I watched the documentary with this name on Netflix yesterday, it has a lot of live footage of the protests that eventually unseated Yanukovych in 2013. I had no idea that something so violent and actually partly like bits of the French Revolution had taken place with barricades and street battles. Protesters were savagely beaten and shot and the medical centre set up by the Red Cross got burnt down with patients in it.
After watching it the organisation and willingness to fight of the Ukraine resistance makes sense, they had done it before. Also it's no wonder Putin hates Ukraine because they have a model of getting rid of an autocrat. I know there are two sides to every story but the film is very much worth watching and you don't really need a narrative, what you see is plain enough
