The movie "Martin Margiela: In His Own Words" is about the life and current status of a genius who rose to the top without ever showing his face. I had never heard of the designer Martin Margiela or his brand, but even I, who is not interested in fashion, could watch it with interest.

A family of four who were forced to flee Afghanistan filmed their 5600km journey to Europe using three smartphones. The resulting movie, "Midnight Traveler," is not just a portrayal of the harsh reality faced by refugees, but also reminds us that even refugees have "happy days" filled with smiles, much like a family photo album.

The movie "Audrey" is a documentary that captures the unknown face of the world-famous superstar. Based on various testimonies, it depicts the unparalleled genius, who suffered from severe hunger due to war, the disappearance of her father, the enduring sense of loneliness, and the audition for the movie "Roman Holiday" brought about by chance, as well as her activities with UNICEF.

With the backing of President Putin, the Chechen Republic maintains its dictatorship, and an abnormal situation that can only be called "Gay-Cleansing" continues in the country. The film "Welcome to Chechnya" depicts this reality at great risk and also portrays the struggles of support groups fighting against the "modern-day Holocaust."

In the movie "The Unnamable Dance," Tanaka Min says that he feels uncomfortable expressing his "self" or "individuality." Instead of "building a body for dancing," he prefers to "dance with the body made from farm work." He wants to explore the pre-artistic form of dancing. The documentary portrays the life and current state of the "one and only unique performer."

Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda who was number two in Nazi Germany. In the film "A German Life," his secretary Brunhilde Pomsel, who was 103 years old at the time, spoke about the past in front of the camera. Her regret and lessons are contained in the words, "I did foolish things, but they were unavoidable." We must take her words seriously.

The shocking documentary film "V siti" moved the police in the Czech Republic, and is filled with the ugliness of middle-aged men who take advantage of a girl's "loneliness". We should realize the reality that simply "restricting internet access" is not enough to protect children.

I was so shocked by "For Sama" that I thought such a movie could never exist again. The journalist, who is also a mother and a revolutionary, documented the city in Syria that was continuously bombed and raised her daughter in the same city. This is not a reality that can be dismissed as "I didn't know."

Mads Brugger is a documentary filmmaker who has no ethical conflicts, but only curiosity, which resulted in his "expulsion" from North Korea for making this film, "The Red Chapel. This shocking film shows the "everyday" and "extraordinary" life in North Korea, where Brugger went undercover under the guise of "friendship.

With the backing of President Putin, the Chechen Republic maintains its dictatorship, and an abnormal situation that can only be called "Gay-Cleansing" continues in the country. The film "Welcome to Chechnya" depicts this reality at great risk and also portrays the struggles of support groups fighting against the "modern-day Holocaust."

I, who am not well-versed in history, had a vague impression that "in the Tokyo Trial, the victorious countries carried out unjust judgments." However, that impression was completely wrong. Watching the movie "Tokyo Trial Digital Remastered" helped me understand how fairly the Tokyo Trial was conducted.

Our daily lives rely on the electricity generated by nuclear power plants, but the fact remains that no country in the world has yet decided on a final disposal site for nuclear waste. Based on the movie "Journey to the Safest Place on Earth," learn about the history of the issue of "nuclear waste" and the struggle of people who are confronting it.
