Oligarques, le gang de Poutine - Season 1

Season 1

This investigation behind the scenes of Russian power tells the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of the oligarchs who seized control of the hydrocarbons before falling under the yoke of the new master of the Kremlin. From the fall of the USSR to the war in Ukraine, Jérôme Fritel and Marc Roche (Les gangsters de la finance, Goldman Sachs – La banque qui dirigeant le monde) decipher a relentless system serving the expansionist ambitions of Vladimir Putin, the oligarch in chief. The colossal financial windfall that black gold provided to his clan allowed him to satisfy his great ambition: to infiltrate and enslave a blind and complacent West to restore the greatness of Russia.

Au service de la guerre

The construction of a second gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, should allow Germany to double its imports. But during the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the West did an about-face. The United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions against Russian businessmen, banks and companies. Putin nevertheless managed to circumvent these measures. Having become pariahs in the West, the oligarchs were forced to return to Russia to be closer to the master of the Kremlin.

Storage Wars

Storage Wars

Storage Wars follows professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure. Part gamblers, part detectives, these auction pros have found everything from coffins to the world's most valuable comic book collection, paying as little as ten dollars for items valued in the millions.

Each episode of Storage Wars follows a group of bidders as they get a quick peek inside the units, aided only by the beam of a flashlight. They then must assess on the spot if the unit is worth a bid and how high they will actually go to grasp the gold. The high-stakes fun begins as we see if the resulting buy is full of mostly trash... or true treasure.
