Description

Journalist Valery Panyushkin profiles 12 Russians from across the country's social spectrum who have one thing in common: participation in the historic March of the Dissidents in 2007. In flagrant violation of increasingly stringent laws, they shared a belief that the government of Vladmir Putin was betraying the promise of Russia's future. Risking the threats and violent retaliation inflicted upon journalists who dare question the powers that be, Panyushkin boldy illuminates the lives and convictions of these 12 men and women.
