CPH:DOX Review: A House Made of Splinters
While the war in Ukraine has rightly dominated global newsfeeds for the past month, it’s easy to forget that it actually started back in 2014. When we talk about the victims of such conflicts, thoughts naturally turn to the military loses and civilian deaths. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. The longer …
CPH:DOX Review: After A Revolution
After coming to power on a platform of socialism and nationalism, Muammar Gaddafi ruled Libya with an iron fist for four decades. An anti-imperialist, he started out on a mission to unite the Arab and African worlds, but a determination to reform eventually morphed into a personality cult. Power corrupted and he became a highly …
CPH:DOX Review: The Caviar Connection
Even today with the aid of a global community and the internet, many of the former Soviet republics are still a mystery to many in the Western world. This is particularly the case with regimes that have kept close ties with Moscow. While they’re ostensibly democracies on the surface it doesn’t take much digging to …
CPX:DOX Review: Into the Ice
While the climate crisis may have been knocked off the frontpages by other global events, it has not, in any sense, gone away. Indeed, worrying news stories of record temperatures coming out of both Antarctica and the Arctic should cause everyone to pause and think. The difficulty of collecting accurate scientific data in order to …

One of the biggest talking points and political challenges created for European governments by daesh and their attempt to make a caliphate is what to do with those citizens who travelled to Syria (and other countries) to join the group.

CPH:DOX Review: The Last Shelter
Hundreds of thousands of Africans make the perilous journey from their hometown toward the promised land of Europe every single year. To a large extent, they follow well-established and frequently trodden paths. These periodically shift due to wars, conflicts and crackdowns. Today, many of these routes follow the same footsteps as the sub-Saharan caravan networks …
CPH:DOX Review: Holgut
Extending east from the Ural Mountains until it hits the sea and at over 5 million square miles Siberia accounts from almost three-quarters of Russia. It’s also one of the most sparsely populated regions on the planet. This is largely due to the climate, specifically the very short summers and long hard winters, when temperatures …
CPH:DOX Review: Life of Ivanna
It’s tough being a single mother wherever you are. Juggling work, home and the children. Always having to look after someone else. Always on high alert for the next problem or potential disaster lurking just round the corner. It’s hard enough doing that in a modern city with plenty of space and as much money …
CPH:DOX Review: United States vs. Reality Winner
America prides itself as being ‘the land of the free, and the home of the brave’ and yet when it comes to exposing government cover-ups and corruption freedom of speech is often a long way away. There have been a number of high-profile whistleblowers already this century, the most famous being Edward Snowden, but they’re …
