Experiencing Interruptions?

Ride the Line

A daring and deeply human Road movie.

In the darkest times, while being in the worst shapes of their life, two desperate friends decided to cycle 1,500 km along the entire front line in Ukraine, through liberated villages and towns, with a charitable purpose.

This movie tells the impressive stories of the people they meet on their way and, finally, the terrible consequences of the war, which turned into an experience that will undoubtedly be etched in their memory for a lifetime.

On top of that de-occupied, but still mined territories, prepared many surprises for the two daredevils on the line of war, obscurity and longing for victory.

Director Statement

When I first thought about making videos as a profession I supposed that it will teach me to see all the best in the world at different angles. But nowadays reality is that I pass through the dilapidated towns and villages of my country and listen to stories that bring goosebumps and tears to my eyes. Believe me, I would prefer not to make movies like this and ride my bike somewhere in the middle of Alps rather than in the middle of ruined buildings. But these are Ukrainian realities today. I'm really addicted to cycling, but even more I love my country, and this film was born out of this love.
