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.
