Given ongoing developments, it\u2019s no surprise the film concludes abruptly, and knowing that there\u2019s been no power change in the country so far adds an inherent level of bleakness, yet Paluyan captures the hopes of a population that spans across gender and generations, and there will always be something uplifting about watching people fight peacefully for freedom.<\/p>\n<p>In view of the political uncertainty, buyers and distributors will need to jump quickly to ensure \u201cCourage\u201d doesn\u2019t feel like old <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, especially given the geopolitical reality that until the demonstrations in August, Belarus wasn\u2019t very much on the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> global radar. The unadorned truth is that in a world where empathy fatigue is rising, marketing teams must swiftly leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> attention to position admirable documentaries like this before the public eye. Its premiere as a Berlinale Special will hopefully be just the start.<\/p>\n<p>The Belarus Free Theater was founded in 2005 and was soon targeted by the state for perceived subversive activities. Though the troupe has remained active, with regular free performances given at secret locations, its directors \u2014 Nicolai Khalezin and Natalia Kaliada \u2014 were forced into exile in London nearly a decade ago (and as recently as December were receiving death threats from the Belarus government). Khalezin continues to direct plays for the company via Skype \u2014 its \u201cDogs of Europe\u201d piece is seen at the film\u2019s start \u2014 but members are frequently harassed and blacklisted. Denis Tarasenka, for example, earns his living as an auto body repair technician because he can\u2019t get acting work apart from the Free Theater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourage\u201d begins with glimpses into the daily lives of the three protagonists \u2014 Denis, Maryna Yakubovich and Pavel Haradnizky \u2014 in the days around the August election that showed Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya winning the presidency until Lukashenko rigged the numbers. In one of the film\u2019s most powerful moments, people in light summer clothing filter into the main Stalinist square in the capital, Minsk, to celebrate their candidate\u2019s success. Then swarms of black-clad riot police (the OMON) in the distance begin to repel the crowds, and the steal becomes clear. From then on, there\u2019s an atmosphere of tension as Paluyan and his cinematographers document the fraught hours and days that follow.<\/p>\n<p>Footage of people anxiously awaiting news of loved ones inside the notorious Okrestina prison turns into displays of overwhelming relief when small groups begin to emerge and embrace those outside, yet knowledge that more are still being held within adds multiple layers of apprehension. New mom Maryna wasn\u2019t among those arrested, but she discusses with her husband what they should do: Is it better for a child to risk losing one parent, or should they compromise their ideals? Do they stay and fight, or accept exile in a free country?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a classic scene, enacted the world over whenever a populace begs the army to join it, of a soldier accepting some flowers that he puts on his riot shield. The crowd goes wild, expressing love for this young man who looks barely 20. While it\u2019s a beautiful, emotional moment, for those familiar with similar encounters elsewhere it\u2019s bittersweet to recall all the lives crushed in the aftermath of just such protests (as the song goes, where have all the flowers gone?). As the film ends, we hear Khalezin reassuring Pavel that if things get really bad, they have ways of getting him across the border. That\u2019s good news indeed, but we also know that most people don\u2019t have that safety net.<\/p>\n<p>Crisp, well-framed visuals impressively capture the demonstrations as well as the activists\u2019 regular lives, helping to wipe away outdated ideas of Belarus as a nation somehow trapped in Soviet amber. Although the events shown took place late last summer, and Paluyan must have scores of hours of footage, the assemblage doesn\u2019t feel like a rush job. While \u201cCourage\u201d ends brusquely, we know that\u2019s because the struggle continues.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
