The Accidental President
Mike Lerner, Martin Herring / United Kingdom / 2024 / 90 min
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya never planned to enter politics—until her husband was jailed for challenging Lukashenko. She takes on the fight against an authoritarian regime, against violence, and for the freedom of her country. Officially, her opponent wins the election — but was it truly fair? Despite threats, she continues her fight for a free Belarus. With unprecedented access, this film follows her extraordinary journey from teacher to opposition leader, capturing the hopes of a nation yearning for democracy. A powerful story of courage, justice, and the fight against dictatorship.
