WARSAW FILM FESTIVAL 

ДЕНЬ УКРАИНСКОГО ДОБРОВОЛЬЦА (ONE DAY IN UKRAINE)

Recommended. A life-like depiction of the war. The documentary just puts you in the middle of war-torn Kyiv - in March 2022. The city's virtually abandoned, children and dogs play in metro stations, troops patrol the city under the constant noise of bombing, shelling, sirens, a drone films burnt fields, looters are stripped and tied to posts, people cook, dead bodies and car wrecks lie along roads.  An ordinary day in a time of madness. Brutal. But so is the reality of Ukraine. Excerpts from "Мої думки тихі" ("My Thoughts Are Silent") and another film are used. I loved the anti-Russian song.
