Irina Shikhman presents exclusive, in-depth interviews with the most intriguing guests. Discover profound questions, captivating stories, and thoughtful documentary moments that linger long after watching.
We’ve all seen the movies: marble statues, heroic speeches, and ripped gladiators. But the reality was much… grittier.
Did you know that Roman politics was basically the birthplace of modern "fake news" and PR stunts? Or that the city’s skyline was defined more by crumbling tenements than grand temples?
We sat down with Professor Gregory Aldrete to uncover the real Rome. No filters, no Hollywood glitz—just the raw truth about how the greatest empire in history actually functioned.
"I don't talk to my brother (parents, friend...) anymore because of his political views." We hear this all the time now. The world feels more divided than ever. Left vs. Right. Us vs. Them.
But how far can this division go?
In Rwanda, it took only a few months for "Us vs. Them" to turn into "Kill or Be Killed." The scariest part of this documentary isn't the violence. It’s the fact that the killers weren't soldiers. They were teachers, doctors, and neighbours.
How thin is the line between "civilized society" and chaos?
For decades, his theory about "mature" vs. "immature" pleasure made millions of women feel "broken" or inadequate.
But modern evolutionary psychology has a different answer. We sat down with expert Robert King to debunk the biggest myths about female anatomy and to find out: Does the female orgasm actually have a biological purpose, or is it just a "happy accident" of evolution?
The answer might change how you see intimacy FOREVER.
We all know that the "Pleasure Gap" exists, but do you realize how huge it is?
According to recent studies, straight men reach orgasm during intimacy 95% of the time.
What is the percentage for straight women in the same situation? 👇
The correct answer is shocking. And the reason isn't just biology. We break down the science, the myths, and the evolution of pleasure in our new documentary
It’s official: We have a problem! Studies show that in heterosexual relationships, men reach the "finish line" 95% of the time. For women, it’s only 65%.
Why does this gap exist? Is it biology, evolution, or just bad education? In our new documentary, we explore the history of female pleasure, debunk Freud’s biggest myths, and find out what science really says about the "Big O."
In today’s Russia, private life is no longer private.
Simple gestures, personal messages, and quiet moments can attract attention — and consequences.
Hunting the Rainbow explores how personal relationships have become a matter of surveillance, pressure, and control, and how the space for intimacy is rapidly shrinking.
What once felt ordinary now requires caution. Visibility turns into risk. Silence becomes a strategy.
Set against the political shift marked by the November 30, 2023 ruling of the Russian Supreme Court, the film reflects a broader transformation — as practices once confined to certain regions spread across the country.
This is a film about the moment when hiding becomes routine, and privacy itself turns into something fragile.
Hunting the Rainbow was shortlisted for ARTDOCFEST 2026, one of the leading documentary film festivals in the region.

Freud owes women an apology!
For decades, his theory about "mature" vs. "immature" pleasure made millions of women feel "broken" or inadequate.
But modern evolutionary psychology has a different answer. We sat down with expert Robert King to debunk the biggest myths about female anatomy and to find out: Does the female orgasm actually have a biological purpose, or is it just a "happy accident" of evolution?
