Maidan Massacre is an investigative documentary into the shootings which occurred on February 20th, 2014, when nearly 50 people were gunned down on the streets of Kiev's Independence square. The massacre was the result of a massive three month long protest against the former Government of Viktor Yanukovich and his decision to reject a trade deal with the EU. Although no thorough investigation had been conducted, the blame was immediately placed on the officers who served under Yanukovich. This program investigates the scene of the crime, interviewing those who were there when the shootings occurred, and seeks to answer the questions as to who really was shooting that day on Kiev's Independence square - a place known to the people of Ukraine, as Maidan.

A documentary which provides the most accurate account of the role of snipers harboring fascist ideology in the overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014. The coup government emerged with the active logistical support and financing of the US CIA. The evidence demonstrates that most of the violence was from Ukranian nationalists. To date the Ukranian government has been unable to charge and convict police officers who were portrayed by the Western media as responsible for the violence. For those interested in geopolitics and the rise of fascism, this is an essential film. This film discredits the accounts provided by the major US and European broadcast and print media through through forensic evidence and interviews with key participants in the overthrow of a government, which, despite its flaws, was elected in democratic elections. This film calls into question the tired doctrine the US and west are committed to advancing democracy.
