Crossing Oxus

Directed by Svitlana Lishchynska

Whilst doing research on the Soviet-Afghan War, documentary filmmaker Maryna meets Vyacheslav, an ex-soldier with a unique archive of footage, notes, personal journals and photographs taken by now deceased members of his batallion during the conflict, causing them both to learn about confronting the past and overcoming the horrors of war in the wake of a new Russian agression now threatening Ukraine.
