#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Winter on Fire / Zyma u Vohni' (2015)



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(1hr 38mins)

📣Murder at the Revolution: A Ukrainian president's betrayal to join the EU sparks 'the largest pro-European rally in history', and the anger of a pro-Russian government.

👍Glory to the heroes:
Inspiring and harrowing, this highly-crafted documentary is film-making at its most accomplished and at its most relevant.
Unless your watching this from the Kremlin, you won't finish this film without feeling emotional, electrified and appalled.

👎Cowards in black:
Some may find it difficult to watch. You'll start the film thinking reason, compassion and sanity will prevail, but it won't. And just when you think the situation can't deteriorate any futher, it does again, and again, and again.
While Oscar-nom'd for Best Doc, WOF lost out to 'Amy' in 2015, in one of the most excruitating Oscar losses since 'Collective'.

In Quotes:
"We are not afraid to die for freedom.
Freedom is for us.
We will win,
and Ukraine will be part of Europe."

"My little daughter came to me and asked me not to go.
'Poppa, I'll grow up and bring them down myself.'
And I told her, 'If we don't take them down now, no one will ever be able to do it.'"

"I can't accept after all the wars we've had in the world, we are still resolving our problems by killing each other."
