Oleg Vyshniakov - Ukraine and Israel. Film "Winter on fire" directed by Eugene Afineevskii.

Dear friends,

The events taking place in Ukraine for last year and a half leave no one indifferent. The whole world sympathizes and follows the developments, but TV and media can not demonstrate the full scope of the tragedy. Anyone who saw it with his own eyes, of course, understands. Writers, directors, photographers want their art to show how the events really developed, to involve the audience to be a part of the events.

Israeli director did it. Film "Winter on fire" directed by Eugene Afineevskii about the Maidan events won the first prize at an international film festival in Toronto. The film showed patriotism, courage and unity of Ukrainians for the whole world.

The work also won the Audience Award in the category of documentary; it shows that people want to know the truth about the Maidan, the events in the east of the country, about the life of Ukraine.

I am very glad that artists help the Ukrainians to bring their pain and trouble to the world community. Today, Ukraine needs help to defeat the enemy and to defend its integrity and independence. Such films as "Winter on Fire" remind politicians and officials again that the events in Ukraine are not of Hollywood production. There would be no "Stop, done!", raising of the dead, washing away the make-up, embracing between the enemies. There was a revolution and now there is a war. Bloody, terrible, real. And the world must help us to stop the aggression against this country.

The director said that the film will be available for users of the Netflix service on October 9.
I recommend it for viewing.
