Magadan hosts free anti-drug documentary screening for teens next month

A free documentary screening will take place in Magadan next month to raise awareness about drug-related dangers. Through the Looking Glass will be shown at the Gornyak cinema on April 7, 2026, starting at 2:00 PM. Organisers have recommended the event for viewers aged 16 and above.

The screening is a joint effort by the Russian Interior Ministry's Main Directorate for the Magadan Region and the Magadan Mayor's Office Culture Department. Its primary goal is to discourage young people from engaging in illegal drug trafficking. The film also highlights the risks of substance abuse while promoting healthier lifestyle choices.

High school students have been specifically invited to attend. The organisers have advised discretion due to the documentary's mature themes.

The event will run for one afternoon only, with no admission fee. Authorities aim to reach teenagers and young adults through this initiative. Further details about local drug prevention policies were not provided in the announcement.
