Mr Nobody Against Putin is an Oscar-nominated documentary that tells the story of Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, a primary school teacher and videographer who becomes an international whistleblower. After being reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine, he starts documenting how ordinary Russians are indoctrinated with pro-war messages and recruited for the war. We speak to Talankin and the film’s co-director, David Borenstein.

Geeta Gandbhir has made history as the first woman to receive Academy Award nominations for both Best Documentary Feature (for The Perfect Neighbor) and Best Documentary Short (The Devil Is Busy) in the same year. The Perfect Neighbor looks at the case of a 35-year-old Black mother of four who was fatally shot in 2023 by her white neighbor. The Devil Is Busy chronicles a day on the frontlines in the battle for reproductive rights at a women’s healthcare clinic in Atlanta, Georgia.

Part 2 of interview with economist Michael Hudson about the global impacts of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Hudson’s latest article is “The US/Israeli Attack Was to Prevent Peace Not Advance It.”
