"Shadows of the Empire”
How to live in the shadow of an empire? How can you think about the future
if all you see through the window are barbed wire, armored vehicles and
tanks? Aleksey from Nagorno-Karabakh, Timur from Ukraine, and Alexander from
Georgia face these questions every day. These three men differ in almost
every aspect of their lives, but each of them experiences the same
consequences of war. The film follows people involved in the
already-forgotten border conflicts that occurred after the USSR collapsed
and are still alive due to Russian imperial policy.

Speakers:

Professor Przemysław Żurawski vel Grajewski, College of Europe in Natolin/
Diplomatic Academy of the MFA of Poland

Tomasz Grzywaczewski, Journalist and Author of "Dream Boundaries: About
Unrecognized States", "Shadows of the Empire" co-director/co-writer

Ambassador Kenneth Yalowitz, Professor of Government at Georgetown
University
