'Dmitriev Affair' Screening with Film Director Jessica Gorter

Wednesday, April 3, 2024
5:30 to 8pm EDT

Deep inside Russia's forests, against the wishes of the authorities, 60-year-old Yuri Dmitriev searches for mass graves from Stalin’s Great Terror — until one day he is arrested and sentenced to 15 years. Following him closely, the film paints a shocking picture of the way the Russian state rewrites history and treats its citizens.
