The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine is not only waged with bombs, rockets and rocket-propelled grenades, but also in the media. It is a "propaganda battle" internally and externally. Russia spreads targeted disinformation in order to systematically devalue news. At the same time, their own population should be convinced that they want to liberate Ukraine from Nazis. Ukraine's narrative wants to emotionally mobilize its own population and strengthen resistance to the aggressor. Spindoctors are of particular importance in the propaganda battle over Ukraine. On the Ukrainian side, it's often influencers like Oleksiy Arestovych. On the Russian side, Vladimir Solovyov, Putin's snout, is supposed to sell the war to his own people with his daily TV talks. The documentary shows the new front lines of virtual warfare and provides insights into the populists' bag of tricks on social networks.

Это очень личная работа, не столько про Грету-активистку, сколько про Грету-подростка. В кадрах она не только перемещается между конференциями и произносит речи, но и спорит с отцом, танцует в пустой комнате, получает школьный аттестат, читает комментарии в твиттере и смеётся над ними. Она прямолинейная, самостоятельная, с феноменальной памятью и особенным чувством юмора. Она «никогда не хотела быть популярной» (ее собственные слова) и чувствует себя некомфортно в путешествиях, вдали от семьи и любимых собак, но продолжает делать то, что считает самым важным: если у кого-то были сомнения в ее искренности, то после просмотра от них останется и следа.

For four and a half years, between 2015 – 2019, acclaimed filmmaker Yorgos Avgeropoulos observed Greek society on multiple levels. As well as having exclusive access to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, he followed others, including a refugee couple from Syria and a mother whose child was murdered by Golden Dawn. The result is a unique and multiple story-lined film: a tale which evolves and unfolds with the characters over time as they face difficult decisions, even to partially achieve their goals.
