures in the atrocities committed at the camp. 1:02:14 😮 Goering's disagreement with Hitler, Speer's miracle of doubling armament production, and Goebbels' efforts to rally the German people. 1:13:39 🔥 The collapse of the Reich is imminent as the Allies invade Normandy and Margit, a Jewish girl in hiding in Berlin, hears news of an assassination attempt on Hitler. 1:23:40 💀 The Nuremberg Trials result in the condemnation of Nazi war criminals, with Hermann Goering choosing to commit suicide rather than be hanged, and Albert Speer successfully portraying himself as ignorant of the Holocaust.

Description
After the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the US Navy shifted their focus to regaining control of the Pacific. In 1942, they emerged victorious in the Coral Sea and Midway battles against the Japanese. Meanwhile, the German airforce continued their bombing campaign on UK cities in the Baedeker Raids.
Beneath the surface of the ocean exists an incredibly hostile world - an icy world immersed in eternal darkness where the pressure is phenomenal. This world is the abyssal domain - the largest habitat on our planet. Yet, some air-breathing, young-feeding marine mammals, like us, spend much of their time in this dark world. Scientists are now discovering that the depths reached by these ocean giants are much greater than previously thought. Using transmitter beacons worn by the animals, abyssal cameras and 3D scan images, this film accompanies and illustrates a contemporary scientific revolution. Constructed according to a dramatic progression towards the abyss - from the shallowest to the deepest dive - it brings to the forefront the often unknown animals and their remarkable physiological adaptations to the pressures of the great depths.

In the North West of Vietnam, the Quan Hoa mountains. It is one of the poorest and most isolated regions of Vietnam. Here, the majority of peasants survive on less than a dollar a day. However, this province has an inexhaustible wealth, bamboo ... Vietnam's green gold. Some of these bamboos are transported by raft ... A makeshift boat, assembled in a few hours, sets off on the "Luong" river, to join the "Song Ma", Vietnam's third largest river. This region is also the only one in the country where the roads are not all paved. During the rainy season, which lasts almost three months, part of the trade is paralyzed. Even 4x4s or trucks quickly give up taking them… The only machine capable of traveling on these tracks, the “Tuk Tuk”. But in Vietnam, the king of transport is the motorcycle. It's almost a religion. In the country there are more than 40 million motorcycles. Director: Daniel Lainé
In the midst of WWII, Catholics looked to the pope to guide them. Hitler had already begun secretly launching his plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Secretly, that is, to most- except Pope Pius XII. The pope remained silent whilst the rest of the world awaited any kind of grand gesture or speech condemning Hitler’s atrocities. He chose to keep quiet in the face of the crimes committed by the Nazis throughout Europe, crimes that even took place below the Pope’s own windows, like the 1943 liquidation of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome, to which the pope made no official reaction. At first glance, Nazism and Catholicism are diametrically opposed. The Vatican even seems an institution beyond all suspicion. The Church, however, faced in turn with the rise of Nazism, the Second World War and the extermination of Jews, will play an ambiguous – at times unholy – role. Several men of the Church, priests and bishops, being fervent admirers of Hitler, even fell into complicity… Director: JULIETTE DESBOIS
The Incas did not leave any written word. The only testimony comes from the first conquistadores who collected the natives’ tales. Successors, among others, to brilliant civilisations preceding them, the Incas were originally a small tribe from the Quechua region on the bank of Lake Titicaca, between Peru and Bolivia. They are part of a confederation of several groups, occupying at first a subordinate rank. The confederation relied on two clans, the Hanan detaining political power, and the Hurin, the military power of which the Incas were part of. This shared power explains the Inca group’s rise to power by force. It is only in during the mid-14th century that the Incas create a state bearing their name. Cuzco was the Inca capital for a long time, being the crossroads of the trans-Andean economical axis. It died down when economical activity turned towards Lima. Machu Pichu is the ancient Inca city, dating back to the 15th century, perched on a rocky headland on the eastern central Andes. Listed since 1983 on the UNESCO’s world heritage sites, it is also one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Looking at the Incas’ daily lives, their rites and religious cults, we will explore the mystery and legends of this lost civilisation. Why human sacrifices, why gold is the Inca’s symbolic metal, why worship the Sun? In this documentary we will attempt to solve these questions, with the help of experts on Latin America: Jean-Francois Bouchard, Patrice Lecoq and Carmen Bernand. 2015 / 52 minutes HD (this documentary is subtitled) Directed by Jacques VICHET
