Baikal Films’ Little Warriors follows a small, tight-knit team of young activists who become accidental guardians of their lakeside village when an external corporation begins covert operations nearby. Shot on the windswept shores and silvered birch groves around Lake Baikal, the film pairs intimate human drama with sweeping natural imagery: children racing along rocky coves, elders telling old stories by lantern light, and clandestine meetings behind shuttered warehouses. The protagonists—led by a determined teenager named Misha and his friend Anya, an amateur radio operator—uncover evidence of illegal drilling that threatens both the community’s livelihood and the fragile ecosystem.
