Mr. Nobody Against Putin

Mr. Nobody Against Putin Danemark-Tchéquie 2025 | David Borenstein, Pasha Talankin | documentaire | vostEN | 90' | digital 

►Sundance 2025 (World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award)

A Russian teacher documents everyday school life as it becomes shaped by state propaganda. Told with quiet humanity, humour and heartbreak, this film is a defiant tribute to free expression and a testament to one teacher’s small but powerful act of resistance.

“Pavel Talankin’s deeply moving—and disturbing—account of how Russian schools and society succumbed to Putin’s military death cult as soon as the invasion of Ukraine was launched in February 2022 is both touching and heart-wrenching.” (Modern Times Review)

“Arguably, this is one of the few documentaries that genuinely deserves adjectives like "brave" and "daring”.” (Cinema Daily)

“Through the eyes of its delightfully brave, yet utterly relatable subject … this terrifying, revelatory and poignant exposé offers an unseen human angle on an ongoing conflict.” (Variety)
