Watch Jumbo/Toto, Stories of an Elephant (2016) Online Free
From Germany to Italy, the United States to Île-de-France, Jumbo/Toto, Stories About an Elephant shadows the itinerary of a single forgotten animal, an African elephant doubly-named Jumbo/Toto. Jumbo, as he was called on German colonial ships,at the Amerikakai port of Hamburg, and in Carl Hagenbeck's zoos; Toto, as he'd come to be known with great fame in fascist Italy. An urban investigation and an adventure film, a ballet of flora and fauna and pavement and sea, Jumbo/Toto, Stories About an Elephant is a modern epic of the joy and pain of the 20th century set in what still remains strange and unknown: the 21st century, and the solitude of telling a story.

From Land to Sea
The documentary explores the intimate and political story of the participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian and non-violent mission that in September 2025 attempted to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, amid the siege and genocide perpetrated by Israel. From the harbour to departure, the film recounts the preparation of the largest civilian humanitarian mission by sea organised for Palestine. Alongside the mission, the Italian mobilisations that emerged around the call “Blocchiamo tutto” (Let's block everything), launched by the dockworkers involved in the Flotilla, come to light. Amid drone attacks, demonstrations, rallies and institutional promises withdrawn when needed, the journey becomes a concrete metaphor for the will of peoples to overcome the limits and hypocrisies of the international community.

I Don’t Have the Codes
This is the story of an ordinary man transformed by history. A simple baker from Besançon who became a political symbol of resistance. That of a France that knows how much it needs others to grow. Of working classes rejecting the siren calls of populism. He says: "I was nothing and I became a monster" to express the vertigo of his transformation. And so the baker entered politics, visited the United States in the footsteps of Martin Luther King, brought aid to the Ukrainians, and ran for legislative elections. Fearless. Fighting with all his heart. It is this inspiring, touching, and funny human epic that Pedro da Fonseca's camera followed closely, capturing his doubts, his hesitations, and his emotions.
