The long february - What happened in Bucha? (2025)
The Long February tells the story of the Russian occupation of the Bucha region through the eyes of those who survived it. Combining testimonies of civilians, police officers and artists with private footage shared by the participants themselves and archival material, the film explores not only the occupation itself but also its lasting human consequences. Rather than ending with Bucha's liberation, The Long February examines memory, trauma and resilience, revealing how the war continues to shape the lives of Bucha's residents.
