ABOUT US: We are an independent, non-partisan team of Russian and American college students, based in Moscow and New York, producing a documentary film to raise awareness about the importance of civil society and media freedom. We have received support from Columbia University and other Russian and American donors. We've filmed over fifty hours of interviews, including with U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, anti-corruption activist Alexey Navalny, five members of Parliament, TV host Kseniya Sobchak, leading American and Russian journalists, bloggers, economists, activists, and, most importantly, dozens of ordinary Russians. We need your support to complete our film and cover post production cost. Go towww.therussiandream.com/events Check out our trailer here: www.therussiandream.com
