The Treaty of Versailles, and the League of Nations policy of 'Collective Security', failed to deter German and Italian aggression in the 1920s and 30s. Italy invaded Abyssinia; Germany marched into the Rhineland, and later annexed Austria. British Prime Minister Chamberlain's policy of Appeasement failed, and Czechoslovakia eventually was seized by Germany. After Hitler invaded Poland, war was declared. Quickly the Germans overran Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and finally France. Hitler's plan to to invade England was thwarted during the Battle of Britain. Children in both Germany and Britain were evacuated from the cities, and the civilian population had to contend with the horror of bombing raids. Hitler turned his attention to Russia, launching Operation Barbarossa. At the same time, the Italians and Germans faced British forces in North Africa. The United States entered the war following the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the German advance into Russia ground to a halt just outside Moscow.

An intimate observational film from the frontline of the Kherson counter-offensive in Ukraine, directed by award-winning Olly Lambert. The southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv is a city under siege. Standing in the way of Russia’s advance along Ukraine’s southern coast, it now acts as the key defence of Europe’s border, with Russian positions in occupied Kherson just 40 km away. For two months, BAFTA-winning director Olly Lambert lived in Mykolaiv and secured unprecedented access to a special forces unit on the Kherson frontline. This revealing and intimate observational film takes a deep dive into the trenches and outposts of the Ukrainian military, just as it gears up for the long-awaited counter offensive.
