The Donbass Children

Lubomir Dankov

Bulgaria / 2019 / 1:00:00

This is a movie about the Donbas war, first-person stories. You will hear the stories of so-called "ordinary people". These people suffered from irrational from a military point of view strikes on civilian targets. They are victims of someone's desire to wage war on their territory at all costs. There are no author's comments in this movie and no censoring of the thoughts of the local people. This film was made especially for spectators in Europe, who do not know what is happening in Eastern Ukraine. The purpose of the film is to arouse interest in the ongoing six-year armed conflict and to make people to start to think about the responsibility of each of us for peace in Europe.

Lubomir Dankov

Biography:

he director is a Bulgarian amateur photographer. He has been developing an information project on the Donbass war since 2016. The Donbass children is his first film.

Statement:

When I first went to Donbass as an amateur journalist, I felt myself ashamed. Shame on the "fellow" journalists, who deliberately avoid the topic of Donbass, shame on the whole "democratic community" that has buried its head in the sand. It is hard to believe that deliberate war crimes have been committed daily in the geographical centre of Europe six years already, but it’s a fact. The worst thing is that all this can be quickly and easily stopped, but maintaining an armed conflict in the area is, for some people, a win-win business. Darkness gives power to evil. Keep yourself informed. It is up to you much more than you think.
