When a plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, a teenage postal worker, Sumiteru Taniguchi, was ‘lucky’. However, he received terrible injuries to his back and left arm.
Sumiteru was a hibakusha, the Japanese for an A-bomb survivor. Burns covered his entire back, forcing him to lie on his stomach for nearly two years.
Sumiteru devoted the rest of his life to the anti-nuclear movement, showing his scars as a symbol of the horrors of war. More than 70,000 people died in Nagasaki due to the Fat Man bomb.
Sumiteru died of cancer in 2017. This is part of his interview from the documentary Atomic Message.

‘We sent our children off to school, and we didn’t know if we would see them again.’
This is the second time Zinaida’s family has had to abandon their home in Eastern Ukraine. The first time was in 2014. Then, they fled to Russia and were housed in a church.
They don’t understand why their compatriots have turned against them, and their suffering has been ignored for eight years. Zinaida says it might sound cruel, but maybe now those fleeing to Europe will understand what it was like for the people of Donbass all this time.
Hear from more Donbass residents who found shelter in Russia in the upcoming documentary, Ukraine: Heading East.

On August 8, 2008, Georgian tanks rumbled into Tskhinval, South Ossetia’s capital. Decades of simmering conflict between Tbilisi and the breakaway republic finally erupted when Georgia launched an assault to retake the region. As artillery fire rained down on residential districts, Moscow came to Ossetian rescue, and the war ended in five days, still claiming hundreds of civilian lives.
Over a decade has passed, as the South Ossetians have been trying to rebuild their lives. At the time, people who were kids recall the shelling of their houses and fleeing bombing hoping their children would grow up free of such blood-curdling memories.
South Ossetia is to hold a status referendum on joining the Russian Federation after the next presidential election on April 10. President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov said legal steps in this direction have already been made.

‘People are being kicked out into the square, Ukrainian soldiers are occupying flats, and they are shooting from the windows...’ This is what Mariupol residents whose apartment buildings have been half destroyed by shells told us. Entire families fled the city center and settled in a building on the outskirts, hoping it would be safer there.
There is no heating in the building, people sleep in warm clothes because it gets very cold at night, and they cook outside. The explosions and rumbling never stop. Natalya, the mother of ten-year-old Sveta, says the girl ‘even flinches in her sleep, she’s really afraid.’ But most of the adults don't notice the explosions and say they’re already used to it.
Mariupol residents say some people have been intimidated by Ukrainian volunteers: ‘They said that people are sent to Siberia, to the Urals, that passports and phones are taken away, and you’ll be left with only document saying you’re a displaced person.’

Honduras is one of the most dangerous places to be a woman. The country has the highest rate of femicide, gender-based murder, in Latin America. Women are easy targets for gangs that wage war against each other on the streets of Honduras. Stepping outside your home can sometimes be deadly.
These parents lost their daughter, and they have little hope the perpetrators will be held to account. For more, watch the new documentary Honduran Femicide.

Porfiry Ivanov was a Russian mystic who believed the cold could cure cancer. He wore shorts and walked barefoot all year round. His cult of the cold attracted thousands of followers before the USSR collapsed.
There are still adherents of his method who regularly practice yoga in temperatures below zero and take cold showers every day. Brrrr! 🥶
Watch the documentary, Surviving the Cold, to learn more about how the human body reacts and adapts to cold.

‘It’s all over, Valechka, you’re already here. It's all over now.’ American Russell Bentley fighting in Donbass and an RT Documentary team helped reunite a family.
Stanislav and Valentina, both 70, and their 50-year-old daughter Irina were taken from Mariupol. Stanislav’s sister Larisa asked for help to have her relatives brought to Donetsk. It eventually took a few days, and they even got to bring their cat Terra with them.
On the way, everyone was crying, even Russell, who came from the United States eight years ago to defend the Donbass. You can find his story in the movie Donbass. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
‘We were brought up. I thought you would leave us,’ said Valentina. The family still doesn't believe that they managed to meet.
This story will be in a new RT Documentary film. Don't miss the premiere!

‘You can’t cancel Russian culture; it has always been and always will be part of the global culture’
Pupo is a famous Italian singer who is very popular in Russia. He performed his hit song, Lidia a Mosca (Lidia in Moscow), at Rome’s Russian Centre for Science and Culture. Pupo wrote the song after falling in love with a Russian girl during his first trip to Russia in 1979.
‘You can’t tell an Italian, for example, that you should cancel Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov. They are forever. How could you cancel the antiquity, art and culture of the Middle Ages, Renaissance? This applies to Russian culture too.’
Stay tuned for more thoughts on Russian culture and cancel culture in our upcoming documentary!

‘They don’t let anyone out because they say: ‘We are the last to leave, and you are our protection, you are our shields.’ So they hide in our yards, sit in the yard and shoot.’ This is how the residents of Mariupol describe what the Azov* battalion fighters were doing.
Our camera crew talked to those still in the city. Svetlana came up and asked to record an appeal to the president of Ukraine. She was in the deepest despair: ‘Greetings to Zelensky, personally... What have you done? What have you done, you bastard? How many people, how many orphans, how many... It’s horrible.’.
Another woman led our film crew to the grave of her 27-year-old daughter, who was killed in the shelling. ‘I buried her in front of the window’. Now she is caring for her wounded sister, diagnosed with diabetes. Medicine is scarce, and the days are running out. There are many elderly people left in the city, many of them wounded.

The pro-choice community in the United States has been outraged by the recent decision of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to sign one of the strictest abortion laws in the US, the Heartbeat Act, which prohibits abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy. Protests swept across America, and even celebrities like Billie Eilish and Uma Thurman joined in.
However, not everyone was on the same page. For example, Claire survived a late-term abortion, and her twin brother didn’t. For that reason, she has been an advocate of the pro-life position all her life. She is not alone. Many women hold the same opinion and have reasons for that, which are hard to ignore.
Doctors warn that a total abortion ban may increase illegal procedures, as was the case before they were legalised in 1973. Who is right, and what turn will this discussion take?

The face of a crying girl in the eyes of Dostoevsky. The comment next to it: ‘Donetsk, Luhansk’. This is the creative perception by Iorit, a street artist, of the writer’s saying: ‘No well-being is worth a tear of a child’.
This is how Iorit Agoch, a street artist, addresses Russophobia in Italy. He painted Fyodor Dostoevsky on the wall of the Augusto Righi School. He did it after a Milan university shortened a course on Dostoevsky. Iorit says Russian culture is part of global cultural heritage, and no one has the right to cancel it.
“Culture is a universal value, and Dostoevsky is a part of humanity’s heritage”, Agoch says.
The cheeks of the Russian writer feature red stripes – the artist’s signature style. Iorit had been working on Dostoevsky’s portrait for 20 days. When he finished it, people in neighbouring blocks applauded him, even though Ukrainian flags hung on buildings next to the school.
His interview will feature in our new documentary film.

Buddhists from all over Russia and beyond come to a temple in the small region of Buryatia to see the miracle - the incorruptible body of Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov. Born in 1852, he was a prominent Buddhist monk and scholar. When he was 75, Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov gathered his pupils and started to chant a prayer for the dead. He was meditating.
His body switched off, and, as he wished, he was put in a wooden box. Seventy-five years later, he was exhumed only to discover his body showed no signs of decay. Instead, there was no smell, his head shone, his limbs were flexible, and his skin was elastic. Now he’s worshipped as a saint and considered alive.
Tune in for the new documentary, Miracle Monk, to learn more about the phenomenon of meditating monks, hacking body processes and the science behind the phenomena on @documentaryplanet
