Singing Against Lukashenko

They do what they do best: sing. The "Free Choir of Minsk" sings patriotic songs against the repressive regime of Alexander Lukashenko. Organized as a flash mob, the members of the choir show up and risk their health, their freedom and their lives with every performance. Be it in the subway or in a shopping mall. Filmmaker Roman Schell accompanied the choir leader during her performances over few months, which were becoming increasingly dangerous. In spite of the careful organization the choir leader was arrested and put in jail. The film author and the choir leader had to flee Belarus.
