Genre DocumentaryInvestigation

Director Oleksandr Stratonov

When Vitalii Vitruk's business was destroyed by the coronavirus, but he still had a family to feed, he decided to work abroad. Instead of the promised job, however, he found himself in despair in a forest somewhere in the Czech Republic. The man managed to return, and he decided to do everything possible to prevent those who deceived him from deceiving others.

Vitalii Khodorovskyi from Ivano-Frankivsk, one of hundreds of victims of one of the biggest scams involving Ukrainian migrant workers, fought against the other fraudsters. The journalists take it upon themselves to find out what happened. They manage to unravel the fraudulent tangle faster than the police.

“Work abroad. Poland, Czech Republic, Finland. Vacancies” — social media and classifieds sites are filled with such ads. However, it often turns out to be a scam.

How are Ukrainians being cheated? The investigative film Selling a Job (for a Price) is about those who successfully earn money by misleading migrant workers and the state's inability to prevent this.

Bars. Unfinished business

56 minutes - Ukraine 2023

Genre Documentary

Category Full-length documentary

Director Maria Yaremchuk

The film tells the story of the participant of the national liberation war against the Russian invaders, the People's Hero of Ukraine volunteer Valery Krasnian (call sign “Bars”), who started his war in Donetsk region in 2014 and ended it in Kharkiv region in 2023, forever inscribing his name in pantheon of new Ukrainian heroes. The viewer will see “Bars” from three different perspectives: how his relatives remember him, how he will remain in the memory of his compatriots and friends and comrades-in-arms. These perspectives provide an opportunity to understand the voluminous, multifaceted figure of Valery Krasnyan, to learn about his views and principles in life, to plunge into the contradictions of his nature, to admire his warrior spirit, and to pay full tribute to his feat. The stories about “Bars” create a unique collection of living stories, which, amazingly intertwined, paint the viewer a true portrait of the hero.

The authors of the film are convinced that harsh times pose tough questions not only to each of us individually, but also to the entire society. How did this war happen to us? Where did we go wrong? What historical lessons have not been learned? And what is considered to be the history at all? How do we get out of the sticky web of fiction and propaganda and touch the true path? Authors of the documentary “Bars. Unfinished business” suggests starting from today. After all, real history is not dates and milestones. These are not significant events and individual actors. History is people. Their lives, their destinies: pains and joys, accomplishments and mistakes, that is a real history.
