Full-length documentary
Resilience
Humans can act as nature’s defenders or as an invasive species. While conservationist Pavel strives to ease environmental anxiety and become one with the land, Klára is hot on the trail of a bird poisoner.
The Hungarian government succeeded in taking control of one of the country’s most prominent independent media outlets, Index.hu. The journalists fight back with every tool at their disposal, but the system is rigged against them.
In 2020, ownership of Index.hu shifted to figures loyal to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Journalists protested, resigned, and attempted to launch a new media platform. Their struggle to defend independent journalism, however, ran up against a complex web of authoritarian control. This investigative documentary uses firsthand accounts from former employees to highlight the importance of media in an age when the value of truth is increasingly questioned. Through its urgency and methodical mapping of the dismantling of independent media, the film demonstrates that this is far from a local issue, it’s a pressing global concern.
