A Must Watch - documentary, 'Mr Nobody Against Putin'

Marianne72

When we moan how hard life is, how restricted we feel, how misunderstood we are, this is a sure-fire antidote. Please watch and pass to your friends.. 'Mr Nobody Against Putin' is nominated for an Oscar; a documentary by a brave Russian videographer who risked his freedom to publish what's going on in Russian schools. It's easy for forget, we live in a free country where you can freely voice opinions without fear of arrest [or death], express yourself even if it feels scary]. We have no screaming bombs, no night raids, no tsunamis, no live volcanoes, no dictatorship penetrating every freedom in life.

I wish I was brave like Pavel Talankin, but I'm not. I wish I could change things, but I can't. I wish I could donate money, but I haven't means. All I can do is donate a widow's mite, hoping it might bring a bit of hope, that someone knows; someone, somewhere cares. That sums it up. None of us can stop wars, prevent people being injured, heal wounds or eradicate evil - but what we can do is shine a small light, keep hope alive - and, like the night sky, all the small pinpricks add up to a lot of light Sparkles.

  • I will try and watch this, the reports I've heard on freedom of expression completely quashed sounds terrifying. I read the BBC report recently saying if people refused to fight, they were sent out in the 'meat waves' with no weapon to basically use up ammunition mowing them down, or just executed by their commanding officer. It's a terrible war, and it's only going to get worse as now this ordeal in the middle east is allowing Russian oil to be sold again which is only going to fund another illegal war and prolong more suffering on the Ukrainian front. 

    If people like Talankin are risking their lives to say what's really happening, I feel I owe them to listen. I wish there wasn't so much suffering in the world at the moment, I will hold a light for them.
