- After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Mao Tsetung established a system of labor camps for systematic repression, known as Laogai, an abbreviation for "reform through labor". In such camps, forced labor and physical and mental torture were used to bring about a so-called mental reform, re-education in the spirit of the Chinese Communist Party. Millions of Chinese were affected. Many were executed. In hundreds of camps, the Party took advantage of the prisoners' free labor to build the economy. Self-criticism and denunciation were often the only way to escape martyrdom. Successive waves of purges culminated in the Cultural Revolution, which saw massive human rights abuses, political assassinations, massacres, and exiles in remote parts of the country. Using unreleased archive footage, the documentary tells the story of the invention, development and improvement of China's totalitarian system of surveillance and repression up to the present day, never told before.
- The growth of the world's narcotics trafficking system has mirrored the growth of the world's economic system in many surprising ways over the past two-and-a-half centuries.

- It's been thirty years since the massacre at Tianamen Square in Beijing, where upwards of a few thousand students were killed in the military crackdown on their protests, the massacre which the Communist Party of China refuses to talk about or even acknowledge as having happened. With new official documents coming to light as well as the surfacing of other eyewitness video accounts, the seven weeks of the protest leading to the massacre are dissected in detail, it a time when China seemed to be on the brink of a new direction to possible democracy. While many factors led to the ultimate outcome, the core issues seem to be the students being unable to convince even the reformers within the Communist Party that they wanted a dialogue as the potential future leaders of the Party rather than wanting a regime change (i.e. to overthrow the existing government), while the Party leaders seemed to focus in on one word in a report - turmoil - they wanting to avoid long term turmoil with the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s still relatively fresh in their minds.

In germ since the COP21, an informal international climate links different European protest movements: Extinction Rebellion, Ende Gelände, Alternatiba, ANV-COP21.
