0The Godfather of St. Petersburg
In 2025, Vladimir Putin had already been in power for a quarter of a century. But how did his career begin? The documentary The Godfather of St. Petersburg takes viewers back to the 1990s—to a city marked by chaos, violence, and corruption. As deputy mayor, Putin forged close ties with intelligence services, businessmen, and notorious figures from the underworld. Out of these networks emerged the power structure that continues to define Russia today. Based on exclusive documents, eyewitness accounts, and previously unpublished material, the film reconstructs Putin’s rise and the creation of a system in which loyalty reigns supreme and criticism can be dangerous.

0Biathlon Nation – One Team. One Mission
Germany loves biathlon – and you’ve never been this close to the stars. The documentary series accompanies them through a dramatic year and shows tears, pressure, and emotional moments from the inner workings of the team. It tells of fierce competition and the struggle to return to the top of the world in 2024/25. The camera is there when there are arguments, laughter, and celebrations behind the scenes – as in the case of Franziska Preuß’s spectacular overall World Cup title.
