- "The MERCYnaries of WAR" is the third full length documentary by "The NO-MAD chronicles" series, filmed and produced by the European filmmaker Mihail "No-MAD" Kunchev. It tells the story of Taz - a former British airborne, French foreign legion veteran and a volunteer in the war against ISIS, who decided to spend all his money, time and passion to serve those who served and shepherd them on their way out of the horrors of war.
- My name is Mihail and for the past twelve years I've been telling other peoples life stories in the biggest reality shows in my country - Bulgaria. I am a father, singer, animal rights activist, martial artist and a cinematographer on his journey to explore the spirit of everyday fighters around the world. My guide on this adventure is the original BJJ nomad himself Dimitrios Tsitos - a lifeguard, ex-professional swimmer and BJJ black belt, who spent last 10 years traveling around the world teaching, competing and enjoying the lifestyle of a BJJ nomad, visiting more than 60 countries and never staying more than six months at one place. In the next year our home will be the dojos of our friends around the world and the ground under the stars. And don't believe'em when they say "nomad" means you have no home. I say "nomad" means you're home everywhere you meet new friends. This is the "BJJ NO-MAD".
- 'Contractor: The Brother's Keeper' is the pilot episode of a new streaming documentary series 'THE NO-MAD CHRONICLES' by the European documentary filmmaker Mihail Kunchev. For the past fourteen years Mihail has been in charge of the biggest prime time TV productions in Bulgaria and the Balkans, but in 2014 he decided to quit his job as an executive producer and started travelling around the world following the way of the warrior and filming a documentary series about it, called BJJ NO-MAD (www.bjjnomad.com). 'Being a documentary filmmaker is like being a soldier.' - says Mihail - 'You fight for what you believe in. You hold your ground no matter what and you do it, because you believe that what you're doing is making the world a better place for your kids." For two years the BJJ NO-MAD crew travelled from the Balkans to the Middle East, releasing four full length documentaries, telling the inspiring stories of the local warriors - a multiple times world sambo champion, who was stabbed in the heart, survived and became an MMA world champion; a Wall street golden boy who quit his job to become a capoeira instructor on an exotic island; an UFC fighter who dedicated his life to God and witnessed a true miracle and many more... Mihail's new documentary centers around a Bulgarian special forces sniper who lost his closest brothers in arms in a terrorist attack on his very first deployment in Kerbala, Iraq. Now as a private military contractor he is using his hard-learned lessons and tradecraft to protect instead of closing to engage. You will hear his story in his own words as he tries to dispel the myth of the trained-killer and paid mercenary in a thoughtful examination of his fascinating life and deeply held motivations. Two days after the filming of the documentary concluded a suicide bomber exploded just twenty meters from the soldier in a terrorist attack in an airport in Istanbul, Turkey. He managed to survive again and saved the life of the military merchant he was traveling with. Again - he was his brother's keeper. "Every time they ask me the same questions: How many guys did you shoot? How many have you killed? How many 'frags' have you collected? But this is not important to me. Yes, I was trained to execute special operations, but that does not make me a killing machine. Not at all. I am not a killer - I am defender"
