Portrecista (The Portraitist) examines the life and work of Wilhelm Brasse, who had been trained as a portrait photographer at his aunt's studio prior to World War II and passionately loved taking photographs. After his capture and imprisonment by the Nazis at Auschwitz concentration camp in 1940, at the age of 23, he was forced to take "identity pictures" of between approximately 40,000 to 50,000 other inmates between 1940 and 1945. With "courage and skill", documenting "cruelty which goes beyond all words ... for future generations", after his liberation at the end of World War II, Brasse "could not continue with his profession" and would never take another photograph.

Dans une première partie Red Army traite du recrutement et de la formation des joueurs professionnels de hockey sur glace durant l'ère soviétique. Puis il suit l'histoire de l'équipe nationale dans les années 1980 à travers le parcours des cinq joueurs vedettes de l'époque avec une emphase sur la carrière de Viatcheslav Fetissov le joueur le plus célèbre de cette formation. Tous ces joueurs faisaient partie du club Armée Rouge de Moscou rattaché à l'Armée soviétique. Les thèmes traités dans le documentaire portent sur le poids de la propagande soviétique, le caractère dictatorial des entraineurs mais également sur la finesse du jeu des joueurs soviétiques. Enfin, à travers le destin des joueurs vedettes, il montre les conséquences de la Pérestroïka et de l'éclatement de l'Union soviétique sur le sport professionnel soviétique.

In 2011, protests against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad turned into a violent conflict between the Syrian government and revolutionaries. As the revolution continues, wealthy Syrian socialite-turned-activist Razan teams up with Syrian-American lobbyist Mouaz to forge a link between the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and the West. However, their goal of a free and democratic Syria is put under strain as the revolution in Syria turns from bad to worse, and Western governments prove reluctant to get involved, despite the growing humanitarian crisis.
