In “Streets Loud With Echoes” filmmaker Katerina Suvorova captures a youth-powered civil movement sparked by the shocking murder of Denis Ten, who made history when he became the first ever Kazakhstani figure skater to win an Olympic medal. The doc follows Kazakhstan citizens who want to challenge the political regime and make them take notice of their citizenry. The 95-minute docu made its world premiere at Hot Docs earlier this week. Variety has been given access to an exclusive clip from the documentary.
