In a remote Russian mining town, a primary school teacher covertly documents the state’s transformation of classrooms into recruitment grounds for the war in Ukraine. Tasked with filming “patriotic education” sessions, he turns the lens on the indoctrination of youth, capturing moments of coerced loyalty and silent dissent. This intimate documentary offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the erosion of truth and the resilience of those who dare to resist, even at great personal cost. 2026 Oscar Nominee: Best Documentary
