Discussants: Juri Rechinsky (Director) & Pierre Crom (Co-Director and photographer featured in the film) 

After years of work in the Dutch Parliament, photographer Pierre Crom decides that "it might be more interesting to follow the results of their political decisions rather than make propaganda for politicians." In February 2014, he traveled with a one-way plane ticket to Crimea in Ukraine, one day before its annexation by Russia. From that moment on, he found himself in the midst of a rapidly escalating conflict and decided to stay. The start of the war in Sloviansk, the crash of flight MH17, tank battles in Debaltseve – he gained access to the most significant historical milestones of this war. As a photographer, Pierre had "luck." However, as a human being, he had to face violent events on a scale he could never have imagined before. In French, English, Russian and Ukrainian with English subtitles, 85 minutes.
