"Winter on Fire" - powerful Orange Revolution documentary

I consider myself fairly well informed on the events in Kiev, Maidan, that lead to the resignation of Putin's lapdog Yanukovich, and yet the film shocked me.

They do very good job of following the events from the very start to the triumphant finish, the escalation, the mayhem, the sufferings and the determination. At some point something clicks in people's heads, so they leave their comfortable apartments, and spend weeks on barricades, in bitter cold, viciously beaten by the security forces and shot by the snipers.

We are not talking about some minor unrest - those were real street fights, that left up to 200 people killed and 4000 wounded.

The film is full of poignant images of bravery and cruelty, and it is unforgettable.
