WOW! I don‘t even know where to begin to comment on this documentary. The images are gruesome, but you knew it was only a portion of what could have been caught on film. The devastation of Ukraine is unthinkable to a North American culture that has never known modern invasion. One of my first thoughts, as I saw Mariupol as a city that could have been one of our urban cities, was how indiscriminate the bombing was. Domestic, retail, health care or corporate targets, bombed not for strategic military defence but, entirely, to terrorize and subjugate a people. I thought, this is what it would look like if aircraft and artillery bombed my metro - Dartmouth/Halifax or Bedford. Then I thought, what would I, or my neighbours, do under such an assault and threat of further devastation? The graphic human suffering was difficult to see but even in the hour and a half of watching the film I could feel myself becoming desensitized to the brutal images, overwhelmed by the sheer horror. Seeing the footage taken in its timeline, then seeing it broadcast globally as it found its way out of Ukraine, to only be negated by the Russian propaganda machine with lies and disinformation, made me outraged. Throughout, I was struck by the courage of the filmmakers driven by the belief that if the world witnessed what was happening they would act. A belief for which they were willing to die. That alone makes me give this film a 10 (critically important) out of 10. [Historical Documentary]
