Intercepted / a film by Oksana Karpovych

Synopsis: Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war in a dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion and the day-to-day life of the Ukrainian people who resist and rebuild, the voices of the Russian soldiers—ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment—expose the whole scope of the dehumanizing power of war and imperialist nature of the Russian aggression.

2024 / 93 minutes / Documentary / Canada, France, Ukraine / Color / In Russian and Ukrainian with English subtitles
