Nashi
Daya Cahen
At a Nashi Summer Camp in Russia, 10,000 boys and girls are preparing themselves for a heroic future. They are the chosen ones of Russia: the next-generation managers and politicians at the behest of a country striving to be global leader of the 21st century. In 2007, Daya Cahen was allowed to film this youth movement camp as created by Vladimir Putin. Nashi means »Our Ones«. She captured her impressions with two cameras and presents them in a double projection.
