Although the war in Ukraine continues to dominate all the headlines, many have forgotten that a war had already been raging in Donbas for eight years. We trace the geopolitical history of the Ukrainian conflict from 2014 onwards, uncovering its roots in history. Production began in May 2021, when the conflict was at a standstill and the international community was trying to solve it. From the beginning, we had access to top officials participating in these negotiations. Back then, we already wanted to show what was at stake in those negotiations, the weaknesses of Europe and the return of Cold War dynamics.
We look at the history of the conflict through archival footage from all over the world and testimonies from key participants in the past and current negotiations for a ceasefire. With them, we discussed the origins of the war, going back as far as the fall of the U.S.S.R.; the Minsk agreements; the “Normandie Format” meetings; and the years of stagnation followed by today’s full-blown invasion. Interviewing officials from all sides helps us to deliver a deep analysis of a complicated situation, and to tell these geopolitics in a lively, human, and nuanced way.
This documentary was produced by Talweg Productions and directed by Anne Poiret. It was first released in 2022.
