In Russia, those who call for an end to the war in Ukraine face up to seven years imprisonment – the same punishment for committing a robbery.
This is the chilling insight at the heart of Andrew De Zen’s impactful short film, The Robbery, created by La Despensa through Rebolucion for humanitarian charity Amnesty International.
The cinematic film opens with three Russian citizens in a car. We are initially led to believe that the trio are planning to rob a bank, but the rug is pulled to reveal they are in fact protesting the conflict.
The unlikely criminals are quickly and violently arrested, before the film closes with a montage of impactful black-and-white photographs, and a call to action to free those who have been imprisoned for expressing their views.
