Once Brothers (Serbian: Једном браћа/Jednom braća, Croatian: Jednom braća) is a 2010 sports documentary film written and directed by Michael Tolajian. It was co-produced by ESPN and NBA Entertainment for ESPN's 30 for 30 series.

The film chronicles the relationship of two basketball players from SFR Yugoslavia—Vlade Divac (Serbia) and Dražen Petrović (Croatia). The duo played together on the Yugoslavia national basketball team from 1986 to 1990 and were at one time close friends, but the Yugoslav Wars drove them apart emotionally, as they came from opposing sides. Petrović died in an automobile accident in 1993 before the two could reconcile; much of film focuses on Divac's regret that they were never able to resolve their differences.

Participants in the film include: Toni Kukoč, Dino Rađa, Žarko Paspalj, Clyde Drexler, Danny Ainge, Rick Adelman, Kenny Anderson, Derrick Coleman, Bill Fitch, Larry Bird, Jan Hubbard, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Aleksandar Petrović, Biserka Petrović, etc.

Dans une première partie Red Army traite du recrutement et de la formation des joueurs professionnels de hockey sur glace durant l'ère soviétique. Puis il suit l'histoire de l'équipe nationale dans les années 1980 à travers le parcours des cinq joueurs vedettes de l'époque avec une emphase sur la carrière de Viatcheslav Fetissov le joueur le plus célèbre de cette formation. Tous ces joueurs faisaient partie du club Armée Rouge de Moscou rattaché à l'Armée soviétique. Les thèmes traités dans le documentaire portent sur le poids de la propagande soviétique, le caractère dictatorial des entraineurs mais également sur la finesse du jeu des joueurs soviétiques. Enfin, à travers le destin des joueurs vedettes, il montre les conséquences de la Pérestroïka et de l'éclatement de l'Union soviétique sur le sport professionnel soviétique.

In 2004, the King of Morocco launched an Equity and Reconciliation Commission to investigate state violence during the Years of Lead. For three years, the film follows four families in their search for the truth: Activist, young rebel soldier or simple citizen, either they or their relations were imprisoned in different parts of Morocco. Each person tries to "find out", discover a "reason", to be able to mourn. But forty years later, the state secret finally unveils the existence of another, more intimate secret, the family secret. They all feel the need to reconstruct history and recover their parents, taken from them twice over, once by their disappearance and another by the secret. Choosing between deeply set silences, lies and taboos within and outside the families, over forty years.
