"Alien Sky" premiere at "Pobeda"

The premiere of Alexey Martinenko's documentary film "Alien Sky" took place at the "Pobeda" cinema. The film focuses on Belarusians who left the country in search of work and stability. The main character, Vladimir Usser, speaks about the difficulties related to employment and lack of money, saying: "I really want to go home. I really want to go back to Belarus. To my city, which I loved so much...". The film honestly shows that for many, freedom abroad has come at the cost of happiness, leaving only a struggle for survival in a cold and indifferent world. In excerpts from the film, viewers hear the voices of emigrants reflecting the habit of bluntly answering questions about belonging and national identity.

Context

Many Belarusians face economic hardships abroad and are seeking ways to return to a more stable life in their homeland.
