The film, made by colleagues in the TV3 News Service – Ieva Vārna, cameramen Sergejs Medvedevs and Dzintars Rudzītis – collects materials filmed in Ukraine a few days before the Russian full-scale invasion, as well as events in the first weeks of the war. It's a collection of stories by people about the horrors of the war caused by Russia, becoming refugees and standing for the freedom of their homeland in spite of the atrocities done by the occupiers.

When Russia started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the 24th of February, the world was shocked, but few could imagine the barbarity that the Kremlin regime would unleash against the Ukrainian nation. This documentary presents an insight and eyewitness accounts from the crimes.

It is now the ninth month since Russia started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and is ruthlessly trying to occupy it. The Ukrainians' fighting spirit and love for their country, however, are irrepressible – they fiercely resist and drive the Russians out of the cities they've temporarily taken. Unfortunately, the occupying forces have left horror, misery and scars behind them.

A documentary that looks back at the past year - at how Russia's war in Ukraine has evolved, changing and transforming the lives of Ukrainians.

It has already been 100 days since the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but the occupying troops are not going to retreat and are intensifying their horrific attacks in Donbas.

After several decades, we are again faced with the threat of war and attempts to redraw the borders of Europe. Is the effort to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty only a question for Ukraine? What is it like to live at the front line now, where fate can be determined by the battles of superpowers for zones of influence?
