Chronicling events that unfolded over 93 days in 2013 and 2014, this
documentary witnesses the formation of a new civil rights movement in
Ukraine. What started as peaceful student demonstrations supporting
European integration morphed into a full-fledged violent revolution
calling for the resignation of the nation's president. The film captures
the remarkable mobilization of nearly a million citizens from across
the country protesting the corrupt political regime that utilized
extreme force against its own people to suppress their demands and
freedom of expression.

I watched this last night. It's amazing yet sad to see how oblivious our media is to other issues that don't directly affect americans on a daily basis in the news. This documentary is definitely eye opening.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was incredible. I was honestly so angry and upset during certain parts of it because I had no idea that Ukraine was having these sorts of problems, or at least not to that magnitude. I would definitely recommend this nugget!
