Veselin Dimanov, director of the most watched documentary “Morality is goodness” is Enlightener of the Year, 2024.

His film tells the story of lawyer and university lecturer, the late Christian Takov, whose words and personal example have become a benchmark of good citizenship, integrity and relentless opposition to the injustices in our society.

“Do not be afraid of the dark! Light a candle!” With these words, which belong to Christian Takov, Veselin Dimanov received the award he won by popular vote in the 11th edition of the Enlightener of the Year campaign of the Bulgarian National Radio. He added that all nominees for the prize inspire, give wings and lend a meaning.
