Mr. Nobody Against Putin offers a rare and courageous look inside a Russian school transformed by wartime propaganda. Filmed in secret by a teacher determined to document the truth, this gripping documentary reveals how the war in Ukraine reshapes classrooms, communities and young minds. Both deeply personal and politically urgent, the film explores the moral choices faced by ordinary citizens living under an increasingly authoritarian regime.
