Episode 1 • Jan 05, 2011
Operation Barbarossa
The Battle of Britain is over. The Luftwaffe has been driven to exhaustion, and Germany suffers its first major defeat. Even though Britain remains undefeated, it is so isolated that Hitler has no concerns about turning his attention East. Operation Barbarrossa, the German invasion of the USSR, takes the Soviets completely by surprise and the Red Army suffers terrible casualties.
Episode 2 • Feb 05, 2011
Kiev 1941
After the swift success at Smolensk, Hitler has diverted the bulk of Heinz Guderian's panzers down to the South, so as to capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, considered more important than Moscow in Hitler's mind. It begins a gigantic clash and turns out to be the biggest military encirclement in history.
Episode 3 • Mar 05, 2011
The Defence of Sevastopol
Erich von Manstein's soldiers have trapped a massive Soviet force in Crimea, but the doomed troops have no intentions of surrendering, obeying Stalin's brutal "Not A Step Back" order. Manstein assembles the greatest concentration of artillery in history, which includes the world's biggest railway-gun nicknamed "Dora," and for eight months Soviets troops are savagely bombarded.
Episode 4 • Apr 05, 2011
The Battle of Moscow
October 1941, Germany's Army Group Center is only some 25 km west of Moscow. The Russian winter, however, is only a few weeks away. With not enough soldiers or military equipment, the Soviet high command's only hope left is that the weather will save the capital. The battle ends in a bloody failure for the German Army, and it is forced to retreat.
Episode 5 • May 05, 2011
The Siege of Leningrad
Leningrad, a vital and large Baltic sea port, is facing the entire weight of Army Group North. The Soviets have no reserves to spare as the Battle of Moscow is about to begin. Wilhelm von Leeb's Army Group North fails to take Leningrad, but begins a horrible siege that will last 872 days, in which over a million civilians will die of starvation and disease.
Episode 6 • Jun 05, 2011
Rzhev
The capture of Rzhev, the city that connects all railroads in Western Russia, is imperative. It will cost the lives of some 3 million Soviet soldiers and 500 000 German soldiers. It will take the Soviets a total of 3 years to throw the Germans firmly out of the city. These bloodbaths will become known by the veterans and historians as "The Rzhev Meat-Grinder."
Episode 7 • Jul 05, 2011
The Battle of Stalingrad
The Nazis invade the oil rich Caucasus to cut off this critical source of fuel to the Soviets. Standing in the way is Staligrad. Without realizing the strategic error they are making the Nazis reduce the city to rubble through air and artillery bombardment. The rubble serves as an ideal environment for an extended urban battle where the vaunted Blitzkrieg is useless. The error costs the Nazis dearly in men and materiel which the Nazis need for the Battle of Moscow and time the Soviet's use to rearm. Worst, The Nazis fail in their objective to capture the Caucuses.
Episode 8 • Aug 05, 2011
Kavkaz
After the failure to take both Moscow and Leningrad, Hitler sets his sights on the oil fields in the Caucasus. If captured, the Red Army will lose 70%-90% of all its oil resources. Therefore, the famous city on the Volga, Stalingrad, must be "held at all costs." The German General Staff thinks taking the city will be a matter of a few weeks, but events steadily turn against the Germans.
Episode 9 • Sep 05, 2011
The battle of Kursk
in the summer of 1943 Nazi forces armed with new advanced weaponry launch Operation Citadel expecting success comparable to their last two summer offensives. Their plan is to encircle the Soviet forces in a large salient near Kursk. But the battle plan is obvious and the Soviets are fore-warned, deeply entrenched and much better armed and experienced than in previous summer campaigns. Ironically, the Nazi's top defensive commander will lead the offensive while the Soviet's top offensive tactician will play defense. The result is incredible carnage and a fatal defeat for the Nazi invasion of Russia.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
