The Patriot

2018 · 35 min

A short, sober portrait that watches a young politician's confidence with quiet skepticism, leaving you to weigh his charm against the system around him.

Overview
At the age of 21, Vasily Vlasov became the youngest parliamentarian in the Russian Duma. Given his abundant confidence and self-assured manner, he could have been a refreshing new voice.
