Documenting Russia Film Series: "Oleg's Choice"
Oleg’s Choice offers riveting embedded footage from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict in the Donbas. This is a rare immersion into the private lives of two Russian combatants, Oleg and Max, who have chosen to fight on the separatists’ side in Ukraine. Their commitment and motivations unravel as tough interviews force them to confront the harsh realities of war-gone-wrong and their roles in a deadly cause they no longer believe in. In Russian with English subtitles.
Director Elena Volochine was present at the screening and participated in Q&A session.
