“A unique film about World War II through the eyes of her children: a masterpiece that everyone should see will be brought to Ukraine.

This is a truly unique project.”

~Max Tone, Akcenty UA

In the US, they made a movie about the biggest tragedy of the Ukrainian people: "Who are we going to shoot today?"

Article from BBC Ukraine

"Boy, who are we going to shoot today - Germans or Russians?" asks a Soviet officer at 5-year-old Bohdan, holding out his gun to his parents' eyes. The year 1944 is coming and the life of the family is literally in the hands of the child.

~ Margarita Malyukova

“Other nations have a nasty habit of negotiating Ukraine’s fate without their consent….”
