Synopsis

How do you keep fighting for the truth when your country declares you an outlaw? What begins as an intimate epic about young Russian independent journalists fighting Putin’s regime takes a drastic turn when Russia invades Ukraine and they must choose whether to flee into exile. A front row seat to how authoritarianism works and the lives of those who resist, which becomes more and more relevant both globally and in the U.S. every day.
