Kostya Proletarsky (Russia)On 19 June 2009 Kostya Proletarsky, a drug user and HIV activist, died of tuberculosis meningitis at the Botkin Hospital in St. Petersburg, Russia. His death was the result of three years of mistreatment and torture at the prison facility No. 4 in Karelia, Russia. In Russia, where drug treatment is barely available, imprisonment becomes the main “solution” to the problem of drug addiction. The animated hand drawn documentary, featuring the original audio interview with Kostya and his mother, Irina, aims to commemorate Kostya Proletarsky and many others who have not survived prison systems around the world. The animated movie is produced by the Rights Reporter Foundation, narrated by Anya Sarang, directed by István Gábor Takács, and is hand drawn frame by frame by Lili Rontó.

The Doctor Franjo Groterhermen (Germany)Franjo Grotenhermen is a documentary about the life of one of the pioneers in Germany for medicinal cannabis . The documentary takes place during the Cannabinoid Conference in Berlin 2019.

In 2014 he began to work at SCOPIC, one of the pioneer companies of VR content creation in Europe.Soon he realized that VR offered different story-telling capabilities for journalism, to be able to showcase the reality of today’s social and political import issues. His documentary “Refugees” has already won 3 film festivals, it has been nominated in 6 other festivals and it was also selected to raise awareness to the world leaders during the World Government Summit 2017 in Dubai.
