About the event

Friday, March 6, 2026 from 7 to 9 PM EST This film delves into the turbulent and extraordinary life of Fyodor Dostoevsky—Russia’s haunted genius who transformed suffering into some of the most profound novels ever written. His path was marked by imprisonment, poverty, illness, and relentless inner conflict, yet out of this darkness emerged stories that dissect morality, faith, and the human psyche with unmatched intensity.

In this film, we explore how novels such as Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov redefined the possibilities of literature, inviting us into 19th-century Russia to encounter a man torn between doubt and belief, sin and redemption, who gave voice to the eternal questions of the human soul.
