Documentary biographical film from the series "Secrets of the Century" dedicated to the 90th anniversary of aviation colonel general Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub. Ivana Kozhedub – three times Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-as of the Great Patriotic War. At the age of 23, he becomes one of the most effective fighter pilots, sometimes shooting down 2-3 German planes a day. What is the secret of this young guy, the son of the poorest peasants of the Ukrainian village Obrahievka, who, along with Pokryshkin and Zhukov, became one of the 3 three times Heroes of the USSR? On his account by the end of the war was already 62 enemy aircraft — so many could not boast of no one else not only in Soviet aviation, but in the entire aviation of the allies. Ivan Kozhedub proved his superiority over American fighter pilots once again in the 50s, during the Korean War. Officially, it is still accepted that Ivan Nikitovich was sent there as commander of the 324th Fighter Aviation Division (64 corps), but he did not make combat sorties. However, having studied the testimony of his relatives and fellow soldiers who take part in the film, requesting documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense, our film crew makes a sensational conclusion - Ivan Kozhedub, contrary to Moscow's orders, not only personally fought in Korea with yesterday's American allies, but was once shot down in the sky over Korea. Many materials of the film - diaries and personal letters of Ivan Kozhedub from the family archives, a personal file, a credit card, award sheets and unique photo documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, confirming Kozhedub's participation in the Korean War, will be shown to the viewer for the first time. close

At the end of the XVI century, Joseon experienced not better times. Internal strife tormented and already exhausted by previous wars power. In the north, the raids of the Jurchen stopped, and from the east, Joseon was threatened with even greater danger.

The naval commander Li Sunshin once repulsed the attacks of the enemy, not once conceded to him. Despite the fact that because of the slander of envious people, he was accused of cowardice and betrayal, was subjected to torture and almost lost his life, Li maintained loyalty to his homeland and people. close

Postwar France was slow to recover from the after-effects of the World War Two. The economy was doing poorly, and many people were poor and homeless, sleeping under bridges, etc. The winter of 1953-54 proved particularly difficult for these people, as it was one of the coldest on record. Father Pierre (Lambert Wilson), a parish priest, on seeing the suffering of these people (and their frequent death from the cold), was moved to write the French government seeking help for them. When his letter, which was published in the newspapers, succeeded in rousing overwhelming popular support for helping the homeless, he was able to form a charitable group (still active today) titled "Les Chiffoniers d'Emmaus," or "The Ragpickers of Emmaus" to channel help to them. This biographical film tells the true story of Abbe Pierre's successful efforts in those years. close
