Ukraine on Fire

I looked throw the polarizing reviews. And it's rather sad. There isn't "the truth," or "pure Russian propaganda." This documentary was made before the war in Ukraine was made public to the Western World. Most of the polarizing reviews are written after the major invasion of Ukraine.

Now after getting the nonsense out of the way. I really enjoyed this documentary because it gives the audience a fresh look at the Ukrainian conflict, between the East and the West. Oliver Stone I'm sure isn't a genius like Noam Chomsky but he is looking at the Ukrainian problem in this doc, from his perspective, and this is very obvious. Gray or grey...not right or wrong.

What I really enjoyed about Oliver's documentary, is that I got a fresh perspective, different from the major networks from around the Globe. I go new information that I was never exposed to before. Giving me an opportunity research new material.

A documentary isn't meant to be a justification for one cause or another, it's hardly two hours long! A good documentary is meant to peak your interests and open your mind to new perspectives...that is all. Any doc that claims "The Truth," is obviously just propaganda/marketing.

Oliver went out of his way not to make an outright claim on knowing the answer. And this is the reason I enjoyed watching it so much. Right or wrong, I got new insightful information! Which is a lot more than what our mass media feeds us...

It really is a fantastic documentary about the events that happened in Ukraine. Particularly interesting to see American journalists tell the truth about the events that happened in Ukraine and how American diplomats meddled in foreign affairs. Really eye opening and refreshing. Would have been a 10/10 but it's a 9 because I felt the flames on every scene change was a bit too much for my liking. The content, however, is a 10.

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.

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.

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.
