Ukrainian-American filmmaker Damian Kolody documented the violent insurrection from the streets, chronicling the extreme chaos engulfing Ukraine in a remarkable and intense narrative. With meticulous journalistic rigour; never before seen archival footage and candid interviews, ‘Freedom Or Death’ exposes the shocking truths behind this definitive moment in European history and provides background and context to the current Russian invasion of Ukraine.
