It's long been dangerous for ordinary Russians to speak up against Vladimir Putin's regime, but since the invasion of Ukraine it's become riskier than ever.This week Four Corners goes deep inside Russia to meet the citizens who have chosen to stay after thousands of others have fled. Some vocally oppose the war, others have remained silent, and some support the government.The filmmakers meet a group of young graffiti artists who create art mocking the government's pro-war propaganda, before one of their members is arrested.They follow the members of a small, independent YouTube channel as they travel the country to give voice to the views of ordinary Russians, after other independent media outlets were forced to close.And a local politician is forced to make the ultimate choice after a video of her accusing the Russian government of war crimes during a council meeting goes viral.When authorities decide to press charges, she must decide: should she face criminal conviction or flee the country? |
