“We want the audience to be able to feel the spirit of the times by watching our films.
Films that will become history and remain on film for our children and grandchildren,” said Ekaterina Yakovleva, head of RT documentary broadcasting and general producer of the festival.
The films are united by a common idea - “This is the time of Heroes.
This is our time."
Among the presented works are pictures about the beginning of the battles for Mariupol and trips to the front of Russian poets and musicians in support of soldiers, films that tell about the life of war correspondents and doctors of medical teams in the Donbass under daily shelling.
