The violent actions of the authorities did not stop the protests. The film "War" by Daria Demur, Ekaterina Ignashevich, Daria Gerasimenko and Maksia Pakhomov is about the street confrontation between demonstrators and the police.
The "Akrestino" detention center in Minsk received the gloomy fame of a place where people were especially severely beaten and tortured. However, this did not stop the demonstrations, and the authorities - at least temporarily, stopped their attempts to forcefully suppress the protests - and people freely took to the streets of Belarusian cities, and demonstrations in Minsk became unprecedented in number in the post-Soviet years.
A film by Daria Demur and Katerina Ignashevich "We Are Walking" is about the confrontation between peaceful demonstrators and riot police in Minsk.
