In 2007, a message appeared on the Internet that before her death, the clairvoyant Vanga allegedly predicted that in far Siberia, in Bratsk, on March 17, a chlorine plant located right in the center of the city would explode. That "brothers fall asleep and do not wake up." The author of the film specially goes to the city two days before a possible disaster.

The phrase "Black holes" appeared thanks to science fiction, but came into use thanks to science, which thereby confirmed their existence. Black holes remain as much a symbol of a bold scientific hypothesis as white spots are a symbol of scientific mystery.

Imagine Slovenia completely uninhabitable. Such is the territory of the Semipalatinsk test site. In these 18.5 thousand square kilometers, the atom was not peaceful. For 40 years, from 1949 to 1989, more than 500 nuclear and thermonuclear explosions thundered here, including the most powerful of the ground ones. How does this land live now, and will it ever be habitable? The film crew of the program "Aggressive Environment" visited one of the most radioactive places on the planet.

The film follows a group of adults and their children who in the summer of 2014 decide to leave their customary life arrangement and start the first eco-community in Estonia. They scrape together their savings and buy an old manor lot with 33 hectares of agricultural land and 3750 square meters of old houses in very bad condition. There are 5 families together – 12 adults and 6 children. Their experiment has been inspired by the growing global movement of eco-villages. They step out of society as we know it, reconstructing the basic pillars of life, starting from the model of the family, to education, relationships and consumption. Their goal is to build non-violent co-operative relations among themselves, harmonious connections, and sustainable lifestyle with a small environmental footprint. The film follows the dramatic events in the community for 5 years, from their blissful idealistic beginnings in 2014 until their dramatic collapse in 2019.

The disappearance of the Aral Sea is one of the most catastrophic man-made disasters in world history. Rusty shipwrecks and a salt desert lie below the horizon and were once covered in water. "Sea Tomorrow" leaves us in this post-apocalyptic landscape where the sea has gone but the people remain, namely a fisherman with nowhere to fish, an old gardener on soil too salty to grow trees, a hydro-biologist daily examining the deposits of the former sea bottom and pirates after a shipwreck. Locals say that every 100 years the land is renewed. The sea has gone, but one day it may return again.

This film is a challenge to the civilized world, which is unable to stop the bloody ivory business. This is an accusation of the inefficiency of many non-governmental organizations involved in the conservation of rare endangered species of plants and animals, but in fact they are inactive. This film is an exposure of the corruption that is eating away at the African continent.

This film was shot in an amazing place, in the very north of Transbaikalia, in the Charskaya hollow, surrounded by the peaks of Kodar, Udokan and the Kalarsky ridge. Since ancient times, only Evenks and reindeer herds roamed here. Civilization came here only in the middle of the 20th century for the first Soviet uranium, which was mined by convicts, and for copper from the unique Udokan deposit. But what brought our contemporaries here?
