This film documents the horrible realities of the ongoing war in Ukraine. A companion piece to the director’s 2015 Oscar- and Emmy-nominated film Winter on Fire, it captures the courage and fierce determination of the Ukrainian people, transporting us into a war that started in 2014, immediately after the Maidan Uprising (the Revolution of Dignity), and has continued long past the 2022 Russian invasion. Through the personal stories of civilians, children, soldiers, doctors, the country's elderly, journalists, religious leaders, and international volunteers, this film becomes a humanizing diary of millions of people whose lives have been turned upside down by eight years of conflict.

Tickets for this screening are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
