Sakartvelo: Dances of Freedom

A short documentary capturing the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, in May 2024. As the ruling Georgian Dream Party passed an anti-LGBT law, demonstrators took to the streets, marching, singing, and dancing in defiance. The film follows their confrontation with police as they also rally against the Russian-backed "foreign agent law," a measure seen as a threat to civil liberties. Through a blend of resistance and traditional Sakartvelo culture, the documentary portrays a nation fighting for its freedom.
