- The OneCoin scam is one of the biggest financial scandals in history. The cryptocurrency fraud functioned like a gigantic snowball system, designed by a glamorous German-Bulgarian with lots of criminal energy and good connections. The film tells the incredible story of Ruja Ignatova's meteoric rise to become the shining star of the investment world - and her spectacular downfall. On 25 October 2017, she disappeared without a trace. FBI and Interpol are looking for her. Yet there is no trace of her and the money. Ruja Ignatova was a master of self-promotion: at mass events she always appeared in glittering dresses and with shining red lipstick. She promised her gullible followers that she would break the power of the banks - a modern-day Robin Hood. Hear weapon: the cryptocurrency OneCoin. Soon, she promised, OneCoin would make them all rich. But that day never came. Using her extensive network of contacts, she made sure that the scam could continue for three years. Her fans believed in OneCoin like cult members. And some still do because OneCoin is still being sold. Anyone who wishes to do so can invest their life-savings - and lose them. The film shows how easy it is to trick people with the promise of easy money. Or, as the Romans, said: "For greed all nature is too little". A dark, sometimes funny and often absurd fairy tale about greed, avarice and vanity.

- Asphyxiated by international sanctions, the North Korean government has set up one of the world's largest systems of forced labor: 70,000 people are employed in a dozen countries in order to provide foreign currency to Kim Jong-un's regime. Attracted by the prospect of a high salary, these 21st century slaves find themselves forced to work fourteen hours a day in sometimes inhuman conditions, under constant surveillance and far from their families. As for their income, most of it is taken by the North Korean state. This system benefits Pyongyang, which finances its nuclear program in particular, but also agribusiness and construction companies.
- Whales beached after ingesting plastic, oceans soiled: a quarter of marine waste today comes from cans and plastic bottles. The drinks industry produces 470 billion single-use bottles each year, 25% of which come from Coca-Cola. Although the world's largest soft drink producer has set ambitious targets to prevent this environmental pollution, it has often failed to do so. In the 1950s, the company sold its drink exclusively in returnable glass bottles, which it washed and refilled. Two decades later, these were replaced by disposable bottles - a decision whose devastating effects still linger.
