Before 2019, Natalia Zubkova was a homemaker and a mother of three from a coal-mining Siberian city of Kiselyovsk. But when extreme air pollution caused by open-pit coal mining covered white snowy cityscape with black soot, it was time to act. ‘Black Snow’, a documentary directed by Alina Simone and produced by Kirstine Baford, tracks Natalia’s journey as a citizen journalist, documenting environmental catastrophe in her city and trying to hold local politicians and coal-mining magnates to account.
In this episode of Trouble with the Truth, the makers of ‘Black Snow’ Alina and Kirstine tell Lana what drew them to Natalia’s story and why this David v Goliath battle succinctly captures the struggle of environmental journalists and activist against the mafia-like industries. Alina also talks about the pressure she was under when filming in Russia and Kirstine explores the concept of humanitarian filmmaking and how they helped to evacuate Natlalia following death threats.
