Our pilot season begins in Georgia, where two very different women, Tamara Chergoleishvili and Irma Inashvili, fight for opposite visions for their country and the world.

In Episode Two both announce that they are pro-Western. So, whose West is it, anyway?

In the third, and final, episode of Season One of “Clash of Narratives” our heroines come to terms with election shakeups at home and abroad.

As war rages in eastern Ukraine, Dima, a former leader of an ultra-right group, and Tanya, a self-proclaimed anarcho-feminist, make an unlikely couple in modern-day Kiev.  

Unable to return to her native Crimea, Tanya builds a new life in Kiev as Dima wrestles with his war-torn past.

The final episode of A Ukrainian Love Story looks at the family traumas that lead to radicalization and the relationship offering a ramp to reconciliation. It’s not an easy path.

In the season premiere of Truth and Theater in St. Petersburg, directors Vladimir and Grigoriy are in the process of staging the same play about fascism, but with very different interpretations of what this word means in modern-day Russia.

In episode 2 of Truth and Theater in St. Petersburg, directors Grigoriy and Vladimir expound on their Orthodox Christian beliefs. For Vladimir, it was God’s will that Putin became Russia’s leader. For Grigoriy, the church’s ties to the government compelled him to leave the Russian Orthodoxy.

In the season finale of Clash of Narratives’ third season, two very different Russian theater directors sit down and talk about fascism, freedom of speech, and the future of their country.
