Synopsis
Capturing post-2020 Belarus, "And Suddenly the Revolution Has a Female Face" unveils tales of heroines. Svetlana, in Lithuanian exile, plans elections and anti-war action post-Russian invasion. Veronika, in Riga exile, builds evidence for a Hague lawsuit against Lukashenko.
Maria, a former musician and campaign manager, rejects leaving, dances at her trial, fiercely opposing Belarusian war involvement, and gets imprisoned for twelve years. Olga, a feminist philosopher, lectures on dignity in prison, writes in Berlin, focusing on feminist resistance post-Russian invasion.
Nina, a lifelong partisan, defends Minsk, sewing national flags, and protesting against war. Svetlana Alexijevitsch, the Nobel laureate, writes the bitter final chapter of her Red Chronicle. Initially unrelated, these women united in Belarusian resistance, facing imprisonment and exile. Despite losses, their courage grows against Lukashenko's terror, aligning with Ukraine's fight for freedom amid Putin's war.
