About

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature
Winner of the BAFTA Film Awards Best Documentary Feature

Pasha Talankin is an unlikely hero—a beloved Russian primary school teacher, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the transformation of his school and community, he struggles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness, leading him to become an international whistleblower.

Join us for a Q&A with director David Borenstein following the screening.

This event is offered free of charge. RSVP required. Register here.
