“…Complimenti per il premio Nobel, come Michail Gorbachev e Barak Obama è in buona compagnia…” Le parole ma soprattutto l’espressione di Vladimir Putin nei confronti del direttore di Novaya Gazeta Sergey Sokolov non sono così differenti se non meno visibili del potere dei media nel resto del mondo. 138 giorni prima dell’inizio dell’invasione della Russia in Ucraina, la censura e la chiusura della maggior parte dei media indipendenti. Un documentario ordinariamente reale in una parte ma nello stesso potere di non dire. (m.g.)

Synopsis

Putin had been preparing his country for the big war against its own people long before it started. Since 2012, a series of repressive laws were passed, labelling everyone who publicly disagreed with the official narrative as „foreign agent“. In these circumstances, a group of independent Russian media and activists are trying to resist and continue their work. Right after the invasion of Ukraine their work becomes virtually impossible. The journalists and activists are threatened with prison sentences and forced to make difficult moral choices in the midst of total war censorship: should they stay or leave the country, should they go to jail or save their team, should they adapt to the new reality or stay true to their principals and close their media?

Shot during one decisive year, before and after the invasion, the new film by fearless filmmaker Askold Kurov who also produced the film portrays the last defenders of democracy in Russia and gives a glimpse of hope for another future.
