A warning that this movie is graphic, unsettling, and extremely uncomfortable to watch at times, however that is precisely why it is equally as powerful. It has some narration to explain to the viewer the context of what is being shown, however in general the authors are taking the visual approach and let the footage speak for itself, which makes this movie a great journalistic piece. Kudos to authors for risking their lives to get this footage, and to AT and Frontline for allowing the movie to be accessible (I watched it for free on youtube), because it is important for the world to see what has happened and is still happening. The camera does not lie and this is how Russia's "liberation" looks like. Next time you hear someone defend Putin's actions or try to justify Russia's actions, just ask them to watch this documentary and make their own conclusions from the ground-level footage. It is unfortunate that there is no end in sight for the war and nobody knows how and when it will end, but bringing awareness is important to make sure that the world does not forget that the war is still raging, and there have been and will be more stories similar or worse than the ones depicted in this movie that unfortunately will be left untold.
