      patrick f This documentary is relatively short, but packs a lot in. It's well edited with interviews and archival footage. It all amounts to a fast paced documentary that relies on the words of the people who were there to explain this time period rather than scholars or pundits. If you are interested in understanding the current war in Ukraine this film is a good primer for knowledge. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tim G What incredible bravery.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I was sobbing my heart out for the heroism and the will to die for what you believe in! An absolute must see for everyone, and i mean everyone. One of the best real life documentaries you will ever see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolute bravery and solidarity by Ukraine people who want freedom, heart breaking and devastating at the same time. Ukraine the brave. This is a must see and is utterly compelling in the light of Russia's recent Feb 22 Ukraine invasion. Putin's unending need for control and revenge at all costs is obvious and blatant for the world to see. My heart is with Ukraine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I had followed the Maidan protests when they happened, seeing footage from on the ground was awesome. Ukraine is one of the few places in the world where democracy is growing stronger, and this documentary shows how it all started.

      Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Packed with shocking footage and testimony... Essential viewing. Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Plays out like a harrowingly bloody, real-life "Les Miserables." Rated: 3/4 Feb 11, 2016 Full Review Tricia Olszewski TheWrap Being able to bear witness firsthand to this three-month struggle is an incredible privilege, albeit a heartbreaking one. Oct 14, 2015 Full Review Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) In spite of the asperity in some of the scenes, the primary focus lies in the motivations, illusions, and emotions of those who participated in the revolution. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Lynden Barber Limelight If you ever wondered what led Putin to mount an invasion, here is a crucial part of the story. May 2, 2022 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Movies with Mae Winter on Fire isn't a perfect documentary, but it is a perfect example of the power of the people can bring about change when they rally to overthrow a president who doesn't serve their best interests.
