In Guinea Conakry, at the wheel of their truck, Mamady and her sons face torrential downpours which make the track nightmarish. The abundant rains and the 1,300 streams and rivers that run through the country gave it its nickname: the water tower. However, running water is rare in the country and, to have access to it, it is sometimes necessary to install giant cisterns. Transporting these tanks by bush taxi over the rutted tracks is no easy task. After the palm oil harvest, which provides a minimum of income for residents, only motorcycles can transport the precious liquid. Loaded with dozens of cans, they set off on chaotic tracks on which anything can happen.

Monté jusqu'à 4 sur 5 sur l'échelle d'intensité des ouragans, Harvey, s'est renforcé sur son trajet dans le Golfe du Mexique. Le phénomène météorologique extrême a frappé, sur sa route, le Texas aux États-Unis, il a touché terre près de Corpus Christi et longé la côte Atlantique vers Houston, la plus grande ville de l'État avec 3,2 millions d'habitants. Plusieurs zones de Houston ont été inondées pendant plusieurs jours en raison d'une pluie incessante. C'est le plus puissant ouragan à accoster les États-Unis depuis 2005 et Katrina. Il a fait au moins 42 morts et causé des dégâts estimés entre 30 et 100 milliards de dollars.

Set against the harrowing backdrop of the Vietnam War, this story follows the day-to-day lives of young American soldiers and Marines fighting for survival and purpose in a relentless conflict. Amid deadly jungle ambushes, treacherous booby traps, and the heartbreak of civilian suffering, they strive to bring security, hope, and a vision of freedom to a war-torn land.
Through their courage, compassion, and unyielding spirit, these young men embody resilience and sacrifice, navigating a complex war with no clear front lines.
Their journey is a testament to the profound human cost and the enduring question: what is freedom truly worth?

Through the most significant events of his time, we discover the legacy of terror and destruction that Stalin bequeathed to his people.
On March 9, 1953, Joseph Stalin died in Moscow. His funeral was that of a demigod. Last irony of one of the worst criminals in the history of the 20th century, who brought misery to his people while creating a collective admiration. During more than 30 years of absolute rule, millions of people died.
With Stalin's policy the standard of living fell. The poverty of the early 1930s was evident on the streets of Moscow. In his labor re-education camps, better known as the Gulag, he imprisoned 18 million Russians, turning them into slaves. Machiavellian and paranoid, Stalin invented the impeachment trial, where sentences were set before the start of the hearing. He starved 7,000,000 peasants to death as punishment for refusing his revolution. He had fooled the entire world through false propaganda campaigns.
During World War II, Adolf Hitler set out to destroy Stalin. On June 16, 1941, three million soldiers attacked the USSR. The Nazis took over the city of Stalingrad, which was finally liberated by Russian troops in November 1942. In February 1943 the German troops surrendered. With this victory, Stalin became the first leader to defeat Hitler, which gave him the recognition of the international community.
