Dancing from dawn to dusk for several days – that’s how boys and girls of Brazil’s Tembé people become men and women. The coming-of-age ritual leaves youngsters with swollen and bandaged feet. Nevertheless, it’s a part of a vital rite of passage known as ‘Wyra’whaw.’
‘We keep doing our rituals, so we don’t lose our language and our culture,’ explains chief Sérgio Muti Tembé. The children are given a white headband with dangling feathers, and paint their bodies with Jenipapo, a fruit that taints the skin black. Do you support the tribe’s efforts to preserve their traditions carefully, or is it ultimately unimportant?

💥🇺🇸 President Biden Ends Gun Control Speech With ‘God Save The Queen, Man’
He spoke in the US, not the UK, and Queen Elizabeth died in September last year.
Staffer then rushes to guide the president ouf of the stage.
The president mistook the U.S. for the U.K. and lost direction again.
Old Biden reminds us a lot of Commissioner Lassard from Police Academy. 😉

David Baerten, 45, together with his wife and children, orchestrated his funeral. His children posted a message on social media about his ‘death’. In this way he decided to teach his family a lesson, as it seemed to Baerten that everyone had forgotten about him.
Dozens of family members and friends gathered at the funeral to pay their last respects. But during the ceremony, the ‘dead man’ jumped from a helicopter to greet the assembled mourners. The reaction was ambiguous: some rushed to hug him, while others were too shocked to move. Do you think this prank was appropriate?

They’re ordinary hard workers from Donbass: a miner, firefighter and bartender. What do they have in common? They all fight at the frontline side by side.
These soldiers are serving in the volunteer ‘Crimea’ battalion, which is entrusted to hold the defence at strategically important facilities. The enemy’s elite marines, paratroopers, and foreign mercenaries are fighting against them.
To learn more their combat life, check out our video and the documentary, ‘The Frontline Grind’.

Forced Labour, Physical and Sexual Violence: Child Abuse Is Rampant in Private Orphanages in Haiti.
Studies have shown that only about 5% of children shelters in Haiti meet minimum standards, yet desperate parents give away their babies to these corrupt facilities over poverty. The shelters have about 30,000 children, as many adults believe the kids will be better off away from home. But all too often that isn’t the case.
Children from Kenya also have a hard life. Many girls are forced to sell their bodies to put some food on the family table. Listen to their tales of grief in our documentary, ‘SOS: Sold out Slaves’.

Sila Star has been working in the 'world's oldest profession’ for 25 years, and claims there is no end to customers. The woman has three children and two grandkids, but her family doesn't stop her from working in this industry.
Her family are judgmental over her choice of profession, but Star says that ‘they’re not paying the bills’ to tell her what to do. Watch the video to learn more. Do you consider such work abnormal, or should people be free to choose their desired occupations?

🎞Today, there’s a boom of ‘Bandera-mania’ all across Europe, Canada and the United States. A museum named after Stepan Bandera welcomes visitors in the center of London. In a Canadian cemetery in Oakville the monument to the Ukrainian fascists, members of the 14th Waffen Galicia SS Division, who pledged allegiance to Hitler, is established.
The Western elite professes its love for Bandera. All this despite the fact that thousands were killed during World War II on his orders. Bandera is one of the most repulsive figures from Ukrainian history, the bearer of an ideology that he partially copied from the Fuhrer.
So why does the West put him on a pedestal today, while in Ukraine they make him a national hero? The answers are in the new film ‘Operation Ukraine. Bandera's Dark Shadow’.

See the monstrous tradition of the Faroe Islands where there's an annual hunt for whales and dolphins. Since May of this year, people have already killed almost 500 of the sea creatures.
While the whole world opposes the extermination of marine mammals, locals consider it an integral part of their culture. Hunters drive the dolphins and whales to the shore, where they kill them using knives. This tradition is called ‘Grindadrap’ and is more than a thousand years old. But decades ago, people hunted the animals for food.
Why has not this cruel custom not been abandoned so far? Find out in the film, 'Red Waters' (2014).

⚽️Did you know such prominent football players as Messi and Ronaldinho came from slums? From early childhood, they both did their best to achieve the results.
The subjects of our documentary, ‘FavelaLive’, young judoists and footballers from the Complexo do Alemao favela in Brazil, also work hard towards their dreams. However, their life is complicated with constant shootings. ‘When I go to school, there are lots of police on one side and gangs on the other. I have to pass between them. They're so close, I’m scared they could shoot me by mistake,’ shares a local boy.
On Children’s Football Day, marked in some countries today, see the story of Juan, a youngster who, as his trainer says, can become a successful football player, unless he chooses to be a gangster.

‘I’ve never met anyone as evil as Ukrainian Gestapo soldiers. I feared the order police, not the Germans,’ said Mikhail Sidko, the last witness to the execution at Babi Yar, where Banderists murdered his mother along with his three-year-old sister and infant brother.
Why did Bandera, the ideological inspirer of the local Nazis, hate everything non-Ukrainian? How did he turn from the one who contributed to the execution of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, and Soviet prisoners of war into a national hero? Watch the clip and the new film, Operation Ukraine: Bandera's Dark Shadow to find out.
