From the article:
An ‘inspiring’ documentary film that details the astounding work of a schoolteacher trying to take on the Russian government is now available to watch for free.
Initially released just over a year ago, Mr Nobody Against Putin was directed by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin.
The 90-minute film follows the latter as he works at a school in Karabash, a poor mining town near the Ural Mountains in Russia.
While recording his students over the course of two years, Talankin also documents the Putin administration’s efforts to control public perception during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.

Ironically not available from Russia. Arguably the country whos people need to see it the most.

Don’t worry, the younger generation is downloading it illegally and there’s a healthy discussion going on in Russian language forums. The older generation: too brainwashed to care or even acknowledge that the doc has a point, with a few possible exceptions.

Watched it yesterday and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Incredible to see how the school and the curriculum were repurposed to produce cannon fodder. Heart breaking.
