CHANGE MY MIND
If you felt the war in Ukraine is a hoax, how far would you go for truth? In the documentary feature, Change My Mind, director Robin Kvapil takes three Czechs, each sympathetic to Putin’s Russia, and they embark on a journey for truth, straight into a war zone. It began with a public casting call: “Do you think the war in Ukraine is a hoax? That the media is lying about the number of casualties and the consequences of the ‘Special Military Operation’ in Ukraine? Come to a casting and become a hero in a new film.” Sixty people responded and three selected participants, Nikola, Ivo and Petra, all of whom sympathize with Putin’s Russia, traveled with director Robin Kvapil and his film crew to Ukraine to pull back the curtain of propaganda and lies, and witness the truth of war.
