ARTICLE 293 / 26' / director Jan Bluz / Poland
Minsk, the capital of Belarus, is the scene of the largest protests in history against reigning President Lukashenko’s dictatorial regime. This film by Polish director Jan Bluz, co-produced with the help of the Pulitzer Center, presents the chilling testimonies of several young people who have witnessed the demeaning and often brutal treatment of participants in non-violent protests. The protagonists of the film have different interests and life stories, but one thing unites them: they face many years in prison in their home country. And so they have made one of the most difficult decisions in their lives – to leave Belarus and start a new life in exile. But thousands more Belarusians remain in custody at home.
VOICE / 45' / director Nadzeya Zaitsava / Belarus
The personal testimony of a young woman who has undergone interrogations, detention and ultimately the initially inconceivable departure from the country, presents the historical events in Lukashenko’s Belarus in an intimate light. The threatened regime is fighting tooth and nail to remain in power, not hesitating to use violent repression against unarmed demonstrators and deeply marking the lives of all who oppose it. It is uncertain how long the regime’s critics will remain free. Nonetheless, the battle for democracy and rule of law continues.
