Desert Blues: Saharan Songs of Resistance

Our journalist Rowan Glass traveled to the Taragalte Festival, a leading desert blues event in the Moroccan Sahara. This genre, known as tishoumaren, blends music with history and was born from the Tuareg's struggles across the Sahara and Sahel. Emerging from decades of insurgency, desert blues now resonates worldwide.

Beyond the Bonfires: The 12th & the Orange Order

Belfast, Northern Ireland, comes alive every 12th of July. This annual event, led by the Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal group, symbolises Unionist pride and stirs deep historical divides. This documentary, featuring Michael Archer, explores the marches, bonfires, and the Orange Order's contemporary influence in Northern Ireland.

Volunteer Commandos - Kurdistan's Foreign Fighters

We received exclusive videos from the frontlines of the Syrian Civil War in Manbij. We got in contact with River Rainbow O'Mahoney Hagg - a former volunteer to the YPG - to produce this incredible insight into the group's operations. A raw, unfiltered look at Kurdistan's armed struggle.

Ultima Generazione - Italy's Green Revolutionaries

We managed to get in contact with Simone Ficicchia, the spokesperson and leading activist of Ultima Generazione, which is the largest and most disruptive eco-activist organisation in Italy. This video report provides an exclusive insight into the group's acts of civil disobedience.

Anarchist Saboteurs - BOAK's Guerrilla Action Against Putin's Regime

To initiate our 'Inside Insurgencies' video series where we film in-depth reports on under-reported political movements, we managed to get in contact with a member of the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organisation (BOAK), a Russian partisan group operating against Putin by destroying infrastructure and recruitment offices.
