I am Max
Chaplin was his apprentice, he was 1st international movie star, rich and adored. Then suddenly Max Linder ended his life side by side with his adored wife. Why?
Only a few people, passionates of the history of cinema, know who Max Linder was. The only noticeable monument named after him is a beautiful cinema in the center of Paris on 24 Boulevard Poissonnière called Max Linder Panorama. But if we ask any of the people attending that cinema where the name comes from, almost no one would be able to answer correctly. If again, we ask the same people, who Charlie Chaplin was, in most cases, they will know the right answer. The presented status quo would be understandable if Max Linder was solely one of many cinema pioneers. However, he was the first international star, earning fortunes in Europe and the USA, venerated by millions of fans on both continents. Charlie Chaplin was the one who learned from Max Linder.

My Friend Terrorist
There is no evidence that Shamil Basajew died, but there are many versions of his death. If he is alive he probably betrayed and “bought” his life in exchange for keeping the secret about the corruption of Russian officials and the mechanisms of their power. If he died, indeed, it was due to a treachery of those whom he trusted the most – his companions who gloriously fight for Chechen independence and Jihad.
The search for the truth reveals the secret world which exists beyond the laws of democratic order: mafia bosses, bandits, fighters, terrorists, Islamic fundamentalists, prophets and shady businessmen.
A man, whose life was overturned by his friendship with Basayev, will look for the Chechen commander. Miroslaw Kuleba, a journalist turned sniper, is capable of getting as closer to the truth than anyone else thanks to the underground Chechen rebels who conduct their own investigation about Shamil.
