Now playing in select theaters across the U.S. is a devasating expose of the Belarus dictatorship, in which the Russian Kremlin is fully complicit. The New Yorker writes:

An animal was definitely harmed in the making of this film -- as were lots of people. Victor Dashuk, a veteran director from Belarus, begins his sharp 1999 documentary broadside against the repressive regime of his country's president, Alexander Lukashenko, with footage of local Satanists crucifying and sacrificing a dog. Cutting to a wax museum of Soviet leaders from Lenin and Stalin to Brezhnev and even Gorbachev and Yeltsin, Dashuk declares that the Slavic people, in their fealty to such leaders, have been practicing their own form of devil worship.
