How Did Your February 24 Begin?

About This Movie

How Did Your February 24 Begin? captures a raw and intimate look at the lives of Ukrainians as their world shifts dramatically post-invasion. It’s a documentary that feels less like a polished narrative and more like a collection of urgent, heartfelt testimonies. The pacing is deliberately unhurried, allowing the viewer to sit with the weight of each personal story—former bankers turned soldiers, artists becoming volunteers. There's an authenticity in the footage, as the film immerses you in their reality, often with minimal intervention. The themes of resilience and humanity shine through, and while the director remains unknown, the voices and experiences shared are vivid and haunting, making it a distinctive entry in the war documentary genre.
