Polar Bears Never Cry (Yogzatot Video 012)
Drowning Polar Bears became one of the symbols of climate change, so we decided to find out what really happens with these magnificent creatures and created this video to share with other interested in.
The key danger posed by global warming to Polar Bears is malnutrition or starvation due to habitat loss. Polar bears hunt seals from a platform of sea ice. Rising temperatures cause the sea ice to melt earlier in the year, driving the bears to shore before they have built sufficient fat reserves to survive the period of scarce food in the late summer and early fall. Reduction in sea-ice cover also forces bears to swim longer distances, which further depletes their energy stores and occasionally leads to drowning. Thinner sea ice tends to deform more easily, which appears to make it more difficult for polar bears to access seals. Insufficient nourishment leads to lower reproductive rates in adult females and lower survival rates in cubs and juvenile bears, in addition to poorer body condition in bears of all ages.
Other risks to the polar bear include pollution in the form of toxic contaminants, conflicts with shipping, stresses from recreational polar-bear watching, oil and gas exploration and development, as well “potential risk of over-harvest” through legal and illegal hunting. In this video we decided not to use graphic images of trophy hunters from The Humane Society of the United States but still must inform you that about 500 Polar Bears are killed by American and Canadian hunters every year.
In this video we used footage from BBC documentaries “Blue Planet” and “Polar Bear” (Wildlife Special), as well CBC Doc Zone documentary “Battle For The Arctic”. As audio we used Eric Polaire song “Polar Bear” in remix from Michel Cleis.

Last Whale Standing (Yogzatot Video 011)
We created our video “Last Whale Standing” in order to help spread the word about killings of hundreds of innocent whales.
Video consists of three different parts so please watch till the end. In first part we showed you different kinds of whales which humans killed for thousands of years. In second part we showed you how they kill whales today in our modern world. And third part dedicated to people who try to stop slaughter of innocent whales.
We want also to emphasize that whales are killed not only by Japanese whalers, but also commercially in Norway and Iceland, as well in USA, Russia, Greenland, Canada, Bequia, Faroe Islands, Indonesia and illegally in many others countries such as South Korea and Philippines.
If you want to find more information about this theme you can read our series of posts Whales, Whalers & Anti-Whaling Movement.
In this video we used BBC documentary series “Blue Planet“, Animal Planet recent documentary “Whale Wars” and a lot of video from YouTube. And for the music we used song “Last Man Standing” from British electronic music group Hybrid.
We hope “Last Whale Standing” will help you to understand sufferings of this magnificent creatures and we hope you share this video with your friends.

Pingvin Revolution – Ultraviolence In Riga (Yogzatot Video 009)
Riga, Latvia. 13.01.2009.
A peaceful demonstration in Doma square with 10000 participants against Latvian government’s mishandling of economic crisis and poor economic situation transformed into aggression and all-out riot shortly after demonstration’s official end.
About 1000 people tried to storm Saeima (Latvia’s government headquarters) and attacked riot police with cobblestones and bottles. Police cars were set ablaze and turned over, shops were looted and windows smashed.
Police responded to crowd’s actions with truncheons, tear gas and firing rubber bullets. For first time in independent Latvia’s history police declared high alert in capital. There were 106 people arrested and for 51 people (among them – policemen) medical care was needed.
Riot has been described as one of the worst from 1991’s collapse of Soviet Union.
In this video we used song from HeartsRevolution “Ultraviolence” (Streetlife DJs Remix).
