“Pasha” is a teacher and event organizer at a small primary school in a Russian town with a population of 10,000.But when a new patriotic education policy is introduced during the early weeks of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Pasha is shocked to learn that his responsibilities now include facilitating daily state-sanctioned propaganda events. Under the guise of his actual role as the school’s videographer, he records hundreds of hours of footage inside classrooms and on school grounds and what emerges is the story of an institution abruptly transformed: propaganda, repressive new laws, militarized children’s organizations, and the eventual recruitment of graduating students to fight in Ukraine.
