THE BIG GAME
Year of production: 2014
The Big Game delves into the world of hidden wars
involving diplomats, spies, military strategists,
and hired assassins from Britain and Russia. For
two centuries, these superpowers have fought an
irreconcilable battle for territory and influence in Asia
and the Balkans. Since the USA joined forces with
Britain, the stakes have been raised. In recent years,
the Americans have made some high-risk moves:
a sequence of colour revolutions, war in Syria, the
reinforcement of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and
the violent unrest in the Middle East. They will
do anything for world domination and economic
prosperity, with the fate of other countries and their
people reduced to mere ‘collateral damage’.

THE ECHO OF
THE VIETNAM WAR
Year of production: 2014
The Vietnam War ended 40 years ago. The
North Vietnamese Army (NVA) had taken
Saigon, the bulwark of the USA in Indochina. It
was a conflict between a super power against
a poor and hungry country. But the NVA had
its own secrets of warfare, and with the help
of North Korea, China and USSR, they fought
back. America lost 60 thousand of its own
soldiers and was forced to accept defeat and
the senselessness of the war in Vietnam.
President Johnson called it “the bloody
dead end.” The film contains new facts
and documents about this cruel conflict.

HOW THEY KILLED
YUGOSLAVIA
Year of production: 2015
The breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 90s
led to the civil war in Bosnia - Herzegovina,
the most violent conflict in Europe since WWII.
In four years 200 thousand people were dead and
2.2 million people became refugees. One of the
most beautiful and stable regions of the Old World
was completely destroyed and covered in blood.
The frightening documentary footage of ethnic
cleansing, religious conflicts, mass murders,
secret concentration camps, economic blockade
and informational war asks the question…
Who lit the fire of the Balkan conflict and why?

THE AFGHAN WAR
Year of production: 2014
Afghanistan is a region that plays a key role in ensuring stability
and exerting influence in Asia...The interests of major world
powers have converged in Afghanistan. From 1979 to 1989,
the Soviet Union waged war here – a war on which thousands
of books have been written, yet not all of the truth has been
revealed. Soviet Army commanders, officers of the Main
Intelligence Directorate of Russia, Afghan mujahideen scouts
and special agents of the CIA, for many years bound to
silence by their duty, talk about the secrets of the Afghan
military campaign. These words about the past have never
been more pertinent for all those concerned with the future
– the future of a world where Afghanistan remains one of
the hot spots to this day...
