Watching: Sakartvelo: Dances of Freedom

Overview

A short documentary capturing the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, in May 2024. As the ruling Georgian Dream Party passed the "Foreign Agent Law" restricting foreign NGOs, 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.
