Female JOurnalists resisting authoritarianism!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this intimate, epic, Russian novel-like masterpiece My Undesirable Friends: Part 1, which has already won the Gotham Award & made the Oscars Shortlist (the similarly themed Mr. Nobody vs Putin made the final cut), & is now nominated for the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary, as its portrayal of its fearless female journalists standing up to the ultimate authoritarian in Putin offers priceless lessons on how we might do the same here in america, the land of the fearful and the home of the slave...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 their country. 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. An intimate epic that captures momentous historic events real time and feels somewhere between a reality show and a Russian novel...& which wrestles with the theme of abuse of power which also lies at the heart of Killing Justice...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCyxXOSiRyY
