Pablo Escobar was the richest, most powerful drug kingpin in the world, ruling the Medellin Cartel with an iron fist. Andres Escobar was the biggest soccer star in Colombia. The two were not related, but their fates were inextricably-and fatally-intertwined. Pablo's drug money had turned Andres' national team into South American champions, favored to win the 1994 World Cup in Los Angeles. It was there, in a game against the U.S., that Andres committed one of the most shocking mistakes in soccer history, scoring an "own goal" that eliminated his team from the competition and ultimately cost him his life. The Two Escobars is a riveting examination of the intersection of sports, crime, and politics. close

The series of films allows viewers to see the “star period” of brilliant victories of the Russian soldier in the Great Patriotic War. Six episodes of the cycle tell about those battles of the Red Army with the troops of Hitlerite Germany, in which the military power of the Third Reich was first undermined, and then destroyed. The Kursk battle of the summer of the 43rd, the forcing of the seemingly impregnable line of defense of the Germans on the Dnieper steeps in the autumn of the 43rd seriously undermined the power of the enemy. But the most brilliant streak of military success of our army came in 1944. He became a theme for the fascist troops even more than the 41st for our army. In the films of the cycle, war veterans take part, who with their blood and then mined these victories. Their personal front stories, sounding in films, the most dramatic and true chronicle of the Great Patriotic War. They are the last bearers of images and the truth of that war, in which the horrors of battles, hand-to-hand combat, tank attacks, wounds, injuries, injuries, deaths and injuries, the triumph of the victors, the joy of liberating their native land from the enemy, a sense of pride for well-done hard combat work have converged. close

Seventy-five percent of the American people still refuse to believe the official story of President John F. Kennedy's death. They do not think he was killed by a lone gunman but by a mysterious cabal that somehow conspired to have him killed. How can this be? How can a crime this famous, witnessed and investigated by so many, remain a mystery? This is what veteran Australian police detective Colin McLaren is determined to find out. JFK: The Smoking Gun follows the forensic cold-case investigation McLaren conducted over four painstaking years, taking us back to that tragic day in Dallas at Dealey Plaza where the shooting took place, to Parkland Hospital where the president was pronounced dead, to the Bethesda Naval Hospital where the autopsy was conducted and to the conclusions of the Warren Commission that have remained controversial to this day. close
