#video #Japan

At least 3,000 people were used as guinea pigs by Japan’s secret Unit 731 before and during World War II. The unit conducted gruesome experiments on humans in occupied China, infecting test subjects with diseases like plague and cholera. They were later vivisected without anaesthesia to see what the disease does.

Unit 731 was one of Japan’s biggest wartime atrocities and secrets. The Japanese government denied the unit’s existence until the late 1980s, while the unit’s ideologist, Shiro Ishii, was never punished.

#video #Kenya

Poverty and few jobs drive young men in Kenya to provide sex to older European women who come to the country on vacation.

Poor education is one of the reasons why young boys are easily dragged into prostitution. They haven’t the qualifications to get a decent job. Some boys claim they were underaged when these older women from Germany, Switzerland, and other countries approached them for sex.

Like young girls who also fall victims to sex tourists, the boys soon grow up and stop being “eligible” for the job. So they try to get as much as they can while it is still possible.

The nonprofits and volunteers who work in Kenya are doing their best to educate children by building schools. This is the only way to ensure they will have a future and change their way of thinking.

“If President Putin wanted to go in with bombs, it would be like America does,” says Mark Dougan, a former US Marine and police officer. He went as a journalist to Ukraine to see the progress of the special operation. His point of view is in the video; check it out.

Want to know his story? As a police officer, Dougan investigated the crimes of his colleagues and tried to bring them to justice. He even created a website where people could report police brutality. But according to Dougan, former colleagues started planning to kill him. That’s why he left the country. Our documentary ‘Breaking Bad Wolf’ is about it.

Shortly after Russia's military operation in Ukraine began, many Russians abroad felt a surge of Russophobia, from politicians to ordinary people on the street. Most Western countries deem discrimination unacceptable, and even illegal, when it comes to Russians, this no longer seems a given.

Some Russians say they are being fired from their jobs just because of their nationality, denied apartment rentals and even having bank accounts closed.

When it comes to social media, verbal abuse and bullying levels are unprecedented. Russian immigrants say they try to abstain from commenting on Facebook. “I’ve been getting various threatening messages on my phone recently. Most are along the lines ‘get out of here, a dead Russian is the best Russian,’” says one Russian woman who lives in Iceland.

Experts say this wave of harassment will eventually subside, but before it does, Russians should steer clear of social media and report physical threats to the police.

Hundreds were killed, thousands injured, and a city destroyed. Twenty-three years ago, NATO launched airstrikes on Belgrade.

Operation Allied Force launched 2,300 missiles and dropped 14,000 bombs. Collateral damage included schools, libraries, hospitals and homes. The alliance blamed Belgrade for ‘excessive and disproportionate use of force’ in a conflict with an ethnic Albanian insurgency in Kosovo.

Texas would be the world's 40th largest country if it was still an independent state. Yes, still. For a nine-year period between 1836 and 1845, Texas was an independent country. But some Texans, or Texians as they call themselves, claim their country never lost its sovereignty.

These separatists believe the United States’ annexation of Texas was illegal. The activists run their own government and have their own currency system.

There are more than 17 million veterans in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau. For many, leaving the military for civilian life is difficult and riddled with challenges, including unemployment, homelessness, and mental illnesses.

Many veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, as well as drug and alcohol addiction. Instead of turning to medication, some seek help and emotional outlet in therapeutic activities. Watch this documentary to learn more.

Agafia Lykova might be one of the most famous women in Russia. The world has changed many times over in her time, but life in the Siberian taiga hasn’t changed in 77 years. This documentary about Agafia was filmed eight years ago, but it’s still relevant.

Agafia Lykova, 77, is the sole remaining member of her family, which fled religious persecution during Soviet days. She lives apart from society, reads the Bible, and speaks old Slavonic. Although she rejects modern technology, last year she accepted a solar panel to power a satellite phone so she can call for help in case of emergency.

Hear Agafia’s incredible story of unshakable faith and resilience (it takes guts to live alone in the land of bears and wolves) in the documentary, Agafia, on Documentary Planet @documentaryplanet

- What scares you most, a drone or…the mines?
- Mines.
- Why?
- Because you walk, walk, walk…suspecting nothing. Then boom! And you’re gone.

Little girl Masha, like every kid in the Donbass, knows the difference between types of ammunition. Local children are used to shelling, while grown-ups try to protect them from the horrors of war. The full story in the documentary, Trapped.
