Emmy- and Oscar-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky’s new film, "Freedom on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom,” explores the courage and cost of Ukrainians’ resistance to Russia’s unprovoked aggression. Following the lives of everyday Ukrainians, the film seeks to reconcile the hopeful aftermath of the 2014 Maidan Revolution with the difficult realities of the country’s eight-year conflict with Russia — including Russia’s devastating full-scale invasion in 2022. Throughout, Ukrainian civilians, soldiers, doctors, elderly, journalists, religious leaders and international leaders continuously stand their ground against Russian brutality. The result is a moving portrait of Ukraine’s unwavering bravery, compassion, resilience, and unity.
