The 10th RusDocFilmfest-3W presents "I Was Bitten by a Shark," a film exploring the convoluted life of a Russian fighting in Ukraine. Buy tickets here.
This documentary is about the most contradictory international conflict in contemporary Eastern Europe - the war-conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The main character of the documentary, Russian mercenary soldier, a so-called “volunteer,” tells his story of life and war. The filmmakers create a very incongruous psychological portrait of a modern Man of War.
