Shocking Footage: Ukrainian Director Exposes Reality of War in New Film

In a groundbreaking new film by Ukrainian director Oleh Sentsov, viewers are given an unfiltered look at the brutal reality of war. Real, a 90-minute documentary capturing frontline action, was discovered by Sentsov months after the battle when he stumbled upon footage that was accidentally recorded. The film showcases soldiers in a trench struggling to evacuate wounded fighters from a perilous frontline position. Sentsov, who was once imprisoned in Russia and is now serving in the Ukrainian army, described the footage as an authentic portrayal of war – ‘ugly, incomprehensible, twisted, and stupid’. Despite admitting that the footage was not originally intended as a film, Sentsov believes it serves as a powerful document of the harsh realities of conflict. Don’t miss the premiere of Real at the upcoming Karlovy Vary film festival in the Czech Republic, where audiences will witness the unedited chaos and danger faced by those on the frontlines. Experience the fear, the tension, and the moments of bravery captured in Real, a film that gives a voice to those who risk everything for freedom and peace.
