This Kind of Hope : UK Premiere – The Life of Andrei Sannikov (12+)

Diplomacy is Andrei Sannikov’s life. Having succeeded in demobilizing the world’s most dangerous nuclear weapons arsenal, this master diplomat is now armed with a tie and business cards fighting for the return of a vanished democracy.

Sannikov never stops being a diplomat. He is a diplomat when he talks about his life and his country while staying in exile in Warsaw. Sannikov weighs every word knowing that people in Belarus could be tortured or killed for it. And yet he never loses that kind of hope or his fine sense of humour.

Q&A to follow screening.
