USA | Agniia Galdanova | Russian with English subtitles

Gena Marvin, an artist from a small town in Russia, dresses in elaborate costumes and protests on the streets of Moscow staging radical performances in public, which becomes a new form of art and activism and puts her life in danger. A flamboyant and exhilarating presence, it is not in Gena’s nature to blend in. This extraordinary documentary, from the producer who brought us the insightful Welcome to Chechnya, this is a look at the bravery and compulsion to live life freely.
