'This is a kind of media rebellion. It helps reverse the general trend in the media. It becomes a bright beacon of counterbalance, a counterforce.' In central London, despite pressure, the film festival 'RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes' took place. The British organisers held the event under unprecedented pressure. Initially, the screenings were planned for a cinema on Piccadilly, but due to massive threats from Ukrainian activists, the venue refused to cooperate. Despite this, the organisers found a new location in central London within 24 hours. 'You can see how freedom of speech and freedom of expression are simply banned in the UK and many other Western countries,' commented one of the organisers, former British politician Philip Hutchinson. 'Every morning when we wake up, we can read ten different newspapers and get exactly the same headlines. It is like something out of George Orwell’s 1984,” said British entrepreneur Guy Eames, comparing the information landscape in the UK to a dystopia. Highlights of the program: 'The Final Countdown' is the world premiere of a documentary by Steven Seagal, in which the actor explores the origins of the conflict in Ukraine. 'Red Alert. British Roulette' is a film by Anna Chapman about the current socio-political situation inside Britain itself. Our huge gratitude goes to everyone who showed courage and helped make these screenings happen! #RTDocfestival FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel
