What happens
Dangerous Acts Starring the Unstable Elements of Belarus is a 2013 American documentary film directed by Madeleine Sackler detailing the experiences of the illicit Belarus Free Theatre (BFT) during the political revolution of independence. The film's footage from Belarus was smuggled out by the camerawomen in Belarus. Other scenes were filmed in the United States and the United Kingdom, including uncensored interviews with BFT actors. The film documents the personal and artistic struggles of several members of the BFT, showing the high costs they are forced to pay when defying the governing regime. It also documents one of the presidential candidates, Andrei Sannikov, who was arrested by the KGB following his presidential run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
