The infamous retreat from Moscow, known as the Berezina debacle, marked one of the most catastrophic military failures in history. As Napoleon’s once-mighty army was decimated by hunger, disease, and brutal Russian forces, the French emperor’s dreams of European domination crumbled. The Battle of Berezina, where the French army faced annihilation, became a symbol of the end of Napoleon’s reign. Forced to retreat across the frozen river, the French soldiers faced their worst nightmare—savagery, starvation, and freezing conditions, with no escape in sight. With every step, they were driven further into despair. How did one of the greatest military minds fail so spectacularly? What went wrong, and why did Napoleon’s genius turn into folly? This is the story of a catastrophic defeat that reshaped Europe’s future.

As Facebook (now Meta) marks its 20th anniversary, this film uncovers the secrets behind Mark Zuckerberg, the enigmatic architect of the digital age. At just 23, he became the youngest billionaire in history. Inspired by the Roman Empire, Zuckerberg didn’t just connect people—he colonized half the planet with Facebook. While he championed “radical transparency” and free speech, his empire thrives on surveillance capitalism. From Trump’s election and Brexit to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the Capitol riots, Facebook’s controversies have shaped political and social discourse worldwide. Today, with the metaverse floundering, has Zuckerberg lost control of his creation? Using the 'Zuckerberg Files'—a treasure trove of his posts, speeches, and Senate hearings—alongside insights from tech experts and Silicon Valley veterans, this film dissects the psyche of a man whose platform reshaped humanity. Is he a visionary genius or a tech tyrant? The answers might surprise you.

We are at the heart of the first "total war": in terms of territorial scale, the number of troops involved, front-line casualties, civil atrocities, and social and ideological mobilization. What is for the French merely a routine campaign quickly turns into a patriotic war for the Russians. After a series of crucial victories, the French reach Moscow. Napoleon, who had dreamed of a triumphant entrance, discovers a city abandoned by its inhabitants, left open to the invader. The glorious march of the Grand Army leads them straight into a "labyrinth of fire," a deadly trap that marks a turning point in the Russian campaign.

He first gained fame for taming Germany’s hyperinflation in the 1920s. But by 1934, Schacht’s talents were directed toward a new goal: rearming Germany. To achieve this, he masterminded the creation of MEFO bills—a shadowy financial scheme that secretly fueled Hitler’s military ambitions. The MEFO was a fictional company with no employees, factories, or production, backed by major players like Krupp and Siemens. Instead of official Reichsmarks, firms producing arms for the regime were paid in these state-guaranteed bills of exchange, which acted as a parallel currency. This ingenious yet controversial system financed the Nazi war machine while masking the true scale of Germany’s military spending.
