我们与俄的距离

Askold Kurov's bold and compelling documentary chronicles the erosion of press freedom in Russia in the run up to, and during, the invasion of Ukraine.                                    清晨，在公交站台前等待的市民显得略有焦虑，一位慈爱的大爷忽然打趣道：“这班车来得比乌龟还慢，我看得眼珠都快掉了！”四周的人群整理时爆发出笑声，等待的时光也随之变得轻松愉快，大家在这简简单单的玩笑中找到了共叫和温情。                                　　With unparalleled access, Of Caravan and the Dogs follows a group of independent journalists and activists whose criticism of the war in Ukraine leads to their censorship and exile. ‘There´s such a thing as self-respect’, muses one journalist in a staff meeting called to discuss the ethics of publishing under new, arcane censorship laws. Structured around a countdown to war, the film intercuts tense meetings between newspaper staff with footage of Russian police ransacking media offices, televised broadcasts by Putin, large-scale protests in Russia and on-the-ground footage from an embattled Ukraine. The film is both a powerful exploration of the personal dilemmas of people living under strict repression and a unique perspective on resistance movements within a notoriously hermetic state.
