Staff Picks: Inauguration Edition 2021
It’s almost the end of the first month of 2021, and just over a week since the U.S. saw a new president take office. In light of the occasion, some of us highlighted our favorite political films below!
The Patriot
A film about the life and fate of a real Russian patriot. All his thoughts, dreams and hopes are inextricably linked with the greatness of the Fatherland. However, over time, cognitive dissonance suddenly penetrates into his consciousness, which did not know reproaches and doubts. Finding himself in a severe existential crisis, the hero of the film paradoxically and contradictory rethinks the concept of patriotism.
