Of Caravan and the Dogs

"During the invasion of Ukraine, Russian independent media try to continue objective reporting while resisting government pressure. The Russian opposition suspect that Putin wants to get rid of them. But when and how will it happen?
Although Russia is no longer safe, Dmitry Muratov, chief editor of the liberal Novaya Gazeta, keeps the newsroom running. In his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Muratov compared society to a caravan that moves on because the dogs (meaning top journalists) keep barking. Muratov’s colleagues watch in horror as the situation in the country deteriorates: the supreme court dissolves the International Memorial human rights organisation, and other remaining independent media start vanishing after the launch of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian director Askold Kurov, who has already shown several films at One World, leads an anonymous team of authors as they document the dramatic weeks surrounding the invasion of Ukraine."
