They took on a powerful autocrat and won Ukraine's Maidan Revolution by putting their lives on the line in Kyiv's main square. But that was only the first battle of the young idealists of Generation Maidan. Now they are battling corrupt oligarchs and bureaucrats in the capital and pro Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. From the first days of the protest a team of Ukrainian filmmakers called Babylon'13 volunteered to capture history in the making on their DSLRs. While the smoke and emotions were still smoldering, Director Andrew Tkach interviewed medics, musicians, self-defense volunteers, civic activists and torture victims who appeared in Babylon's rushes. The front-line footage and interviews with young members of Generation Maidan are woven together to tell an unforgettable story.

In an age when disinformation muddles the truth, a newly discovered voice cuts through the historical haze. She is Rhea Clyman, a young Canadian reporter who traversed the starving Soviet heartland when Stalin’s man made famine was just beginning in Ukraine. Clyman’s newly discovered newspaper articles for Toronto and London newspapers in 1932 show her remarkable resourcefulness and courage. After she was banished from the USSR for writing about the Holodomor and the Gulag, this brave woman went on to cover Hitler’s early lethal years in power.

In the remote Tibetan villages of Upper Mustang, Nepal, climate change has desiccated the landscape. Water scarcity has forced the abandonment of Dhye village. The film profiles three resilient women fighting against their fate: Sonam, Kunchok, and Lhakpa. Most villagers have moved down to a river-fed valley and the new frontier town of Chambaleh, where they are growing a commercial apple crop. But Kunchok and Lhakpa stay with their beloved livestock and fields in ancient Dhye village.

It's the most violent gang in America. It has 10,000 foot soldiers in the US, spreading its brutal ways across 33 states. And now, it's going global, fueled by migration across the Western hemisphere and leaving its bloody mark from Central America to the American heartland. Police in half a dozen countries struggle to crack its code and decipher its methods. Now, for the first time, we get answers from the inside.
