Narva Castle hosted a screening and discussion of the documentary film “Prisoners: The System of Terror.”

On 7 May, as part of the Europe Day programme at Narva Castle, a screening and discussion of the documentary film “Prisoners: The System of Terror” by the media project Activatica took place.

The film tells the story of the system of terror created by Russia in the occupied territories of Ukraine: what happens to a person after abduction, what trials they go through, and whether there is any chance of returning to freedom. Testimonies of beatings, torture, total isolation, and unlawful detention without trial reveal the scale and mechanisms of this repressive machine rooted in the Soviet past.

After the screening, a discussion was held with well-known Russian environmental and civic activist Yevgenia Chirikova, who answered questions from the audience.
