One and a half years ago, shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I wrote an English text for press freedom organisation Free Press Unlimited. Putin had just announced that uttering the word “war” was a punishable offense.
I wrote this text to express my anger at what was being done to the people of Ukraine, but also my admiration for all Ukrainians and the brave journalists who take it upon themselves to continue reporting reliable information.
Unfortunately, this text remains just as relevant today. The Venice Fullshot Film Festival agreed, awarding the film the prize for “Best Experimental Film.”
