Weapons of Independence (2026)
Зброя незалежності
Director: Kornii Hrytsiuk
This documentary traces the remarkable transformation of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex—from its post-Soviet decline to its role as a crucial factor in the nation’s survival during the full-scale war. Built around personal stories from soldiers, engineers, inventors, and volunteers, the film shows how a country that lost much of its defense capability after the collapse of the USSR was forced to rebuild its army almost from scratch and develop modern weapons while combat operations were already underway.
