Herocracy

Georgian filmmaker and political activist Goga Khaindrava finished work on the documentary TV series, which is titled Herocratia and deals with prisoner torture and other government crimes against the population during the nine years Mikheil Saakashvili's National Movement was running the country. Also former political prisoners attended the premiere of the new series, which will be aired on Imedi and GDS starting from September 6. "The main idea of this film is for people to really acknowledge what kind of disaster we went through," Khaindrava told journalists. "People don't know what kind of hell some people went through." The TVseries consists of only 16 episodes, but Imedi TV divided the series and broadcast it in 2 seasons and 32 episodes.

Directed by Goga Khaindrava, Herocracy leans on a strong ensemble — Yuna Shapatava, Giorgi Megrelishvili, David Kvirtskhalia — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
