Unique, compelling and Intimate

Most people probably go into this movie thinking they know what it's going to be, but keep an open mind. It gives a unique and intimate POV into what life is like for those on the front lines, those they leave behind, and the strong connection between the two. The filmmaker had access to many environments that few are able to obtain, and the way it's edited gives a visual perspective that leads to a visceral one. It has a specific POV but the filmmaker presents the information in such a way that the viewer is free to make their own conclusions, which is the sign of a well balanced, well put together doc. I thought I'd watch a little bit and then come back for more later, but it's so compelling I watched entire film without realizing the time had flown by.

A powerful film about the war in Ukraine

This film gives a very good insight to the devastation of war in Ukraine. It is not your typical action movie. It is, however, a very emotional film about people caught up in the tragedies of war. The choice of music was really good and really complements the mood in the film. Everyone should se this. It is so easy to forget how terrible war is, and in war what everyone takes for granted is no longer available, like food, water and every day living. Everything is thrown into chaos, but you rely on family, friends and your brothers in arms. I can really recommend this film, but be warned: You will be crying quite a bit at times.

Intimate view of life in wartime

This film provides a series of vignettes covering a slice of society from mayor to soldier to volunteer to priest. It's well shot and cut, including great drone shots of Ukrainian scenery and the effects of war. I recommend you take a look.

Now, in lieu of spoiling this film I'll use the remaining characters of the 600 minimum to implore you to call your elected representatives and demand more help for Ukraine. As an ongoing genocide we are ethically compelled to stop this crime against Ukraine as soon as possible. Ukraine is fighting for the future of democracy in Europe. Dithering on helping will only make the fight against imperial Russia more costly in the future.

This movie had me weeping like a baby

This film is about Ukraine. I guess you would call it a documentary, but it's not narrated it takes you through the tragedy that is happening in Ukraine! It's not about gunfights it's about the people and their spirit and what they have to endure, which if anyone knows what is happening they will understand.

I defy anyone not to weep during this movie.

There is one scene for which anyone who has watched a love one will understand it broke me all of the emotions.of losing a loved one hit me again.

Benjamin. Goldhagen has done an amazing job of delicately balancing the emotions a movie like has.

I wrpt like a baby and I weep for uKraine now.

Essential Viewing. You must choose: Good or Evil?

The reality of what's been taking place in Ukraine in an honest and raw form. While being brutally attacked by an aggressor, you must decide. You come together, reflect and find the courage to overcome the evil that threatens your fellow people; your culture; your life. That is exactly what Ukraine is doing right now and right before our eyes. The movie captures the coming together of civilians from all walks of life; their passion for life; how they work together to overcome despite demolished homes, murdered families; looking all-out brutality directly in the eyes. I was particularly moved by moments that involved groups of Ukrainians coming together as one to share duties in the kitchen and in helping others evacuate shelled areas. The definition of courage is contained within.
