We Didn't Know Each Other Until this Summer

About This Movie

So, 'We Didn't Know Each Other Until this Summer' is quite the raw documentary, right? It dives into the chaos of the 2020 Belarus elections, but what's striking is how it's all pulled from real footage, you know? It's like a collage of personal perspectives from those who were there—protesters, bystanders, the whole shebang. The tone feels urgent, almost frenetic at times, reflecting the palpable tension of that week post-election. Pacing-wise, it has a rhythm that keeps you on your toes, moving through events as they happen. There's this stark realism, no glossing over the harsh truths. It’s a unique piece, mainly because it relies heavily on the voices and visuals of ordinary people, making the whole experience feel immediate and personal.
