RTD online - Television live

RTD Live Stream

RTD is the documentary channel of the RT network, broadcasting documentary films and series about Russia and the world around the clock. Created as the non-fiction sister channel of RT, its territory is the real world - documentary films made by the channel's own crews and acquired from independent filmmakers, telling stories from Russia and far beyond its borders.

Viewers follow RTD for documentary premieres, festival films and investigative series - the stories the news only touches, told at documentary length.

RT's Documentary Arm

The channel's own crews produce documentary premieres for the evening grid, while the daytime carries festival documentaries and acquired series from independent filmmakers. The grid moves between social documentaries, history films and nature and travel programs, with themed weekends built around a subject or a region.

Stories Beyond the Headlines

RTD's editorial line is the documentary tradition itself: stories told at length, from the remote corners of Russia to the far side of the world. Its films follow people, places and events the daily news cycle leaves behind - the platform the channel itself describes as documentary film, from Russia and beyond.
