Film Lens

Dom
The documentary 'Dom' focuses on a group of young Russians who have fled their homeland due to increasing repression under Putin's regime. Living in an improvised shelter in Tbilisi, Georgia, the film features a diverse cast including a student couple, a singer, a journalist, a Navalny activist, a gay blogger, and a former politician. These individuals represent a lost generation that never envisioned emigration as an option until the war and subsequent crackdown on dissent forced them to seek refuge abroad. The film captures the experiences of these ordinary citizens who are committed to an open and democratic civil society. As 500,000 Russians have reportedly left the country in the last six months, the documentary shows their struggles as digital dissidents. It portrays their search for a new home while confronting the realities of life away from their homeland, emphasizing the impact of the regime's repression on civic activism and personal freedoms.
