A Rising Fury follows two hopeful Ukrainian idealists from the peaceful protest in Kyiv in 2013 to the full-scale Russian invasion to Ukraine in 2022. Pavlo and Svitlana met and fell in love at the Maidan Revolution and were filmed over 8 years with several expeditions to the frontlines of the war. Pavlo loses his family home from the invasion and joins the Ukrainian military. Both find themselves on the battle lines, protecting their land, democracy, and their relationship.
Your contribution will help our impact campaign that will bring attention to the war in Ukraine. We plan to present our film to local community based organizations, universities and film festivals throughout the U.S and beyond. We are very grateful for your generosity.
