Founded in the early days of still open source internet, Couchsurfing rejected capitalist norms and promised a revolution in the way we travel and connect with others around the globe. In 2020, in stark contrast to its long held values, the service implemented a mandatory access fee, alienating many of its users and leaving longtime Couchsurfers wondering: is our global revolution still alive? A mini-doc by Matt Dworzańczyk Produced for NBClx by Etherium Sky Media The Gentle Barn rescues farm animals with stories of past abuse and hardship. The animals go through novel forms of rehabilitation, such as acupuncture and reiki in order to, afterwards, offer support to humans struggling with mental and physical issues and life challenges.

Contact: info@EtheriumSky.com In the heart of arch-Catholic Poland there's a small Muslim village with a picturesque wooden mosque. The residents of Kruszyniany are Lipka Tatars, a centuries-old ethno-cultural minority. Originally founded in 1941 in old Yugoslavia, Belgrade's "Perfumeria Sava" survives as a now fourth-generation family business until today. Going against modern trends, the perfumery does not use brands for their fragrances, instead providing unique personalized fragrances to each of their customers. But in a time of globalization, can this unique, 100-year-old small business compete against large-scale producers and can it survive in a time of pandemic restrictions and global uncertainty? So-called 'LGBT-free' zones have made Poland the laughing stock of Europe. But it's no joke for LGBTQ+ people who face physical attack and verbal abuse - even from their own president. Activists are now leading a fightback that is showing signs of success.
