Synopsis
"From the award-winning team behind Navalny (46th) and Last Men in Aleppo, comes a terrifying documentary about the dangers of exercising free speech in an authoritarian regime. In an act of desperate self-preservation, housewife-turned-journalist Natalia Zubkova took it upon herself to document the deadly levels of pollution from the vast open pit coal mines that are poisoning the remote Siberian town where she lives. But as the mine owners and local authorities take heed of her protests, the lies only become more brazen, while her safety seems ever less secure.
