They Hate Me in Vain
Viewers interested in modern Documentary cinema often explore They Hate Me in Vain because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Based around longform interviews, including with some of Russia's most well-known LGBT activists, the film presents one of the most extensive looks to date into the lives and testimonies of ordinary members from any part of the country's queer community. It also presents a horrifying glimpse into the work of organised rings of Russian homophobes dedicated to repeatedly outing, shaming and physically assaulting those they've deceived and targeted.
