An Ordinary President (1996)

25 years ago, controversial filmmaker Yury Hashchevatsky released an overview of Belarusian President and "Europe's Last Dictator" Alexander Lukashenko's first 500 days. The film, An Ordinary President, was swiftly banned in Belarus. 25 years later, despite increasing protestation, Lukashenko remains in power and An Ordinary President remains forbidden. Told by a series of rare interviews with the president and those closest to (and most critical of) him, Hashchevatsky's biting wit, and unprecedented on-the ground footage, find out why An Ordinary President is the film that Lukashenko still doesn't want you to see.
