Bucha
Dir. Stanislav Tiunov
(Ukraine, 2024, 120 min)
Based on actual events in Bucha, Vorzel, (Kyiv region of Ukraine) during the Russian occupation in the first months of the war, February-March 2022. Konstantin Gudauskas, a Lithuanian Jew and a political activist takes it upon himself to fight against Russia's aggression in Ukraine, a country that became his home. Within the first few months of the war, Konstantin single-handedly saved 203 people. Bucha follows the Russian invasion and rescue of local residents by Konstantin Gudauskas.
