Poets on the frontline

The Ukrainian neo-Nazis’ rise to power and eight years of confrontation between two ideologies shaped a different, yet important front in Donbass – the region’s literary scene. Its members come from many different backgrounds and have different stories to tell about how they ended up in Donbass. But they are all united by a determination to support the right cause in the best way they can – through verse. See Donbass’ struggle for independence through the eyes of its poets and musicians, and learn their bittersweet, tragic, and deeply inspirational stories in this documentary.
