Mr Nobody v Putin

This documentary is a really effective portrayal of authentic patriotism contrasted with the plastic, state-sponsored, flag waving type. A primary school worker uses the natural leadership he exerts among his young charges to record and subvert attempts by the Kremlin to fill schools with propaganda during the Russo-Ukrainian war.

A foreign terrorist project disguised as “art.”

There is nothing more unnatural than the traitor. Liberals who betray Russia aren't natural beings. Now, imagine if Russia were to come to UK and “film” the social engineering in the classrooms? The progressive indoctrination? The anti-nation indoctrination? Imagine your disgust.

@yestestvennaya Try watching it with an open mind. The protagonist is a young man with autistic traits who filmed videos in school because that was what he was paid to do. He did not set out to make "art". He was a respected and loved member of staff at his school who believed it was not right to indoctrinate young children with military propaganda. The film only became a reality because he was in physical danger from agents of his own government and used a single contact he had made in Europe to escape and seek political asylum.

I watched it on the BBC. Thankfully there is still a handful of broadcasters who sponsor and promote serious journalism.

@SunshineGirl BBC is invested in anti-Russian nonsense. Again: What are you going to say when a Russian broadcaster makes film about indoctrination in British schools?

How do you know he was in danger? Where is the evidence? He chose to leave.
