Motherland
By Alexander Mihalkovich & Hanna Badziaka
"Motherland" depicts the culture of violence in Belarus from the perspectives of soldiers, bereaved mothers and activists. By opting for an emotionally charged approach to the production, questions emerge, particularly about the military hierarchy and State violence. "Motherland" asks: how can individuality exist within a context of violence?
