Episode 01: Darkness

The episode traces the violent rise of communist regimes and their subsequent establishment of some of the most repressive political systems known in human history.

These regimes aimed to reshape entire societies, resulting in the deprivation of fundamental human rights for citizens, including dignity, property, and, in extreme cases, their very lives.

Viewers witness firsthand the unimaginable suffering experienced by those living under the communist regimes and the unspeakable horrors faced by those who dared to resist their rule.

The implementation of the communist doctrine involved the use of ruthless strategies and tactics, leaving families, individuals, and entire communities devastated and their lives forever altered by the regime's unyielding cruelty and inhumanity.
