The 10th RusDocFilmfest-3W presents "I Am Not a Hero," a film exploring the courage of poet Natalia Gorbanevskaya, who protested the Soviet-led intervention into Czechoslovakia. Buy tickets here.
On August 25, 1968, the Russian poet Natalia Gorbanevskaya’s actions changed her life: carrying her three-month-old son, she, with seven like-minded people, protested against the Soviet-led intervention of Czechoslovakia at the Red Square in Moscow. The cost of this action was years of imprisonment. Later she emigrated from the Soviet Union. The film-team has been interviewing their character for several years for this documentary.
