Maidan
MAIDAN chronicles the civil uprising against the regime of president
Yanukovych that took place in Kiev (Ukraine) in the winter of 2013/14. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from
peaceful rallies, half a million strong, in the Maidan square, to the bloody street battles between protestors and riot police.
Maidan is a portrait of an awakening nation, rediscovering its identity.
