Gangs of El Salvador [full documentary]

A documentary about El Salvador and the gangs inhabiting it.

El Salvador is set to eclipse Honduras as the country with the highest homicide rate in the world. ​There have already been over 5,700 murders this year in a country with a population of just over six million. El Salvador’s murder rate is now the highest it’s been since the end of the country’s brutal civil war — there is on average ​around ​one murder an hour. The staggering death toll follows the breakdown of a truce between powerful, rival gangs and the government. Police and military are now combatting the gangs head-on ​and, as part of its so-called "iron fist" strategy, gang members are ​being ​charged​ with a new crime — membership of a terrorist organization. VICE News correspondent Danny Gold headed to El Salvador to investigate what many are now calling a war between the street gangs and the government.

The Story Behind Neil Armstrong [Documentary]

 A video you should watch to know about the first man to step on the moon Neil Armstrong. This is his story

The man who took that first historical step and said the famous words was astronaut Neil Armstrong as he stepped cautiously from the lunar lander onto the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. An estimated 500 million people on earth either watched the event live on TV or listened to it on the radio. The lunar landing was a huge international event both scientifically and politically, it gave the United States a much needed boost of morale as the war in Vietnam was turning into a complete quagmire. The political will behind the success of the NASA program was President Kennedy. His unconditional dedication to the space exploration program was only partially motivated by scientific purposes.It was also very much in the geopolitical context & logic of the cold war with the Soviets. In the late 1950′s to the early 1960′s, the USSR was ahead of America in term of their own space program, and JFK did not want the Soviets to keep this technological edge. One can hear this cold war sub-text even in some recent statements from astronauts: “ That was a proud moment to be a military person and to salute the US flag on the surface of the moon.” recalled astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the 2ND man to ever step on the moon after Neil Armstrong. Aldrin added: “ What I want to remember most is the glance between Neil and myself, with the engine shutoff, just that second after we touched down, because we had just completed the most critical door opening for space exploration in all of humanity.” Unfortunately for NASA, July 20TH 1969 remains the high point of the space exploration program. Some astronauts are even saying today that we might have gone to the wrong planet by picking the Moon instead of Mars. What has been lacking for the past 40 years is the political will to build on the extraordinary success that was the Apollo program. After years of neglect, President Obama has the intention to put back more focus on NASA and the space exploration program again, however the current 6 billion a year space exploration budget seems to be insufficient to generate any real progress in exploring the “final frontier”.

The Battle for Iraq: Shia Militias vs. the Islamic State

 A documentary you should watch to know about the armed conflict in Iraq where forces of Shia Muslims wage war against IS.

Last summer, the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) swept from Syria into northern Iraq, routing Iraqi security forces and seizing the city of Mosul. Soon afterward, the group declared the establishment of a dubious "caliphate" in the area it controls and rebranded itself the Islamic State. With Iraq's army weakened and radical militants advancing on Baghdad, the country's Iran-backed Shia militias — which have their own history of sectarian abuses — fought back, halting the Islamic State's progress. The militias have successfully combated Islamic State fighters on the ground with the assistance of air strikes from a US-led military coalition. But their growing influence within Iraq's government amid accusations that they have harmed Sunnis in areas that they control has led many to fear that the militias threaten the country's fragile sectarian and political balance. VICE News traveled to Iraq in December to witness firsthand how Shia militias are taking the fight to the Islamic State, and to document the fallout of their controversial rise to power.
