Tonight! August 6 at 7:30pm ET you can watch live as the film Mr. Jones, written and produced by Gaslit Nation's very own Andrea Chalupa, about Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine, will be blasted at the Russian Embassy Press Office (a.k.a. the Russian Propaganda Office) in Washington, DC, at 1706 18th Street NW. Anyone anywhere in the world can watch the event -- it will be recorded and livestreamed. Here is the YouTube link where you can watch live or at a later time. The screening will open with a Q&A with three-time Academy Award-nominee Agnieszka Holland -- the director of Mr. Jones, and Andrea. The discussion will continue with Olga Lautman of the Kremlin Files prodcast who will join to talk about Russia's ongoing genocide in Ukraine. Last fall, a Putin mob and authorities shut down a screening of Mr. Jones in Moscow and shortly after banned the renowned human rights organization, Memorial, that dared to show it. The Guardian reported on it here. Memorial faced years of repression for fighting for historical truths. So we're blasting the film at the Russians using a powerful projector. This is going to be an interesting evening you don't want to miss!
