Why would a man in India have three wives at once? To fetch water. That's exactly how many spouses the Indian Sakram has. Such stories are not a strange local tradition; they are a consequence of a massive disaster. In some rural areas of India, people get literally just a few liters of water for an entire week. Moreover, it is so expensive that after buying it, many have no money left for food. How do people survive when every sip costs a fortune? On the International Day of Climate Action, watch more about this in our video and the film 'H2Woe'. en.rtdoc.tv/films/762-h2woe #RTDoc #india #water #climate #disaster #survival #tradition

Occupation, American-style. On May 15, 1972, the United States returned Okinawa to Japan — formally. However, the U.S. kept its military bases on the island. Since then, reports of murders, rapes, and robberies committed by U.S. Marines have continuously emerged from the area — perpetrated by the ‘elite’ of America’s armed forces. Local residents regularly hold protests against the American military presence. In March, at the latest rally, two people were killed, including a high school girl. At one of these rallies in 2023, a film crew from RT.Doc was present. Watch the video. #RTDoc #okinawa #occupation #protests #military #justice #documentary #uspresence

This film ‘Iranian Style: The Art of Being Yourself’ is an exploration of how Western sanctions have influenced the development of Iran’s fashion industry. An RT film crew traveled to Tehran and met the people shaping Iranian fashion despite restrictions. The father of Iran’s modeling business, Amir Zobde, founded the first agency in 2011. It employs ‘advertising faces’ — a term used in Iran rather than ‘models’. Sambat Hakupyan tailors suits using techniques from the Safavid era of the 16th to18th centuries. Designer Nazanin Hariri creates collections based on ornaments from the Saadabad Historical Museum, and her pieces are already worn in Dubai, London, and Berlin. Head coverings have long since become a true art form in Iran. The everyday ones are plain and modest, while festive ones are adorned with lush floral patterns and gold embroidery. And on the streets, a colorful crowd mixes traditional and modern dress. The jewel of Iranian fashion design is the ‘Irandokht’ dress, or ‘Daughter of Iran’. In a single garment, it showcases patterns from the Isfahan region along the hem and those from the Shiraz region in the center, while combining ornaments from several eras. Though Western sanctions may have excluded Iranian designers from the world’s catwalks, they have also given them impetus to create a unique fashion all their own. Watch the premiere of the film by Elena Norkunaite, Ekaterina Kozhakina, and Kirill Puzyrny ‘Iranian Style: The Art of Being Yourself’. #RTDoc #fashion #Iran #art #culture #design #style #premiere
