OF CARAVAN AND THE DOGS
Germany 2024 – Director: Askold Kurov, Anonymous1 – Original language: English, Russian – Subtitles: English – Length: 90 min.
“The first casualty of war is the truth.” This also applies to Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine. In the weeks before and after 24 February 2022, the Russian media landscape was radically reconstructed. As the clock counts down, Askold Kurov documents the increasing repression of the press. New laws prompt some to censor themselves, strengthen the courage of others and lead some towards exile. Silvia Bauer
