SCREENING OF DOCUMENTARY ORANGE REVOLUTION at AFI Fest
Sunday, November 4 at 7:15 pm
Monday, November 5 at 1:00 pm
Location: Arclight 12
Orange Revolution chronicles Ukraine's 2004 presidential campaign, from one candidate's poisoning to the intimidation of voters, acid-bombing of ballot boxes, and the political pressure put on election officials to count votes a certain way. The government's contempt for the people's choice brings nearly a million citizens into the streets of Kyiv for a 17-day around-the-clock protest. With music, interviews, and rare footage of the demonstrations, this film captures the spirit and determination of the most successful political protest of the decade, and raises a timely question for all citizens whose elections have been called into question: Just how far would you go to protect your vote?
