Stone therapy for drug addicts
#video #Kyrgyzstan
The Nazaraliev drug rehab centre in Kyrgyzstan has come up with an unconventional way to cure patients from heroin addiction. Addicts get rid of their psychological dependence on drugs by choosing a stone they can confide in and carry it during a 250-kilometre trek through rough terrain. At the end of their journey, patients throw their stone in a large heap formed over the years.
It’s called lithotherapy and it has helped more than 5,000 addicts according to the clinic. Gleb is only 24 and has suffered from addiction for the past five years. His parents sent him to Kyrgyzstan twice. He couldn’t make it through the treatment the first time. Now he’s determined to finish it.

We’re used to men giving jewellery to women, but in Maasai culture, it’s vice versa! Intricate beadwork is an important (and beautiful) pillar of Maasai identity.
All women know how to make pretty necklaces, bracelets, and headbands. A woman’s love is measured by the abundance of jewellery covering her husband’s body.
The craft of beading is one of the Maasai traditions they’ve preserved.

Agent Orange
#video #Vietnam
The Vietnam War ended in 1975, but its horrible impact echoes across generations of Vietnamese. Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City is home to dozens of children born with an array of defects, including missing limbs, abnormal head growths, and severe developmental and mental health disorders. This is because all their ancestors were once exposed to Agent Orange, a potent dioxin-laced defoliant.
The US military used the chemical to clear dense jungle to drive out Vietcong fighters. The US warplanes dropped some 68 million litres of Agent Orange in a decade. It caused cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and disabilities in those immediately exposed.
Children at the Tu Du hospital are ‘in pain’, the medical staff say. Most of the kids are orphans whose parents couldn’t take care of them. It’s a sinister testimony of the Agent Orange legacy in Vietnam. For the entire documentary, click here.

When children from Complexo de Alemao go to school, they know they have first to look left, right, and left again before crossing a road… in case there’s a gunfight between gangsters and police.
Complexo de Alemao is one of Rio’s largest and most visible favelas. It’s a city within a city with its own rules and a source of Brazil’s organised crime. The ongoing war between government forces and gang members has kept residents in the crossfire. Since 2008, the city has established special Pacifying Police Units across Rio’s favelas to make streets safer. However, police have been accused of brutality and lack of accountability.
Peek inside the life in Complexo de Alemao in our documentary, FavelaLive, and find out why people like and are proud of their favela.

#video #Tajikistan
It's hard to find a man in a tiny village of Pinyon in mountainous Tajikistan. All able-bodied men have left to work in Russia to earn five times as much as at home. According to some estimates, up to a million Tajiks leave the country searching for work every year. In the meantime, mothers, wives and sisters are left behind with households to take care of.
Bibi Khamroeva is 57, and she spends six months in the mountains herding cows with other women. They take care of their homes, make cheese and butter and look after children. They wish their men didn't have to work abroad and could help at home.
Tajikistan is the poorest country in Central Asia. It heavily relies on the remittance inflow, with cash transfers making up nearly half of its GDP.

Children of sex tourism
#video #Philippines
In Angeles City in the Philippines, many children have never seen their fathers and probably won’t ever meet them. That’s because their hometown is a sex tourism hotspot and their fathers travelled to buy sex.
Once home to the largest American airbase outside the US, Angeles City in the Philippines is still teeming with foreign men. Children’s faces tell the story of their birth - fair skin, black skin, Caucasian or Korean features. A lot of sex workers are also children of sex tourism.
These are video greetings some of the children in Angeles City recorded during our documentary filming in the hope their estranged fathers might see them.

Wombs for rent
#video #India
In the Akanksha Hospital in Gujarat, pregnant women are waiting to deliver babies. But they won’t take them home once they’re born. So instead, they’re surrogate mothers, primarily poor and having no means to make money. They make $70 for each month of pregnancy and up to $8,000 for a successful surrogacy for one baby. The clinic takes care of the mothers’ living costs.
Since India legalised commercial surrogacy in 2002, the country has become the largest surrogacy hub for childless foreigners. In 2015, surrogacy for foreigners was banned. While commercial surrogacy provided Indian women with opportunities (building a house, starting a small business, paying a dowry), the practice has raised numerous ethical concerns around exploitation, payment, and inequality.
What do you think about commercial surrogacy?

Aviator Girl
#video #Russia
The profession of a pilot was inaccessible for women in Russia till the late 2000s. But once it opened, it became very popular.
Girls fall in love with the sky and enter flying schools regardless of the imminent hardships and busy schedules. Some become acrobatics pilots and surprise the audience by performing deadly stunts; others join civil aviation and fly massive aircraft across oceans or transport people to remote villages and towns. Even being on the brink of an accident or fuelling up the plane in the 30 degrees C frost doesn’t scare them.
So while Katya, an aerobatics pilot, is getting ready for the next competition and practices her dead loops surviving the g-load, Maria works long shifts on her Boeing 737, not knowing when she will make it home.
Tune in for the premiere of Aviator Girl on RT Documentary and learn stories of other girls who joined aviation.

African prostitutes bound by voodoo ‘oath’
#photo
These women ended up working as prostitutes in Europe out of fear of voodoo magic. Their traffickers use voodoo to manipulate victims into swearing obedience to a trafficker or a pimp. As a result, victims are slaving away to pay back thousands of euros they ‘owe’ to traffickers for the flight from Africa and other expenses.
They have a lot of stories to tell, but it’s a challenge to make them talk. Women are afraid that the curse will fall on them and their families should they break the vow. In 2012, the Dutch police even had to bring in a Nigerian priest who lifted a voodoo ‘oath’ so the women could testify in a human trafficking ring case.
These are a few pictures from the shooting of a new documentary by RT Documentary’s Natalya Kadyrova. Stay tuned for the film about the plight of African prostitutes in Europe.

Thousands of migrants have amassed on the Belarus-Poland border. RT’s Konstantin Rozhkov @Spetscorr made a report about the migrant crisis:
‘After a long day shooting on the Belarus-Polish border, I’m going to a hotel in Grodno and see a group of Syrians. They were just refused check-in. So, under the pretext of helping them translate, I am driving around the town with them, searching for a place to sleep for the next couple of hours.
Local taxi drivers are ripping them off ten times the price, but money isn’t the problem for them. A lot of them have the newest iPhones and expensive watches. In 12 hours, these Syrian migrants are going to cross into the EU illegally. All they care about is the situation on the border.
When I ask how they are going to cross the border, they say: ‘ we’ll jump over.’ Are they being naive, or aren’t they saying something? We part ways at around 2 am. The next day Poland arrests more than 200 migrants on the border.’

Bolivia’s child workers
#video #Bolivia
Nadia is a little girl from the suburbs of La Paz. She dreams of becoming a lawyer, but she hardly has time to do her homework. After classes, Nadia has to start her shift at a market. She helps her mum sell eggs and noodles.
In Bolivia, children as young as ten are allowed to work under the controversial Children’s Code. As a result, child vendors and child cleaners are a common sight. They’d love to study more to pursue their dream careers in medicine, academia or finance, but they must support their families now. Ten-year-olds can work for themselves or their families, those older than 12 can work for others.
Critics argued the law effectively legalised child labour. However, kids went out on the streets to protest their right to work when the government planned to raise the minimum working age to 14.
Check out this heartbreaking film featuring legal child workers, as well as underage miners who have to operate outside the law.

Seeing the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights should be on anyone’s bucket list. The multicolour curtains of light have captivated people for thousands of years. Inuit, Norse, Finnish and Icelandic legends describe the most incredible origins of the dancing lights.
However, the most recent myth has driven tourism for an Aurora hunt in Russia’s Murmansk region. According to Chinese superstition, if you conceive under the Northern Lights, it will be a boy. Others believe the Northern Lights baby is in for a happy life. Local businesses endorse the myth and offer rooms with North-facing windows and a transparent roof.

Russian dream
#video #Russia
British trader John Kopiski came to Russia in the 1990s on a business trip that changed his life. ‘After Perestroika, everybody was so hospitable. It was a new life; capitalism hadn’t arrived’. So John jumped at the opportunity to move to Russia at the age of 42 because he felt at home.
John eventually met a Russian woman, converted to Orthodoxy and fathered five children. Together they run a massive farm with more than 4,000 cows in the Vladimir region. They produce 50 tonnes of milk every day, and John has taken up cheese production following EU sanctions against Russia.
‘As an Englishman, I have no loyalty there. I have lots of anger and disappointment,’ John says. Nevertheless, he takes pride in his newfound motherland and says his relatives in the UK don’t get his love for Russia.
Check out John’s extraordinary story in the full documentary here.
