Dear friends,
Filmed
over the past year, it exposes torture, state-sponsored murder and kidnap
inside the Belarus of President Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Much of the
documentary has been filmed undercover. It provides a brief insight into
Lukashenko’s disturbed character, and offers a rare glimpse inside one the
world’s most under-reported places.
Joanna Lumley:
"The more the outside world knows of these sinister secrets of
Belarus, the greater the chance is of these innocent people being released.
Belarus is in the unfortunate geographical location of lying like a buffer
between Russia and Poland; there is always reluctance, even by sympathetic
governments, to tread on sensitive areas, so ordinary people must take up the
shout of protest made so bravely by so many Belarusians.”
