Reduce, reuse, recycle. Kanittha ‘Cook’ Thongnaki from Thailand has come up with an unconventional way to fight clothing waste. She gives the clothes of dead peoples’ clothes new life. Cook sells items donated from relatives of the deceased or Buddhist monasteries in her online store.
But the main twist is that Cook dresses as a Zombie to add a shock value to her business. Surprisingly, her home town embraced the idea. ‘Don’t be scared,’ Cook urges. All her clothes go through a ritual cleansing ceremony. They are also very cheap.
Clothes that can’t be reused turn into custom ghost-like dolls.
Do you also hate when good clothes go to waste?

Life in the Shaolin Kung Fu school
#video #China
Kung fu, or wushu, is a popular sport and an essential part of Chinese culture. There are still dozens of kung fu boarding schools in the country.
The daily grind in the schools is harsh. Discipline is key in studying traditional martial arts, so children train from dawn till dusk and manage to squeeze in some studies too.
Parents don’t come often, and students learn to be self-reliant. Life in the kung fu school sounds hard, so why do parents send their children away? Find out in our documentary, Little Miss Kung Fu.

Dr Erik is also one of the few allowed to visit the isolated Zo’e tribe. The Zo’e came in contact with outsiders only in the late 1980s. They soon started to fall ill from diseases they had never been exposed to.
Dr Erik has been paying them visits deep in the Amazon rainforest to check their health for 20 years. Now it’s not just infectious viruses that threaten the Zo’e; pressure is mounting from mining companies, illegal logging and fires.

Marijuana Victims
#video #USA
Marijuana legalisation has been making strides in the US since Colorado became the first state to legalise recreational pot in 2012. It’s become more socially acceptable. In 2020, an estimated 3.43 million used recreational cannabis in the US. But the cannabis they’re consuming is far more potent than joints passed around at Woodstock. Cannabis has become a lucrative business claiming lives.
Johnny Stack was only 19 when he took his own life. His parents blame recreational marijuana that flooded Colorado’s many marijuana shops in various forms. Johnny used marijuana since the age of 14, abusing high-THC concentrates, such as wax, oil and shatter.
‘It was the only way he knew how to end this pain,’ says Johnny’s mother, Laura. She and other opponents of marijuana legalisation speak out in our new documentary. Tune in for the premiere right now!
Let us know what’s your stance on recreational cannabis in the comments!

My two wives
#video #Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, some men take more than one wife. The second and subsequent wives are called ‘tokal’. They are usually younger than the first wife, known as ‘baibishe’. Even though polygamy is technically illegal in the country, it’s a widespread practice, and it’s gathering pace again.
‘It’s up to you whether to introduce your tokal to baibishe. But bring both on vacation’, says a commercial for a popular flights finder. For many men, polygamy is about status. Kanishbek is one of them. He’s 57 and has two wives - one lives in Almaty and the other in Nur-Sultan. Kanishbek is actively searching for more younger women who could give birth to more children.
Learn more about his story and polygamy in Kazakhstan in our documentary, Tokal. And let us know what you think of polygamy in the comments! Would you agree to a polygamous family?

#video #USSR
Thirty years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev announced his resignation as Soviet president on state TV. The Soviet flag was lowered for the last time at the Kremlin, and the USSR was no more.
In the 1980s, Mikhail Gorbachev launched his flagship policies of Perestroika and Glasnost to transform the country and pull it out of stagnation. Instead, it only worsened the shortages and unleashed a wave of criticism. Gorbachev is widely revered in the West but is often criticised at home for ending the Soviet Union.
You can learn more about the dramatic events that unfolded in 1991 before Gorbachev’s resignation speech in our documentary here.

Devonia Inman walked out of prison this week having served 23 years for a murder he didn’t commit. Devonia was 20 when he was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of Donna Brown, a Taco Bell night manager. She was killed in the restaurant’s parking lot and robbed of $1,732.
No physical evidence linked Devonia to the murder. Three of four witnesses in his trial eventually recounted their testimony. Devonia always maintained his innocence. Years after the trial, new DNA evidence in the case surfaced. This year Devonia was given a new trial.
His story is similar to that of Jerome Morgan who spent 20 years in the notorious Angola Prison after a false conviction. RT Documentary made a series about Americans who say they were wronged by the criminal justice system.

Europe’s football hooligans
#video #Germany
Two walls of tough men stand on opposite sides, ready to clash in a brutal melee. The fight takes just a few minutes and members of the defeated side lie on the ground and cling to their wounds and bruises. It’s not a medieval fight, but a stand-off between rival gangs of football hooligans. For them ’it feels like being in a movie’.
Modern football hooliganism originated in England in the 1960s, when working-class football fans organised into gangs, known as ‘firms’. Now they are all over Europe, from Sweden to Greece. Hooligans are seen as the most fanatical followers of their football clubs, but the love of the fight often seems to outweigh the love of the game.
Many hooligans admit they like the sense of brotherhood and the buzz. They train, arrange fights with rival gangs and vent all their rage and violence on rivals. If you’d like to know more about the culture of football violence, check out our hit documentary.

Foster child abandoned twice
#video #Russia
Yulia is a cheeky little girl who’s been betrayed twice in her life. She lived her early life in a children’s home for children with mental and physical disabilities in southern Russia. Yulia was finally taken to live with a family but soon began having tantrums and aggressive behaviour. The process was too overwhelming and emotional for her adoptive mother, who couldn’t handle the challenge. So she put Yulia back in a children’s home.
Adoption isn’t easy - it takes both children and parents time to work through past traumas. The documentary, My Forever Family, features the story of Yulia and her adoptive mother, showing the heartbreaking and challenging part of adoption.
Check it out to find out why special needs children need more attention, patience and resources. While there are no precise numbers, it’s estimated almost ten percent of adoptions fail.

These are two guises of Estanislao Laime from Bolivia. Don Laime is a farmer who owns dozens of llamas. He is also a shaman, known as a Yatiri. Locals come to Estanislao for advice on making money or getting healthy.
But as a Yatiri, Estanislao has more responsibilities, including bringing the rain. Water is of great value in this arid region, home to the world largest salt flat. Everyone at the Salar de Uyuni looks forward to the rainy season at the end of December and lasts till March. Yatiris ask local spirits to bring the rain. The ceremony that Estanislao performed worked - the rain started in the Salar de Uyuni the day after the RT Documentary crew filmed the Yatiri.

Older white women searching for love on Kenya’s beaches
#Kenya
These young men all have much older ‘girlfriends’ from Europe. Coastal Kenya is a popular destination for sex tourists from around the world who come in search of sexual relationships with local boys and girls.
Local sex workers are known as beach boys because they gather at the beach looking for potential partners. Many of them got into the sex tourism industry as young as ten. In return for sexual relationships, their European girlfriends provide them with money and presents. Juma, 19, got his motorcycle from a woman he slept with.
Finding a white woman is often the fastest way to get out of poverty for many families. Some even encourage their children to skip school and look for tourists who can care for family needs.
RT Documentary’s Oleg Nekishev and Dmitry Khrustalev are working on a documentary about Kenya’s beach boys. Stay tuned for the premiere; it’s going to be interesting!
