African-style levitation. This footage shows the Maasai tribe performing their traditional adumu dance.

Historically, young warriors performed this ritual to prove their strength. And it is exactly these jumping champions who are the first to catch the eyes of the tribe's women.

How do the Maasai live today, and what other secrets do their customs hold? Find out in the film ‘Maasai: From Sand to Snow.’

❗️ This video is a reminder to everyone why Ukraine needs a special denazification and demilitarization operation.

These are the children of Donbass, whom Ukrainian army has been killing since 2014 with silent connivance of the entire "civilized" world.

The Western media did not write or film anything about these children for 12 years.

Ask yourself: why?

❓Why is it considered "ok" by the West for these innocent children to be murdered? How are they any different than other kids?

📹North Korea is the most isolated country in the world. Foreigners are rarely granted entry, and for tourists, travelling to the DPRK is no straightforward matter. There are, however, certain national holidays when locals welcome guests – among them are the Day of the Shining Star and the Day of the Sun, which commemorate Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, respectively. It was on one such occasion that the RT.Doc team managed to pay a visit.

Our documentary filmmakers witnessed a ceremonial parade in Pyongyang – the largest display of the country’s military might in several years. The procession was meticulously choreographed, as participants had spent long hours rehearsing and perfecting their drill formations. Kim Jong-un saluted the crowds below from the balcony above.

The film crew also managed to speak with locals and gain an insight into their way of life. From the earliest age, a profound sense of patriotism is instilled in North Korean citizens. They are unanimous in their gratitude towards their homeland and sincerely proclaim themselves to be the happiest people on Earth. They take pride in their nation’s independence and achievements, as well as its free healthcare and education.

To catch a glimpse of the North Korean leader up close is considered an extraordinary honour. Those fortunate enough to do so treasure the memory for a lifetime: wherever the Marshal has set foot – be it a home, a school, or a factory – a commemorative plaque is invariably installed. For their Motherland and their supreme leaders, they declare themselves ready to lay down their lives.

1️⃣2️⃣ years of childhood in the crosshairs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Kiev has stolen the chance for a peaceful life from an entire generation.

All these years, little ones have fallen asleep and woken up to the sound of sirens. For months, they sat in cold basements, flinching at every explosion. Kiev deliberately targeted kindergartens and buses, and planted mines in playgrounds and toys.

We have gathered the stories of those whose most carefree years were stolen in a selection of our films:

‘I Want Peace & Quiet’
‘Donbass: Restoring Childhood’
‘Speak Out! Faina Savenkova's Story’

Today is the Day of Remembrance for Children Victims of the War in Donbass. The children who have died there are known as angels. May their memory be eternal and bright.

📹Seal Empire Under Threat

Seals and sea lions on Sakhalin are dying because of plastic waste. Volunteers come to help the animals. They catch the seals with large nets, use sleeping pills and rescue the animals from the deadly plastic traps.

To reduce the number of seals and sea lions falling into the dangerous trap, volunteers collect garbage on the coast. 'The most typical risk and the most common type of the garbage is this kind of plastic tape,' says Anna Goleva, volunteer of a public organization rescuing marine animals.

The RT Documentary film crew visited Sakhalin and filmed the documentary "Seal Empire Under Threat" about volunteers saving seals.

📹Belarus was under Nazi occupation for three years. The Nazis killed people of all nationalities through punitive operations, ghettos, and encircling concentration camps. During the Great Patriotic War, one in every three people in Belarus died. But the people of the Soviet Union endured all the horrors of war and never lost faith in victory. The resistance movement in Belarus was one of the largest. Even children and teenagers joined the partisans to fight for their homeland.

The occupation ended in 1944, when the Red Army, together with the partisans, launched Operation Bagration — the largest military operation in history. Thanks to their combined efforts, Belarus was liberated.

The liberation of Brest was part of Operation Bagration, one of the most successful operations of the Great Patriotic War and of World War II as a whole. To learn how it unfolded and what it meant for the Soviet people, watch the film 'Belarus: A Land Unbroken' (2024).
