Synopsis

Emile Ghessen, former Royal Marines Commando, explores what motives volunteers to pick up arms in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict. The war started in 2014, when thousands of pro-European rioters forced the removal of the President. What followed was Russian annexing Crimea and armed pro-Russian separatists rising up in the Donbass region of Ukraine. Since the start of the conflict, hundreds of international volunteers have travelled to the region to take up arms on both sides. This documentary focuses on why these volunteers think they can make a difference in Emile's second documentary on volunteers fighting in someone else's war. An honest, raw documentary that gets to the grassroots of the conflict. Emile goes to the frontline of Ukraine in search of these volunteers to find out the truth of the Ukrainian war.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
