A Rising Fury

  Lesya Kalynska, Ruslan Batytskyi

  Ukraine      2022    

Synopsis

Filmed over eight years, A Rising Fury chronicles the evolution of the Russo-Ukrainian war from a deeply personal perspective. The film follows Pavlo, a passionate Ukrainian who enlists in the military following the 2013 Maidan Revolution in Kyiv and Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea. Juxtaposing front-line firefights with Pavlo’s love story, the film is a moving document of resistance, resilience, and the human cost of the fight for freedom.
