Belarus is considered by many to be Europe’s last dictatorship. The president, Alexander Lukashenko, has been in power since 1994. He rules the country with authoritarian laws that have stifled free speech, political activism, and press freedom.
On August 9th 2020 a presidential election was held in #Belarus. Despite there being a strong democratic opposition for the first time in years—with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya—Lukashenko somehow won with 80% of the vote.
Almost immediately evidence of vote rigging was shared online.
That same night, the people of Belarus took to the streets to protest. Thousands flooded into the country’s capital of Minsk. As this was happening, the government shut down the internet and blocked all the exits to the city.
Thousands of riot police were deployed all over Belarus to stop the protest marches. They attacked protesters viciously.
One of our filmmakers, Luke Pierce, was on the ground for these clashes. He caught firsthand how the people are resisting on the streets. We also met with an outlawed anarchist organisation trying to agitate against Lukashenko.
Have a watch.

Since October 1st 2019, protests in Iraq have spread across the country.
Young men and women have come to the streets to protest against government corruption and the meddling of both America and Iran inside their country.
US troops have been around since the 2003 invasion, and now Iran-backed militias have been given free reign across #Iraq. This, coupled with unemployment and corruption, have left the protesters desperate to make a change.
The Iraqi government has been cracking down hard on the protests. Nearly 600 people have been killed since October, many of them unarmed protesters who were shot with live ammunition.
Cameraman Luke Pierce spent time on the frontlines with the Iraqi protesters for Popular Front to get an on the ground perspective of what they’re fighting for.
