Message from Sasha
Sasha Skochilenko is an artist from St. Petersburg, Russia. She was the first to speak out against the 'special military operation' in Ukraine: she changed the price tags in a supermarket and put information about the war on them. Now Sasha is in prison, facing trial. Through the eyes of her friends Sonia and Lesha we witness the ongoing trial up close, exposing the absurdities and inhumanity of the Russian legal system, and the threats that the group of friends who support Sasha encounter in daily life. Over 18 months they await the final verdict. In November 2023, Sasha is sentenced to another 7 years imprisonment for her artistic rebellion.

In Memoriam Alexander Litvinenko
In November 2006, the Russian political dissident and former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko fell suddenly and seriously ill in London. Yet this was no ordinary illness: he had been poisoned with the radioactive substance polonium. During the three weeks of his illness before he died, Litvinenko accused the Kremlin of orchestrating his poisoning. These accusations would form the basis of one of the biggest political scandals of the twenty-first century. In 2004, Litvinenko told filmmaker Jos de Putter his life story, detailing his rift with the Kremlin and the dangers he now faced as a public enemy of the Russian state. With incredible access to Litvinenko before his death and interviews with his father, wife and friends after, this revelatory doc tells the story of Litvinenko’s life and death as you’ve never heard it before.
