Unknown Belarus
Series of documentary films presenting important Belarusian historical (mainly 20th century) events and truthfully portraying historical personalities omitted or ridiculed in official historiography. In particular, the series concentrates on the periods from 1916 to 1921 - when Belarusian patriots were engaged in an unequal and ultimately failed armed struggle for independence, from 1929 to 1935 - the years of forced collectivization and the great famine; World War II – persecution of Belarusian patriotic activists, and the years after the fall of the USSR – when hopes for a truly independent and democratic Belarusian state have resurfaced.
