Activist, The

Activist, The

Twenty-something Andrius is skeptical about his boyfriend Deividas's activism and fears that they may soon become the targets of neo-Nazis. Deividas is the head of Rainbow Kaunas, a group organizing the first Pride celebration in the second biggest city in Lithuania. One night, after coming back from a fight, Andrius finds that Deividas has been murdered. Seeing indifferent reactions from the police - and from Lithuanian society at large - Andrius takes on a new mission: to infiltrate the local neo-Nazi organization, find his boyfriend's killer and serve his own brand of justice. From prolific writer-director Romas Zabarauskas, The Activist is a stylish thriller with a strong sociopolitical message, celebrating the brave activists who stand up against threats to liberal democracy around the world.
