Jury's declarationFor a personal reflection of a shocking political murder in Moscow, too brief and too difficult to assimilate, even for those who were present. It is accompanied by texts from Pablo Neruda, who died in 1973, leaving behind his humanistic legacy. Democracy suffered a severe blow when Putin’s opponent was shot. Erratic mobile phone footage in combination with Neruda’s words create a simple but compelling response of the director to the event and situation.
