The film starts with Melia Zreiq, an old woman from Eilaboun, saying: "I hope God will bring peace to this land, and let the peoples live together - a good life. I hope there will be peace". Historian Ilan Pappe talks about Plan Dalet, a plan that David Ben-Gurion and the Haganah leaders in Palestine worked out during autumn 1947 to spring 1948. Pappe discusses the details of the plan, and how was it carried out. On October 30, 1948, the Israeli army entered Eilaboun at approximately 5 AM. They then forced the villagers together in the main square of the village. They chose seventeen young men. Five of them were taken as human shield, and the rest of the twelve were killed, each in a different location. This all happened after the expulsion of the rest of the village to Lebanon, where they became refugees after a five days forced march to Lebanon. After a United Nations peace keeper observed and reported Israel was forced to allow the people back.

Dans les bars de Tel Aviv, la nuit, la réalisatrice demande à des jeunes Juifs s'ils auraient des relations sexuelles avec des Arabes, et à des jeunes Arabes s'ils feraient l'amour avec des Juifs. Chacun donne son avis, avec plus ou moins d'explications, sur le symbole que cela peut représenter pour eux (beaucoup l'ont déjà fait) ou au contraire leur refus. Des jeunes issus de familles mixtes (un parent juif, l'autre arabe) sont également interviewés. Le film recueille aussi les témoignages du journaliste Gideon Levy et de l'acteur Juliano Mer-Khamis, de mère juive et de père arabe, assassiné en 2011 par des Palestiniens à Jénine.

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 2011, protests against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad turned into a violent conflict between the Syrian government and revolutionaries. As the revolution continues, wealthy Syrian socialite-turned-activist Razan teams up with Syrian-American lobbyist Mouaz to forge a link between the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and the West. However, their goal of a free and democratic Syria is put under strain as the revolution in Syria turns from bad to worse, and Western governments prove reluctant to get involved, despite the growing humanitarian crisis.
