The film tracks the politician from her decision to run for president to her forced exile in Lithuania. Her pro-democratic campaign mobilised thousands to take to the streets despite the risk of a violent response. Juxtaposed with raw footage of police brutality, we see how the Belarusian government in exile is growing and Tsikhanouskaya’s position on the world’s political stage is strengthening. Alongside scenes showing her advocacy work, space is given to Tsikhanouskaya’s personal statements, where moments of hopelessness alternate with feelings of pride and solidarity. But in February 2022 the ongoing negotiations with international representatives are disrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
