Ukraine: The Road To War

We trace the geopolitical history of the Ukrainian conflict from 2014 onwards, uncovering its roots in history. Production began in May 2021, when the conflict was at a standstill and the international community was trying to solve it. From the beginning, we had access to top officials participating in these negotiations. Back then, we already wanted to show what was at stake in those negotiations, the weaknesses of Europe and the return of Cold War dynamics.
This documentary will also tell the story of civilians in Donbas. They welcomed us into their lives, where war was enmeshed in everyday reality.
