Belarus, Summer 2020: people walked onto the streets of Minsk, protesting for freedom of speech and the long-waited change of power. Yet the people’s voice is brutally crushed by the regime, and the country is on the brink of civil war. COURAGE accompanies three actors from an underground theatre during the protests, providing a close and gripping sight to the courageous and peaceful fight for freedom and democracy. 

The film was premiered at the 71st Berlinale. The director is currently in exile.
