City 40, film over moedige mensenrechtenactiviste Nadezjda Koetepova
Nadezjda Koetepova, WECF grondlegster, advocate en milieu-activiste, is vanaf vrijdag 24 maart te zien in documentaire City 40 tijdens Movies that Matter Film Festival in Den Haag
20.03.2017 | WECF Campaign
Op vrijdag 24 maart begint het Movies that Matter Festival in Den Haag. Niet zomaar een filmfestival: een week lang kun je genieten van bijzondere films en documentaires, debatten en talkshows over mensenrechten. Amnesty International heeft een eigen programma op dit festival: A Matter of ACT, met dit jaar negen indrukwekkende films over moedige mensenrechtenactivisten. Nadezjda is één van hen.
Stad nummer 40 was een geheime kernwapenstad in Rusland die officieel niet bestond: de stad was niet te vinden op landkaarten en de bewoners bestonden officieel niet. Duizenden mensen leefden achter hekken met bewakers, op zwaar vervuilde grond. Voor deze documentaire werden cameramensen en apparatuur de stad in gesmokkeld om in het geheim te filmen. Advocaat en activiste Nadezdha Kutepova zet zich voor hen in. Niet zonder gevolgen: vanwege intimidaties en bedreigingen zag zij zich genoodzaakt Rusland te ontvluchten.
Nadezjda, lid van WECF's International Advisory Board en een van de grondlegster van het vrouwen- en milieunetwerk, kreeg in 2016 officieel politiek asiel in Frankrijk. Kutepova vluchtte met haar drie kinderen in juli 2015 naar Frankrijk nadat de Russische autoriteiten haar organisatie "Planeta Nadezhd" op de zwarte lijst hadden gezet.
- Lees hier het volledige verhaal van haar vlucht.
- Meer over de filmvertoningen en de Q&A sessies met Nadezjda Koetepova, vind je op de website van Movies That Matter
