DocumentaryWar

Ten journalists were killed in the line of duty during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. For the Russians, they are one of the priority targets because they prevent them from controlling the occupied territories. Ukrainian journalists destroyed the myth that the Russian army was welcomed with joy. They talked about rallies in the occupied cities where the invaders were shouted at: "Go home!". For this, they were kidnapped, beaten, and threatened with threats to them and their families. This phenomenon was systemic - the occupiers had prepared entire lists on which they were looking for media representatives. In this film by Yanina Kornienko and Yakov Lyubchych, stories of journalists under occupation against whom the Russians committed their heinous crimes are presented.

Directors: Yakiv Liubchych, Yanina Korniyenko.
