A Q&A session after the screening of COURAGE with film's director, Aliaksei Paluyan
The interview will be conducted in English, translation into Polish available.
During the presidential elections in Belarus in August 2020, Maryna, Pavel and Denis, three actors from the underground Belarus Free Theatre in Minsk, join mass protests against Alexander Lukashenko. The protesters pour out on the streets of Minsk to stand up for freedom of speech and support the long-awaited change of power. Civil disobedience becomes a moral imperative, but the voice of the people is brutally suppressed by the security forces of the Belarusian regime. The members of the theatre staff are arrested.
