Generation 328

«Generation 328» is an insightful short documentary, capturing the struggle of courageous mothers, all of whom share a tragically common experience — their children were convicted under the notorious Article 328. This controversial legal provision is infamous across Belarus, with the government annually incarcerating thousands of individuals on drug-related charges. The law is particularly punitive for minor offenses, sending young Belarusians to prison for up to a decade for possessing a meager 0.3-0.5 grams of cannabis. The film provides an intimate look at these mothers' relentless battle for their children's freedom, standing up fearlessly against an autocratic regime that has robbed their offspring of their youth. Their unwavering spirit and fight for justice is at the heart of this compelling documentary.
