      Helps us see the forbidden facts

      A powerful documentary, which the far-right elements from Ukraine and elsewhere mistakenly portray as "pro-Russian propaganda" (check the one star votes).

      No. What we have here is an, admittedly, somewhat one-sided portrayal of events leading up to the US-sponsored coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014, but since we have already heard the entire narrative of the other side being parroted by MSM, this is not an issue. It's not an issue because everything presented here is factual, accompanied with plentiful video proof. The only error I've found is that Khrushchev was not really Ukrainian (he was pro-Ukrainian, but ethnically Russian).

      The narrative goes back to WW2 and examines the roots of Ukrainian nationalism. It then continues to explain the US Cold-War involvement, and the continued interests of, especially, neoconservative elements of the US to poke the Russian bear until there's a reaction that could be used to make Russia weaker.

      Watch this as soon as you can because there's a chance it will be banned (though Oliver Stone's name may mean that does not happen). And notice that people criticizing this film only talk in general terms without disputing anything of relevance that is present in the film.

      Grain of Salt.

      I agree with another reviewer that suggested first watching Winter On Fire and then watching this one. And then I want to add take both with a grain of salt and do your own independent research.

      Both documentaries seem to give the perspective of either side without really painting a complete picture.

      Viewing both really helps you understand that this situation is not black and white but a very complicated gray.

      A great podcast if you are looking to do more research on this topic and how the US Specifically has gotten involved in this conflict is Congressional Dish. This podcast also lists all of its sources (including congressional hearings, spending bills, everything is sourced). This podcaster is American and she does not dive too much into what Putin has done in this conflict but that is only because she operates on the fact that she has no control over Russia's government but since her (and all American's) tax dollars and her elected officials are making these decisions she is trying to inform other American's what is being done in our name.

      Episode Numbers: 207, 244, 248.

      I stand with...The truth

      Heyyy like so many people I was believing the stories being pumped onto the news. I think I stopped and looked into what was being pumped into brain when i saw Marina Ambromowitch was standing next to the yellow and blue flag I thought instantly that I had to question the narrative that was being virtue signaled. One name stood out to me and that was of Victoria Nuland, and once i went down the history of the cookie lady I learned that this who narrative being pushed is wag the dog BS and that people better wake up (not woke) really fast because joejoe is taking taking us into a path we cant get out of. Please watch this movie. And then follow up with the part 2 that was released 2019.

      pieces of puzzle

      A very useful documentary for discover, understand the Ukrainean file in fair manner. Inspired portrait of Ukrainean nationalism , precise image of the events of near reality, subjective, in some measure, not doubts but great for development of the other side front to official speech of media and politicians.

      The right answer for many holes about recent events .

      Not only explanations but the necessary frame for interpret the reality near us , for observe the nuances and solve the puzzle defining, in some measure, our lives.

      Yes--there are two sides to every coin.

      1. Watch the movie. It's dull, but shows there are two sides to every argument.

      2. Ukraine has been in conflicts for Years.

      3. Ukraine has been corrupt forever.

      4. I found the next two minutes after 19:30 thought provoking.

      5. As of today, we USA have given Ukraine 1 billion dollars.

      6. That billion could be spent at home. We have a huge Homeleness problem.

      7. I feel sorry for the Ukrainians that are moral, and uncorrupted, but this is Not our fight.

      8. I'm beginning to wonder if we should have taken Poland into NATO now.

      9. I don't want WW3 with a nuclear entity, and especially for a country that has been in conflict for years.

      10. Watch the movie, and see what you think. I forgot about all the corruption in Ukraine. That billion dollars needs to be strictly accounted for. My hope is it all goes to the people, and the people's weapons, and not to some guy in a track suit.

      11. You want to cry? Go to an American homeless site.
