The documentary BIALIATSKI / UNBROKEN tells the story of Belarusian human rights defender and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski. A grant under Track 2 of ArtPower Belarus enabled an international team, including Belarusian creatives, to complete the film’s post-production, including editing, sound design and colour grading.
The film portrays Bialiatski through the accounts of his family and colleagues, archival materials and testimonies from different countries. Solidarity, human dignity and resistance are central themes, reaching beyond Belarusian history to a wider international conversation about human rights. A particularly distinctive part of the documentary captures the first minutes and days following Bialiatski’s release in December 2025.
It is not only a portrait of one individual but also the story of a community that continues to resist, support one another and maintain connections even under conditions of isolation.
The filmmakers are working towards further festival screenings and international presentations to draw attention to the situation in Belarus and deepen understanding of Belarusian human rights defenders’ long-standing experience.
