The Hardest Hour

This film was created from 200 hours of chronicles: survival, resistance, and life during the war. Every minute was filmed by Ukrainians with their mobile phones. Some of them survived, some were killed. But their last actions and voices have remained. Can you feel it?

Director Statement

If I and all the creators of the world didn't try to fill evil with sense and grace and identified it as dirt, blood, and a child's cry that can't be silenced, we would definitely save the mirrors of our soles to reflect the light of people's portrait's, children's smiles, moments of tenderness and happiness.
