IWTW ‘Explore’ is about highlighting different trends around the world and presenting audiences with both sides of the story in order to facilitate a better understanding of world issues and decision making in the spheres of the economy, society, environment, technology and politics.
What is it about?
Journalist Sean Langan reports from the Donbass region, an area annexed by Moscow. He meets those living on the front lines, as well as soldiers fighting for Russia. It’s a rare look at a world usually inaccessible to Western media.
Together with his colleague — Donetsk-based translator Sascha — Langan goes behind the front lines of the Russian war in Ukraine. Despite working under the watchful eyes of Russian authorities, he manages to gain deep insights into the merciless war of attrition on the front. The conflict has already claimed an estimated hundreds of thousands of lives, and this film shows Moscow’s relentless determination to fight on, regardless of its own losses.

IWTW note: The opinions in the video don’t necessarily represent those of IWTW. The goal of IWTW ‘Explore’ is to inform its audience about interesting developments around the world through a selection of short and long documentaries. IWTW considers those documentaries to be great starting points for further discussion. I strive to update the selection of content should ‘better’ documentaries emerge over time.
