TFF: Mr. Nobody Against Putin (MA 15+)
This urgent, Sundance prize-winning documentary follows a brave and charismatic Russian teacher as he exposes shocking new propaganda at his school amid the invasion of Ukraine.
Teacher Pavel “Pasha” Talankin loves his job - until Russia invades Ukraine. Disturbed by propaganda in the classroom and military recruiters on campus, he begins to resist. Secretly filming under the guise of school videographer, Pasha risks everything to expose the truth, sending footage to filmmaker David Borenstein while planning his escape. A daring act of protest and collaboration, this gripping documentary, winner of Sundance’s World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Prize, is a powerful portrait of courage under an authoritarian regime.
Cast: Viktor Abakumov, Lavrenti Beria, Yevhen Konovalets
