EndedDocumentary show

Prison Alphabet is a 13-part series by Russian filmmaker Andrey Silvestrov that takes viewers inside the walls of Russia's vast penitentiary system, one of the world's largest. Forty ex-inmates, ranging from political prisoners to officials and thieves, detail their varied experiences behind bars.
Interviewees include Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny's younger brother, Oleg Navalny; Pussy Riot musician Maria Alyokhina; former Yukos oil company executive Vladimir Pereverzin; civil activist Konstantin Kotov; and Uzbek political prisoner Bakhrom Khamroyev.
The 13 episodes evoke the Russian penal system's corruption and brutality, but also reveal its informal code of behavior and its nearly 500,000 inmates' defiant insistence on survival.
Prison vocabulary and customs have permeated ordinary Russian life. To illustrate that connection, each episode is centered around one prison word and introduces viewers to prison slang.

World War II with Tom Hanks

For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. "World War II with Tom Hanks" is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
