Kyiv, November 20, 2015. \u2018<\/strong><\/em>Winter on Fire\u2019 is a monument to those who were on Maidan, especially those who gave their lives to stand up against the worst the Yanukovych regime could do, said the film director Yevhen Afineevskyi while presenting the film at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. Afineevskyi believes \u2018Winter on Fire\u2019 is the first chapter of Ukrainians\u2019 fight for independence, and it is something unique the world had not seen before. He said the film had been watched by 69 million people all over the world. \u201cWe plan to cover the entire world by the end of the year. Maidan is a unique story of men and women who stood up and triumphed,\u201d said the director.<\/p>\n

When we had a film concept ready \u2013 Maidan chronicles, chronicles through the eyes of people who were at Maidan, we decided there would be no politicians, said Lina Klebanova, co-producer, SPN Production. \u201cThe Ukrainian people made Maidan, so it\u2019s not so much artistic expression or a journalist\u2019s approach. Instead this is the expression of civic Maidan [\u2026], that\u2019s why this movie is very sincere,\u201d believes the co-producer. Lina Klebanova admits it was psychologically difficult to shoot and assemble the video. The montage took five months and the team was working several shifts. They \u00a0processed one thousand five hundred hours of video and shot about one hundred interviews, while Maidan was still standing. They managed to record living testimony of people who participated in the Revolution of Dignity. \u201cThe main thing is we managed to preserve the \u2018spirit\u2019, and it worked so powerfully that no Russian or any other propaganda can say true Maidan never happened,\u201d said Klebanova.<\/p>\n

Halyna Sadomtseva, co-producer, SPN Production, said that the movie is aimed at the entire world. \u201cIt\u2019s not only our generation that will have this story. We got together and fought for our freedom, for our new independent country. The world knows this story, and it\u2019s wonderful. We managed to do it and I\u2019m proud of Ukrainians,\u201d said Sadomtseva.<\/p>\n

Film creators did not see each other until they started working at the film, says Yuriy Ivanyshyn, co-producer, Ukrstream-TV. Nevertheless, they were simultaneously doing one important thing \u2013 filming the events. Moreover, emphasized Ivanyshyn, we journalists showed marvelous selfless cooperation. There was not a single channel or journalist who would ask for money in exchange for videos they submitted. \u201cIt is another evidence of our awareness of what we were doing and why, and our main goal is to show it to as many people in the world as possible,\u201d emphasized the co-producer.<\/p>\n

\u2018Winter on Fire\u2019 is to become a \u2018reminder for next generations\u2019 that authorities are elected by people and people are the source of power, and all of it can change at any moment,\u201d says Artem Rykhalskyi, programmer and web-designer Ukrstream-TV. According to Rykhalskyi, this film will be a reminder for families of the Heavenly Hundred as well as all the people who contributed to the better future of Ukraine. Referring to this, Afineevskyi says that authorities who owe Maidan their rise to power, must remember that the people are the core of democracy and the authorities must serve their people.<\/p>\n

United States Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt supported this opinion. \u201cToo much has been sacrificed at Maidan and for 20 months of this war with the Russian aggressor to let the system go back to the past. Ukraine made this sacrifice to create a European future,\u201d the Ambassador commented. According to Pyatt, telling the world what happened at Maidan is the most difficult challenge. It is bigger than \u201cUkraine\u201d or \u201cEurope\u201d. It is the story of values, principles and future of democracy. \u201cAn American delegation headed by senator McCain came to Kyiv on the same day when the band \u2018Ocean Elzy\u2019 was playing on Maidan. The senator kept saying that it was the most powerful experience in his political career. Hundreds of thousand people coming together to say \u201cwe will not be defeated, we are going to seize control over our democracy, we are going to continue moving towards Europe,\u201d said Pyatt. He says these are the principles supported by the USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
