Vic, a hapless young Russian American, drives a handicapped transportation vehicle in Mi lwaukee. Already running late on a day when street protests have broken out, and on the verge of being fired, he reluctantly agrees to ferry his grandfather and a dozen elderly Russians to a funeral. And when he stops in a predominantly African American ne ighborhood to pick up Tracy, a woman with motor neuron disease, Vic\u2019s day goes from bad to worse. Inspired by experiences from his own youth, Kirill Mikhanovsky delivers a touching and life \u2013 affirming comedy about marginalized characters encountering literal and figurative roadblocks. His descent into the madness of a modern American town explores the city\u2019s complex immigrant communities, racial tensions and working \u2013 class frustrations. A charming look at ordi nary people and a \u201crigged system\u201d, Give Me Liberty has a flavor of the Czech New Wave, mixing a wry dissent, handheld camera and jittery editing style, with nonprofessional actors and unscripted moments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21087,"menu_order":437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_view_id":""},"tags":[],"event_type":[165],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-24515","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_organizer-motovun-film-festival-en","event_type-main-program"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
