Mr. Nobody Against Putin — English subs

A Russian teacher secretly documents his small town school's transformation into a war recruitment center during the Ukraine invasion, revealing the ethical dilemmas educators face amid propaganda and militarization.

As Russia launches its large-scale invasion of Ukraine, elementary schools are being turned into recruitment centers for the army. A courageous teacher faces an ethical dilemma: should he cooperate with a system characterized by propaganda and violence? He decides to go undercover and film what is really happening at his school.

SUNDAY JANUARY 18: CINEVERSE MEET-UP

New in town? Fond of arthouse film? Want to meet other internationals? Come to our monthly Cineverse meet-up! On January 18, we invite you to come and watch Mr. Nobody Against Putin with us.

Our host of the evening, Kiriko Mechanicus (more about Kiriko below), will introduce the film to us. Afterwards we move to the café to catch up, meet up, play a game, have a drink (and some snacks on the house to celebrate the first Cineverse meet-up :-)).. You name it. We look forward to it!

And, a tip for all arthouse enthousiasts: Kiriko makes a filmpodcast called Celebrating Cinema - A LAB111 Podcast Platform together with Hugo Emmerzael.

  • “That parochialism—a society that doesn't believe in politics at all has little polarization—makes Mr. Nobody Against Putin alternately bitter, funny, sad, and heartwarming.”
