Ukraine/ 2022-Directed By Pavlo Peleshok
The Detroit Film Theatre in partnership with the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) Detroit Regional Council and the Ukrainian-American Civic Committee of Metropolitan Detroit (UACC) will host a screening of the new documentary Life to the Limit, which tells the story of Ukrainian resistance against Russia's attempts to colonize and eradicate their country and society.
From the producers of Winter on Fire, an Academy Award-nominated film for Best Documentary, Life to the Limit is the first Ukrainian documentary to address the complete history of Russia's war on Ukraine from 2013 to 2022. Director Pavlo Peleshok and producer Yurko Ivanyshyn trace the formation and evolution of Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression, beginning during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 and leading to the full-scale war on Ukraine in 2022.
Now, both war veterans, Peleshok and Ivanyshyn joined the Ukrainian resistance at the time of Russia’s illegal and unrecognized annexation of Crimea and the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014. They defended Ukrainian soil and freedom, while simultaneously documenting the causes and consequences of the war by assembling a mosaic from more than 640 hours of archival materials.
Director Pavlo Peleshok will be present to introduce the screening.
