Although the war in Ukraine continues to dominate all the headlines, many have forgotten that a war had already been raging in Donbas for the past eight years. UKRAINE: THE ROAD TO WAR traces that geopolitical history of the Ukrainian conflict from 2014 onward, uncovering its roots in history. Mingling geopolitical and intimate narratives, this documentary brings to new light the origins of this war at Europe's gates. With access to top officials participating in negotiations, UKRAINE: THE ROAD TO WAR shows what is at stake as well as Europe's weaknesses towards Russia and the return of Cold War dynamics. Looking at the history of the conflict via archival footage along with key participants, the origins of the war are discussed, ...going back as far as the fall of the USSR. The film also tells the story of the civilians in Donbas. Particularly those who live near the frontline and who are caught in the middle. For them, war is an enmeshed everyday reality.
