Guadeloupe: An Island Living in Fear | Free Documentary
Guadeloupe: An Island Living in Fear | Free Documentary Surviving Diepsloot - South Africa’s No-Go Zone: https://youtu.be/t0zkJjfZPGs A dire economic situation and a strengthening drug trade places the capital of Guadeloupe in the top spot for homicides, robberies and violence against children - for all of France, as it’s a French overseas department and region. A sad statistic which the police, local organisations and volunteers are working to change. Having faced eighteen armed robberies of her small store, a shopkeeper in Pointe-à-Pitre is hesitant to even share her own experiences of violence. In the city centre, shop owners grit their teeth: insecurity and danger is becoming ever more commonplace. The film hears from an intellectual figure on the island, Édouard Boulogne, who explains the root of the problems that are shaking up Guadeloupe. This documentary was first released in 2014. In 2026, the crime situation in Guadeloupe remains a significant concern compared to 2014, with persistent challenges in violent crime and organized activity, though it continues to be categorized as a relatively low-risk destination for most travelers. While historical 2014 data showed the territory already struggling with high homicide rates relative to mainland France, 2026 reports highlight continued issues with drug-related violence and prison overcrowding. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #guadeloupe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2YJ4XzQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is passionate about sharing the beauty and diversity of our world through high-quality documentaries available for free on YouTube.

Venezuela’s Lost Children | Surviving a Country in Collapse | Free Documentary Ecuador - The Narco Wars: https://youtu.be/p3EdLKSLJYY Corruption and mismanagement has turned Venezuela into a failed state. Over six million people have fled the country in recent years. Around one million children were left behind by their parents. This remarkable film follows two single mothers and their children over several months as they do what it takes to survive. In the barrio Santa Rosa de Agua, health care has collapsed and children are dying from hunger. Carolina has set up a foundation to help feed them. But the barrio is so violent that she had to send her own daughter, Victoria, to a children’s home. The home is an oasis in the midst of violence and deprivation. However, many of the children, who haven’t seen their parents for years, are traumatised. They struggle with feelings of rejection. Most people in the barrio survive through violence, prostitution and begging. “I’ve had to do lots of things for my kids,” confides Kiara, “selling drugs, stealing, prostituting myself – everything a woman can do for her children.” Her eldest son, Yorbenis, 14, has already joined a gang and is on the verge of his first kill. Desperate, Kiara decides to leave the country for Colombia. She takes her small children with her, while Yorbenis stays behind. Now, she’s terrified that he will be murdered in her absence. She knows he is being hunted by rival gangs as well as the police… #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #venezuela ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2YJ4XzQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is passionate about sharing the beauty and diversity of our world through high-quality documentaries available for free on YouTube.

No country has experienced such rapid change in the new millennium as Bhutan. Television, the internet, and democracy arrived almost simultaneously in the last Himalayan kingdom. While the capital, Thimphu, is becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in Asia, just a few kilometers to the north, nearly 20,000 people still live as yak herders on the high plateaus of the Himalayas. Young yak herder Tshewang must often leave his family for months at a time, climbing to altitudes above 5,000 meters in search of a legendary medicinal fungus. Five-year-old Dorji is sent away from his family to live in a monastery, as his parents struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Choki, a dedicated organic farmer, is trying to bring new ideas and opportunities to her remote village.

The fighters on both sides have often been profiled but this documentary looks at a group often thought of as merely victims of the war: women. On both sides there are female combatants. Some are fighting for what they believe in, others because they have nowhere else to go and nothing to lose. Many of these women have never seen peace, they joined to replace fathers lost in battle and never looked back. Others have left a militia but are unable to return home so the army seems like the next best option. Who are these women and what motivates them?

Mega Prisons, Cartels, Total Chaos | Ecuador: The Narco Wars | Free Documentary World’s Most Dangerous Jobs - Cape Town’s Anti-Gang Unit: https://youtu.be/lXCRxJh4xEk Long considered a haven of peace in Latin America, Ecuador today is facing an unprecedented wave of violence. Prison riots, hostage-taking on live television and homicides by the thousands: the country is now in a ‘state of war’ against the narcos. The country is at the heart of international cocaine trafficking. To cope with the cartels’ stranglehold, the 36-year-old President Daniel Noboa has declared a state of emergency. We obtained exceptional authorization to follow the extraordinary operations of the police and army. Today, the entire state is mobilized to restore calm and order. But will this be enough? In Guayaquil, the country’s economic capital and largest port, the entire city is under cartel control. Amid containers full of bananas, we followed the army’s operations to track down the cocaine. The battle is also being waged in the prisons, which have been held by the Narcos for years. Our journalists were able to enter the high-security section of the Guayaquil prison. It was from here that Fito, leader of the “Choneros”, the country’s most powerful gang, escaped. In this all-out war against the Narcos, politicians and judges are on the front line. Luis Chonillo, the mayor of Guayaquil, has survived nine attacks. He is now permanently escorted by some twenty armed men, and his family has taken refuge in the United States. In spite of this, he refuses to abandon the inhabitants of his commune to corruption and gangs. Heidy Borja, a young magistrate, also faces threats and a lack of resources. At the Guayaquil court, she courageously leads her fight against organized crime. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #ecuador ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2YJ4XzQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bringing high-quality documentaries to you on YouTube for free with the latest camera equipment used by renowned filmmakers working for renowned production studios.

One of the main polluters is the fashion industry: 500 textile factories pump their wastewater directly into the Citarum river. Thanks to the help of concerned citizens, the Green Warriors team analyzed water samples, rice and children’s hair and found toxic chemicals are endangering the lives of 14 million Indonesians. These findings caused the Indonesian government to change its wastewater regulations. The president also recently announced a new plan to clean up the Citarum.

Beauty and Bloodshed | Mozambique: A Nation on Edge | Free Documentary Sudan - Surviving a Broken Nation: https://youtu.be/obySpxYXzfw Mozambique’s national flag features a kalashnikov rifle; a symbol of the country’s tragic history. After winning independence from Portugal, a disastrous civil war followed, which dragged on for seventeen years. More than a million people died before peace accords were agreed in 1992. Mozambique has tried to move on from its violent past, but recently insurgents have caused tensions to flare in the north of the country, which is majority Muslim. Some jihadist groups have allied themselves with ISIS and several thousand fighters have spread terror through the region. As a result, more than 3000 people have died, and 800,000 have been displaced. The Rwandan army, the most battle-seasoned troops on the African continent, were called in to help and in just a few weeks they succeeded in retaking Caliphate strongholds. But the peace is fragile, and poverty, injustice and corruption feed the conflict. Refugees have been stuck in camps for over a year, suffering from severe shortages of the most basic necessities. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world. Yet it has an extraordinarily rich heritage, including a World Heritage Site of colonial treasures from the era of Portuguese rule. And another treasure – gas reserves. Huge gas deposits were discovered in the north, but, due to the threat of jihadists, all plans are on hold for the moment, including the interest from French group Total Energy. Mozambique is also rich in rubies. We gained exclusive access to the biggest ruby mine in the world. Every day hundreds of tons of earth are sifted in search of precious gems. Rubies, gas reserves, pristine beaches… and jihadists. Mozambique is a country torn between its rich natural resources, and the ever-present threat of armed conflict. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #mozambique ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2YJ4XzQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is passionate about sharing the beauty and diversity of our world through high-quality documentaries available for free on YouTube.
