The film ‘Don't be afraid’ follows the struggle of the Belarusian people for fair elections. It deals with the life stories of people who responded to the call of blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky and took part in the presidential campaign in 2020. The events are shown from the perspective of the filmmaker Mikhail Arshinsky. He witnessed the incredible political confrontation of 2020. With a camera in hand, Mikhail followed each stage of the campaign. He filmed how the authorities interfered with the collection of signatures and prevented those signatures from being transferred to the election commissions. The headquarters of alternative candidates united. Mikhail traveled with them to the regions of Belarus.
The film begins with the story of Sergei Tikhanovsky, blogger, who decided to participate in presidential elections of the Republic of Belarus. But he has had to deal with corruption and injustice. On his RU-vid channel ‘A country for life’ he talked about the mismanagement of the local officials and gave ‘open microphone’ to people. He was taken into custody as result of provocations. But Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, his wife, took the initiative. Common people joined her team to help. Medic Olga Pavlova, engineer Oleg Moiseev and housekeeper Antonina Konovalova just wanted a better future for themselves and their children.
The authorities underestimated Svetlana. The regime didn’t allow the main competitors Valery Tsepkala and Viktor Babariko to be admitted to the elections. But they miscalculated. The headquarters of Valery Tsepkala and Viktor Babariko joined their forces around Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. From an ordinary woman she turned into a symbol of the new Belarus. The Tikhanovsky family awakened the country that had lived under the dictatorship of Lukashenko for 26 years.
