Many thanks to the Lithuanian Documentary Film Festival - LDFF, Čiurlionio Art Gallery Chicago, Ateitis Foundation, Draugas News, and all my dear Lithuanians in Chicago who came to my film First Class Citizen produced by Zen DiVision screenings.
Your insights, questions, and reactions have added immense value to the movie. The locations of the screenings were so touching... I could find libraries of Lithuanian books, archives, a museum of medicine, children's classes, the spirit of the old cloister, etc... I remember when I was a little girl my beloved exiled grandfather received letters with red and blue lines on the envelope from Illinois and now I'm here...
It was healing after the experience that my son has no right to speak Lithuanian, to visit Lithuania, and to see his Lithuanian mother he has a right only 4 times per year. This all happened in Sweden and was decided by Swedish institutions.

Once again, thank you, dear organizers, Audra Elle, Daina Cyvas, Viktorija Cernicenko, Ramune Motekaitis, and others for your dedication, and thank you, audience, for your presence. Your support inspires me to continue advocating for stories that deserve to be shared. ❤

First Class Citizen
Synopsis:
The story of a husband who presents himself as a first-class citizen exposes the mechanisms of hypocrisy. In this documentary, Diana Maria Olsson shares her most intimate experiences from a violent relationship and at the same time challenges the image of Sweden as a country that respects gender equality. In doing so, the director not only works through her own story, but also gathers experiences from women in similar situations. Her motivation to inspire women to have the courage to leave abusive relationships goes beyond the scope of a self-documentary.
Country, Year: Sweden, 2021
Runtime: 57 Min
Language: Swedish
Subtitles: Englisch / German
Director: Diana Maria Olsson
Writer: Diana Maria Olsson
Producer: Diana Maria Olsson

Unforgettable moments from International Human Rights Film Festival-Albania, where First Class Citizen has an Official Selection. Thank you so much, dear organizers! ❤️Congratulations to everyone who supports this project! It was a great honor to be here among humanistic lawyers and talented filmmakers. The quality of the festival was enormous! It is a non-competitive festival and to be selected and to be here is the biggest award. Instead of competing, all we have to do is create. First Class Citizen was screened together with the film about the war in Ukraine on the last day, just before the closing ceremony of the festival. Program - https://ihrffa.net/films-2022/
