Heartland
Over the last 25 years, more than 900 Thai women have come to the small northern region of Jutland, Denmark, to marry Danish men.

Daphne: A Pen Too Sharp
On 16th October 2017, Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated in a car bomb attack close to her home.

This documentary seeks to come closer to the truth about her death.
Undercover in the Alt-Right
Over the course of a year, researcher Patrik Hermansson went deep undercover, as Swedish student Erik Hellberg, at the heart of the alt-right. He infiltrated some of the most notorious far-right networks in the US and the UK, extracting damning information that runs all of the way to the highest level of authority in the US. And he caught it all on hidden camera.
