A touching story of bravery of the Ukrainian people and the disgrace of police forces.
As a Greek I can say this was silenced. Respect Ukraine
Hard to watch but I find it so inspiring. An incredible first hand look on a conflict that shows the hidden power of collective action
It is really interesting and full of knowledge
A portrait of strength and ambition to stop living in fear. Real footage that defies you to look away while holding you tight to the screen.
An awesome documentary about the protests in Ukraine.
Excellent coverage of the Euromaidan revolution that rocket Kiev in late 2013/early 2014
Gives good insight into the Ukrainian struggle, and the grim truth of what must happen to cause change in a rigged totalitarian government.
A film brutal enough to keep the audience asking: "Is this film or is it reality."
Award winning documentary about the Euromaidan demonstrations. Both gripping and sad. An absolute must watch documentary
