This is not an exhaustive list of what to watch, but should get you started if you wanted to see some documentaries and films that give you a little more insight into Ukraine and the war currently being raged against it by Russia. This is a follow up to Part 1 published last year .
I will add more as I watch them and feel free to send me some of your recommendations as well or comment in comments below.
“In a region once celebrated as the post-Soviet “Bible Belt,” a rapidly growing community of Evangelical and Protestant believers becomes a prime target under Russia’s expanding occupation—enduring seized churches, tortured pastors, abducted children, and coerced renunciations as they struggle to keep their faith alive in secret.”
“Russia often claims to defend Christian values. But in reality, churches that don’t support Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime are banned, and their clergy face systemic repression. In this investigative documentary, No God but Theirs, the Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit uncovers the persecution of Ukrainian Christian communities in Melitopol — a city in eastern Ukraine now under Russian occupation. Melitopol has long been a place of religious and cultural diversity, where Christian churches — including vibrant Protestant communities — coexisted peacefully. But after Russia’s full-scale invasion, everything changed. As occupation took hold, churches became more than places of worship — they became pillars of resilience. Locals gathered for daily prayers in the city’s central square. Russia responded with a crackdown.” The Kyiv Independent
Porcelain War follows Slava Leontyev, Anya Stasenko, and Andrey Stefanov during the war in Ukraine. All of them join the Ukrainian defense,[6] and Slava works as a machine gun trainer. Even as the war goes on, Slava and Anya create porcelain figurines[7] in resistance to the war. The film emphasises the purpose of art during conflict as well as national pride.
