Synopsis: In the hearth of Europe there is still a dictatorship stuck in the URSS times. Known as Europe's Black Hole, The Ghost Country, or The North Korea of Europe, the Republic of Belarus is an independent state on the border between two continents and two civilizations. Franak Viacorka featured.
Made in By tries to look inside Europe's last dictatorship using the field of art as access-key to enter the belarusian society. Talking with the artists, following them in their rehearsal and filming their live performances we will test how much the political system influences the cultural life and how high are the limits of freedom of expression.
How can creativity survive in a hierarchical regime? How can anti-conformism deal with dictatorship? Is it possible to be independent in a country where the state controls 80% of the economy?
Those are the questions that Made in By try to answer trough the voices of the most important artists, journalists, musicians and critics of the country.
