What happens
Russians at War is a 2024 documentary film, directed by Anastasia Trofimova. The film focuses on the perspective of Russian soldiers invading Ukraine during the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. The documentary had its world premiere for the film industry on September 4, 2024, and for the public on September 5, 2024 at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. The North American premiere for the film industry was on September 10, 2024 at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was criticized as Russian propaganda by Ukraine and Ukrainian organizations, while the Toronto festival organizers defended the film as being "anti-war". The North American public premiere was planned for September 12. However, the premiere was postponed to September 17, with TIFF citing "significant threats" as reasons for the postponement. Toronto police were reported to be "not aware of any active threats". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
