"The Game”, full length documentary movie, was shot between summer 2017 and January 2018. The story brings up the problem of invisible deaths and forgotten EU external border zones in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosna and Herzegovina where according to official statistics more than 16 000 (Serbia, Bosna and Herzegovina) live in inhumane conditions and keep on trying their luck in crossing from the EU countries, using services of local and international criminal networks. The team managed to collect rare reports about 8 years Madina’s Husseini death, which unlike many others has been well – documented trough family testimony, as well as the court and police reports. As the migrant crisis continues for fourth year in a row, despite many media reports about the deaths en routes, nobody can precisely say what the death rate is or to propose a more suitable solution. On the other hand the violence against the migrants is on the rise, while criminal networks are organized better than ever in delivering efficient smuggling services, while the migrants keep on trying to reach their points of destinations somewhere in the reach EU countries. To them, the fight to get across every border into the EU is called “The Game”.

Studenti mediálních studií mají v 11. patře na Jarově k dispozici televizní studio, kde si mohou vyzkoušet vedení rozhovorů a moderování. V rámci novinářského certifikátu natáčejí ve druhém a třetím ročníku vlastní reportáže. Ale stejně návštěva "opravdové televize", kde mohou sledovat vznik vysílání v přímém přenosu, je každoročně zážitkem, který se hluboce zapíše.
Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP
5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
