Development

Vedey originally came up with the idea for the documentary during the conflict when he and Guzhva worked as freelance journalists. Vedey subsequently served as a soldier in the 93rd Brigade and then came up with the idea for an entire series of films about the conflict as told by 93rd Brigade members.[1] The creative team spent three years editing the footage to create the documentary, with 50 different interviews with members and former members of the Ukrainian military.[3] The first part, telling the story of the early part of the war including the battle of Ilovaisk, was released in 2018.[2] The second part, telling the story of the battle for Donetsk airport was released in 2020.[4] A third instalment is due to be released in 2021. The film has been dubbed into languages including English, German, and French with support from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.[5]
