UNYF Edmonton
We invite you to the screening of the film “Diagnosis: Dissent” in Edmonton! This shocking story delves into the fight for freedom of speech and the cost of standing up for one’s beliefs. The film explores themes of repression and the systematic suppression of dissent.
Film Description:
1970s. Andriy Dovzhenko – a young, creative, freedom-loving person, uncovers a terrifying truth – most of those accused of “anti-Soviet activities” were not sent to prison, but to special psychiatric hospitals, where they were given a diagnosis fabricated by the KGB – “sluggish schizophrenia.” Andriy finds himself in the true hell of punitive psychiatry. He faces a difficult choice – to cooperate with the KGB and return to his family or reveal the truth about the dissidents tortured in psychiatric hospitals.
The film is in Ukrainian with English subtitles.
