A story of three women at the forefront of the movement for a democratic Belarus with an unflinching dedication to the truth.
Iryna Khalip, the PEN Pinter Prize-winning journalist, Natalya Radina, editor of the pro-human rights news site Charter 97, and political activist Nasta Palazhanka were all imprisoned at the time of the fraudulent presidential elections of 2010. "Time of Women celebrates their refusal to be silenced, reminding us that when freedoms are curtailed, survival comes at a price" (The Guardian).
Belarus Free Theatre was founded in 2005 in response to the censorship of freedom of expression in Belarus. As some of the most outspoken critics of Belarus’s repressive regime, its founding members had to be smuggled out of the country and have been in exile as political refugees in the UK since 2011. The cast remains in Minsk and continues to create theater underground, directed over Skype.
