UKRAINE UNDER FIRE is a film about Ukrainian resilience during a time of war. The story follows journalist, Olga Butko, a Ukrainian news presenter for RADA television and weaves in Jordan Campbell's experience as an American journalist covering the conflict. Together they amplify voices of Ukrainians, chronicling aspects of resistance, war crimes and acts of genocide. More broadly, the film speaks to Ukraine’s quest for freedom, democracy and European integration.
