Belsat TV Channel has prepared several new movies for the new season, including Valery Mazynski's documentary "As a strike of a lightning". The documentary is about the leader of anti-Soviet underground organization Rastsislau Lapitski. Memories of those who knew Lapitski personally are widely used in the movie. As it was informed by the director Valer Mazynski, to the European Radio for Belarus, it was not difficult to get the wintesses of those events to speak:

Mazynski: "These people are the ones who are not afraid - they have nothing to be afraid of. Old people have less things to fear. It wasn't a problem. Naturally, not with everyone. I think there's no fear in the way we imagine it. People do speak... Moreover, it's Western Belarus. Probably, it would be the other way in the Eastern Belarus. There's no as much fear in the Western Belarus, as in the East".

Apart from documentary materials, there is also event reconstruction with participation of actors, in the movie.
