WHY THE
CONTENT FUND?

  • In many of the territories the Content Fund supports, independent media is in dire straits, silenced by repressive measures and crowded out by media operators loyal to autocrats. All this takes place against the background of the mass production of Kremlin-aligned disinformation and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
  • To compensate for this, the Content Fund provides funding for Russian-language content creation, acquisition, marketing, distribution and capacity building.
  • By building a relationship with audiences based on truth and trust, the Content Fund can reach vulnerable and captured audiences and provide an effective response to the disinformation problem.

SOME OF THE LATEST PRODUCTIONS SUPPORTED BY THE
CONTENT FUND

The Prince of Bubuieci

Produced by: Realitatea

When an African man working in Moldova is falsely accused of human trafficking by a corrupt cop, his fight for freedom exposes a society’s buried truths. The Prince of Bubuieci is a gripping, six-part drama that unpacks racism, corruption, and resilience in a place where hope can feel like rebellion. With a bold cast and an unflinching lens, the series challenges prejudice while celebrating the power of solidarity and the dream of belonging.

Fedor

Produced by: Jurnal TV

Fedor Fedorvich, a wise Moldovan village elder with zero tolerance for nonsense, takes on fake news with wit and warmth. In this sharp satire from Jurnal TV, comedian Petru Oistric unpacks real-life disinformation stories brought to his doorstep — turning each one into a clever lesson in truth, humour, and community trust.

The Forest

Produced by: Flagshtok

The Forest tells haunting stories from the 1930s Stalinist repressions, including the tale of a Gomel official who survived execution in the notorious Novobelitsky Forest. Decades of secrecy and conflicting narratives hide the forest’s tragic history, where tens of thousands of lives may be buried. Through archival footage, audio recordings, and eyewitness testimony, the film confronts the brutal realities of repression, exploring memory, survival, and the search for truth in a land still hiding its past.
