The Donetsk Airport - was rebuilt in 2012, but is now a scene of utter devastation, shortly after Russian-backed separatists have taken it over. Weaving together the voices of fighters on both sides, we tell an unvarnished story of war through the eyes of those who were there. As commanders trace the contours of the desperate fight for an airport whose capture seems more symbolic than strategic, they also show how human nature can adapt − in sometimes disturbing ways − when one‘s life is on the line. The battle for Donetsk Airport (May 2014 - January 2015) is shown through the warriors‘ eyes on both sides. We focus on the humans behind the battle. Ethically and aesthetically the film takes the position of a human on war rather than any propaganda views of opposed sides.
