An impeccably made story-of-a-siege documentary that shows you how a revolution evolves, step by step, into a collective writhing being.

Village Voice

Top Critic

During military battles, bullets whiz by and explosions shake the cameras. Nerve-racking scenes follow Ukraine's extraordinarily bold volunteer soldiers.

Top Critic

It is a brutal yet affecting film which, while wearing its agenda proudly on its sleeve, imparts a sense of hope and even uplift.
