Ghosts of Karabakh: Armenia and Azerbaijan's Tense Ceasefire
In just 44 days of fighting, more than 5000 soldiers and at least 143 civilians were killed in the recent war for #NagornoKarabakh / #Artsakh. Tens of thousands have been displaced, many people are still missing, and bodies are still being found.
The war has been active on and off for decades. It's a territorial conflict between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan.
We went to the frontlines in Karabakh to see how the war has affected the people and to see if the ceasefire is really holding.

Plastic Defence: Secret 3D Printed Guns in Europe
PLASTIC DEFENCE is a documentary about illegal 3D printed firearms in Europe and the decentralised network behind them. These guns are robust, they don't blow up in your hands, and they're untraceable. What's more, they're being made in people's bedrooms.
At Popular Front, we got access to the network designing and building these downloadable rifles. It goes by the name "Deterrence Dispensed". Its members are determined to give untraceable DIY firearms to the world. We spent time with the founder of the movement—a man known as JStark.
He showed us how he designs the firearms, builds them in his workshop, and even makes bootleg 9mm ammunition for them.
We also went out into the forests with JStark to witness how powerful 3D printed firearms have become, and to gauge how dangerous they co...

Ukraine's Anarchist Militants Fighting neo-Nazism
Ukraine has a long history of political anarchism, dating back to the Black Army of anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno in the 1920s.
Since the country's 2014 Maidan revolution though, the historical and modern day rise of fascist groups is more widely known. Whilst the Russian government's claims that the revolution was some kind of "Nazi Junta" are false, Ukraine does have a rising problem with militant fascism that cannot be ignored.
In a bid to combat the growing far-right, a group of anarchists calling themselves Rev Dia (Revolutionary Action) have begun to organise. They're armed, training, and have never spoken to journalists before. Until now...

The Rise and Fall of the Seattle CHOP
Throughout June, the Captiol Hill area of #Seattle became a battleground between anti-police-brutality protesters and the cops. After several nights of fighting, the police pulled out and the protesters took over the area. What followed was a no-police protest zone that spanned six blocks. This became know as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP).
Initially, the CHOP was intended to be a peaceful co-op that aimed to bring attention to black activism. What followed was a controversial few weeks that ended with the deadly shootings of three people.
Popular Front was on the ground to witness it all. This is the rise and fall of the Seattle CHOP, a documenatry by Johnny LeFlare and Max Curtis.

Guarding Raqqa from ISIS Sleeper Cells
It’s been two years since the city of #Raqqa was liberated from ISIS. The jihadists have lost all their territorial positions in #Syria, but are still active in the form of sleeper cells. They blend in with the population and launch attacks whenever they find the opportunity. This year alone ISIS sleeper cells in Raqqa claim to have killed 126 people in 32 attacks.
We went on patrol with the internal security forces of Raqqa, to find out what it’s like trying to keep ISIS out of the former capital of their Caliphate.

Add Oil: On the Ground with the Hong Kong Protesters
Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters have been clashing with police and rebelling against the Chinese system in #HongKong every week since June 9th. To get an idea of who these people are, and what they're fighting for, we spent time with them on the frontlines of the protests.

Uprising in Belarus
Belarus is considered by many to be Europe’s last dictatorship. The president, Alexander Lukashenko, has been in power since 1994. He rules the country with authoritarian laws that have stifled free speech, political activism, and press freedom.
On August 9th 2020 a presidential election was held in #Belarus. Despite there being a strong democratic opposition for the first time in years—with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya—Lukashenko somehow won with 80% of the vote.
Almost immediately evidence of vote rigging was shared online.
That same night, the people of Belarus took to the streets to protest. Thousands flooded into the country’s capital of Minsk. As this was happening, the government shut down the internet and blocked all the exits to the city.

We also went out into the forests with JStark to witness how powerful 3D printed firearms have become, and to gauge how dangerous they could be for Europe.
JStark argues that his group is helping people living under authoritarianism fight back against their oppressors. Whilst this could be true, Deterrence Dispensed is sending their technology out into the world for free to anyone and everyone. It's totally unregulated. If it gets into the wrong hands, which it easily could do, many innocent people could die.
[NOTE: Sorry gun fans, I interchangeably used the term "assault rifle" incorrectly I think. Forgive me, I'm Bri'ish - @Jake Hanrahan]
RIP JStark

Thousands of riot police were deployed all over Belarus to stop the protest marches. They attacked protesters viciously.
One of our filmmakers, Luke Pierce, was on the ground for these clashes. He caught firsthand how the people are resisting on the streets. We also met with an outlawed anarchist organisation trying to agitate against Lukashenko.
Have a watch.
