Everyone involved in the making of “Shindisi” was affected by what happened in Georgia in 2008, and thus invested in director Dito Tsintsadze’s mission: to remind the world of what happened — and is still happening — to their country.
“This creeping invasion is going on every week…every day. The border is moving meter by meter. No one knows what to do because any act of resistance could trigger another full Russian occupation.”
Inspired by true events, “Shindisi” follows a handful of residents in the Georgian village of the same name, who decide not to evacuate after news comes that the Russian military is preparing to invade. The villagers come to the aid of Georgian soldiers ambushed by a Russian general who has decided to ignore the news that ceasefire negotiations were underway.
