Tomorrow
by Andrey Gryazev
The most striking sight in contemporary Russian art is Voina ("War"), a
radical artist collective. The founders are Vor ("Thief") and Koza
("Goat"), and they walk the thin line between art and crime. They
paint a gigantic penis on the bridge across from the headquarters of
the Federal Security Service and tip police cruisers over by night, as a
protest against the force that they would also like to "topple."

Despite constant resistance, influential cyber feminists from Cuba,
China and Iran keep blogging about the abuses in their countries.
With indefatigable determination, they keep people around the world
informed about the abuses taking place in their countries.

Movie for Final Legal Debate
‘Wikileaks: Secrets and Lies’ by Patrick Forbes
The film’s dramatic axis revolves around the uneasy relationship
between WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange, and three major
newspapers (New York Times, Der Spiegel, The Guardian). The
documentary is a journalistic masterpiece. Patrick Forbes juggles
differing points of view concerning the page’s origin, its creators, its
rise and fall in a purposely pure documentary, that avoids taking
license with tricks, effects, editing, or spewing propaganda.

Call me Kuchu
by Malika Zouhali-Worrall
David Kato is one of the first declared homosexuals in Uganda, a
country in which homosexuality is a criminal offence and the rights of
the LGBT community are violated. Together with a group of likeminded people, Kato fights the violence against gays in his country,
until fate strikes and a shockwave of disbelief spreads across the
planet.
