Primary school teacher turns unlikely whistleblower in this sensational exposé of Putin's aggressive militarisation of Russian schools.
Pasha is a beloved primary school teacher in a small Russian town, a mentor known for his goofy and progressive attitude who offers a safe haven for his students. Until, with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a new government directive forces teachers to deliver fervent nationalism and spread state-sponsored propaganda.
As the school’s official videographer, Pasha begins to capture the new authoritarianism and indoctrination of children, but what should he do with the footage?
Co-directed by Pasha and filmmaker David Borenstein, Mr Nobody Against Putin is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering, showcasing rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians, particularly its children.
