- Throughout history, Vikings waged war from the seas, notoriously ruthless and with their own set of rules.
- In Europe, a new generation of neo-Nazis is radicalizing and carrying out targeted attacks on Muslims, Jews, migrants and leftists. Their goal is white supremacy. They organize themselves in online forums, run dating sites only for whites, or parade through small German towns like Wunsiedel in Bavaria every year with burning torches. They make no secret of their contempt for democratic institutions and want to specifically infiltrate the police and army. The ultra-right are no longer just agitating at the regulars' table, but are also showing an increasing willingness to use violence. In France, security authorities are also monitoring right-wing extremist groups. In 2022, French media revealed that there is a right-wing network within the French army that is openly committed to Nazi ideology. The racially motivated murder of Federico Aramburú in 2022 or the case of the right-wing agitator Daniel Conversano put the authorities on alert.
- A look at ordinary people in North Korea. Are they puppets of their totalitarian government or just everyday people trying to live their lives? Maybe, a little bit of both.
- Professor Bettany Hughes leads a forensic investigation into some of the most enduring mysteries of the ancient world and brings viewers face-to-face with the extraordinary people of the past she unearths along the way.
- There are approximately 60 million evangelicals in the United States. They represent by far the largest religious group and should not be underestimated politically as voters. They take the Bible literally and believe that God created the world in six days, that the world only existed for 6,000 years, and they dismiss scientific knowledge as lies. They fear Muslims and atheists, homosexuality and permissive life. Alcohol, abortion and sex before marriage are taboo. In large parts of the United States, secularism, the separation of church and state, are being removed more and more. In the countryside, heavily armed paramilitary Christian religious warriors use rapid-fire weapons to train the martial emergency and the fight against anyone who does not fit into their retrograde worldview. At superficially harmless-looking music festivals, masses of young people, many of whom are still minors, are indoctrinated with Christian fundamentalism. The filmmakers of the documentary give a frightening insight into a strange world and show a supposedly modern country, in which large parts of the population have a level of intellectual development as in the Middle Ages and are as reactionary in their worldview as in Islamist theocracies.
- The decision not to extradite Julian Assange to the United States is unlikely to be the end of his long struggle. For the past 10 years, Premiere Lignes has investigated Assange and the WikiLeaks network. In their first film in 2011, they interviewed Julian Assange and his team and profiled these new transparency activists who aim to disrupt citizens' relationship with information. In 2013, they met Julian Assange again, interviewing him in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he described a society petrified by authoritarian excesses that he felt obliged to confront. At the time, Assange had no idea that he was going to spend seven years between four walls, watched by surveillance cameras. During the past decade, Wikileaks has come under constant pressure from the U.S. government. But the site continued to publish compromising documents that illuminate and shape our world. In 2016, its interventions in the US elections played a crucial role in the election of Donald Trump. In 2017, it tried to similarly influence the French election. Throughout all these years, the Première Lignes team continued to investigate, regularly filming new interviews. They met with Julian Assange's father, who regularly goes to Belmarsh prison near London, where his son is imprisoned. They also spoke to his lawyers who denounce Assange's arbitrary detention. Today, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are at a turning point in their history. For his detractors, Assange is a spy and traitor who deserves his fate. For his supporters, the extradition request is a serious and unprecedented attack on the freedom of information, protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Who's to say The Guardian, Der Spiegel or Le Monde could not also be prosecuted for collaborating with WikiLeaks?

- "The case Susanne Albrecht" - the many lives of a RAF-terrorist.
- China's controversial one child policy may have been abandoned but the forced abortions and sterilizations and harsh punishments for unauthorized pregnancies continue. It remains illegal to have a child outside wedlock, become pregnant under the age of 20 or have more than two children. China holds the world record in abortions with more than 30,000 carried out every day. This unique investigation, filmed over two years, reveals the human cost of China's strict family planning policies. We follow three women who try and resist and witness on camera the brutality of the system. Meili decides to go into hiding, leaving her village and family, to carry her 'illegal' pregnancy to term. Xia, abducted from her home at 6 am and forcibly sterilized, is bringing a historic legal case to hold the state accountable while lawyer Master Lu is prepared to risk prison to defend the victims of birth control.
- December 2, 2010: The Gulf state of Qatar is surprisingly chosen to host the 2022 World Cup, although many signs spoke against it. The football world is amazed: no football culture, a precarious human rights situation, poor infrastructure, hot desert climate. Who is voting for a World Cup that would endanger the lives of millions of fans and players? Rumors of corruption quickly surfaced. The autocratic state is very rich thanks to its deposits of fossil fuels. Bribes, collusion, contract awards: How far did the small Gulf Emirate go to get the World Cup? The research of the documentary film team leads to the trail of secret financial agreements between the emirate and large international companies, especially from France. The reporters get access to confidential documents, indications of corruption, but also violations of workers' labor rights on the World Cup construction sites. From France to Qatar, from Switzerland to Africa, the dark side of this World Cup will be revealed.
- On November 30, 1989, Alfred Herrhausen, CEO of Deutsche Bank, set off in his armored limousine for Frankfurt. At 8:34 a.m., the attack took place. Herrhausen, a top manager with threat level one, was killed instantly. Near the scene of the crime: paper with RAF emblem. Hidden in the bushes: the detonating mechanism of a bomb. An unprecedented, technically sophisticated attack. To this day, the case raises questions: Who were the perpetrators? Why was Herrhausen targeted? To what extent are international terrorist groups involved in the case?
