Turn on the radio. Tune in to a station that shouldn’t exist. Sense the air thicken with thoughts and words from below. Witness the emergencies of war, rampant capitalism and inequality, colonial aftermaths, and environmental decline. Galvanized by distinct and unconventional media practices, filmmakers hone our ears to underground frequencies of dissent that amplify unquiet voices ringing in the fight for liberation and restorative justice.

This film was shot in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in March 2022—during the first month of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which continues until today. It ponders the silences and small acts of resistance by anti-war individuals at a time when mass protest fails and mass migration begins, when the state introduces military censorship, and the full-scale war is not experienced directly.
