During our expeditions, we shoot documentary films, which we show in cinemas or during debates in the Czech Republic and abroad. Czech TV bought some of them. We also shoot short films related to the topic of persecuted Czechs in the USSR or the persecution of our Russian partners from the Memorial association. Most of our films can be viewed on our YouTube channel

A Journey to the Gulag (2019)
Mosquitos, freezing cold, mysterious taiga. Inhospitable places where thousands of prisoners have suffered. To document abandoned Gulags in Siberia, you have to walk miles in their shoes.

Czechs and the Great Terror (2021)
Executions, deportations to Siberia, cruel torture, slave labor in Gulag camps. Such was the reverse face of Soviet reality throughout the period of Stalin's reign of terror. There were millions of victims. And among them thousands of Czechs. In the documentary series "Czechs and the Great Terror", we brought up five hitherto unknown fates in the form of short films and detailed articles, which we managed to uncover thanks to our research.

Expedition Karwiná (2021)
One newly located camp for Soviet prisoners and a thorough documenting of the remains of three other Nazi camps from the Second World War - this is the result of our short research in Karviná (Czech Silesia). The impetus for our expedition was a meeting with the writer Karin Lednicka, who drew attention to the illegal felling of trees and the destruction of the remains of buildings at the site of the former camp for Italian prisoners of war.
