My Freedom tells the story of Alicija (33), a Polish-born liberal free-thinker, living in Latvia, who joins the Awakening movement in the late 80s and 90s. Awakening (Atmoda) was a movement advocating for the restoration of Latvia's independence from the Soviet Union. Alicija's social activism soon intertwines with her personal life, as she learns of her husband's potential involvement with the KGB.

The film was produced by Aija Berzina through Latvia’s TASSE Film and coproduced by Marija Razgute through Lithuania's M-Films. The National Film Centre of Latvia, the State Cultural Capital Foundation of Latvia, the Lithuanian Film Centre and Creative Europe MEDIA supported the project.

My Freedom has been selected as Latvia‘s candidate for the 96th Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award in the Best International Feature Film category.
