THE BASEMENT
400 residents of the Ukrainian village Yahidne we round up and forced to stay in a basement for a month. as the Dead were stacked up in a corner like wood, the residents waited to find out their ultimate fate. Freed they tell their story for the camera as we listen to the words from a diary written during captivity with the expectation it would be found after everyone was dead. A slap in the face film, this is a you are their document of war crimes committed by Russian Soldiers. It is also a moving look at how people can survive terrible things and come out on the otherside.

AFTER THE RAIN: PUTIN’S STOLEN CHILDREN COME HOME
The children of Ukrainian parents stolen by the Russian army and rescued are sent to a farm in the country in order to decompress and begin the healing process. Low key doc about the trauma of war quietly sneaks up on you and hits you over the head. While things seem largely okay at the start we quickly realize that isn't the case and we watch as the healing begins. This is a small gem of a film.
