UNBOWED. UNBOUGHT. UNBREAKABLE. 

While empires fought over its ice, Greenland’s people fought for their soul. This is the story of the most resilient mindset on Earth, from the defiant rejection of Trump's millions to the uncovering of Denmark's hidden sterilization scandal. Witness the chilling legacy of abandoned US nuclear bases, a missing H-bomb under the glaciers, and a culture of quiet modesty that roared against American boasting.

A child can save a mother from a fire. But who will save her from herself?
In this documentary, we enter Russia's bleak villages where Child Protective Services have intervened. Here, poverty, unemployment, and addiction form a trap almost impossible to escape. We meet a mother whose child saved her from a fire, but was taken by the state as she battles addiction. We also meet others who failed their children once, but now fight every day for a chance to prove they can be parents again.
This is a raw look at a system where welfare, despair, and addiction collide, and the volunteers who step in as a last hope. This is the devastating reality behind the files. Hit play to watch one of the hardest documentaries we’ve ever filmed! https://youtu.be/gsrlriB9zz4

What a beautiful day today, guys! Not just a day, but a whole box of mandarins! And not even because today is my birthday, but simply because every day, as long as we’re alive, can be beautiful. Love you all! And some of you especially! Big hugs, kisses, and squeezes in all the right spots. On we go! Stop sadness!

Would you pay $40 for a watermelon?

On Sakhalin Island, that’s not a joke – it’s daily life. This is Russia’s remote frontier, where the past is a ghost you can touch. In this video you’ll get to explore Japanese masterpieces abandoned in a Russian forest, trace the tragic history of Koreans trapped under the USSR, and meet  locals who’ve forged a new identity: the "Sakhalin people." Why would anyone stay in a place of such brutal isolation, insane prices, and layered history? Watch the full documentary to find out! https://youtu.be/_dAcc6FNgKg

Dear friends! It’s me! Your New Year’s miracle! Ho-ho-ho! Ah! How I wish I could drop by your place right now, sit down at the New Year’s table, peel a little mandarin, put something delicious onto my plate, and raise a glass of Moldovan wine! But how can I possibly do it all? So for now, instead of myself, I’m sending you just Moldovan wine!

As I’ve said many times, if you have a chance to drink Moldovan wine, choose it. It’s hard to beat when it comes to price, quality, and pure enjoyment.

Moldovan wine is bottled happiness. It’s luxury, good health, a long life, silky hair, good grades for your kids, and sunshine beyond the window. And if you suddenly don’t know what to choose, here’s my list of the best Moldovan wines!
