Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A portrait of Belarusian artist Ales Pushkin, who uses his performance art to wage a mini-resistance against the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko. As one of the last remaining artists in his country, Pushkin has been bumping heads with the authorities for the past decade. He gets sent away or arrested time and again, but he keeps flying the forbidden flag of the Belarusian People's Republic nonetheless. Disturbing footage shows police officers using brute force to take possession of paintings and cart Pushkin off.
