HUMAN DOC VOD
Available free of charge (with a handful of brief commercials to watch) and with no time restrictions. For me, a chance to see the documentaries I didn't manage to fit into my festival schedules.
CHAO (LANDLESS) (2019)
Switched off. This Brazilian documentary traipses activist farmers, presenting virtually each discussion, every work they do, but without providing full context. It drags.
PRZYJAZN W CIENIU KREMLA. JUTRO UKRAINA (FRIENDSHIP IN THE SHADOW OF THE KREMLIN. TOMORROW UKRAINE) (2018)
Recommended. First Georgia, then Ukraine, then the Baltic states and next Poland? Ukraine has come after Georgia. Curiously, Russins first arrived as "tourists" and "politicians" to research the ground. Putin, described by Saakashvili as "a faggot and a killer", is ruthless: the war that has been going on in the Donetsk region since 2015, is particularly brutal: outrageous tortures - sometimes by bloodthirsty criminals, sometimes structured by professionals who would even call and ambulance to bring a man back from clinical death a few times only to torture him further, unspeakable public opinion manipulation - 3 days can change a person's reputation by 180 degrees. The film presents so harrowing an account of tortures I was grateful for the VOD commercials since they took the weight of this heavy subject breaking the film a few times.
