Very soon, the Cannes Film Festival 2022 will feature an ultra-important Ukrainian documentary called “Life to the limit”, which reveals to the world what Ukraine is, who Ukrainians are and why the war in Ukraine began not on February 24 but 8 years ago. "Apostrophe" talked to the creators of the movie, including director Pavlo Peleshko and producer Yurii Ivanyshyn, who with the wreckage of memories and their own video archive will demonstrate why it became possible for the Russian-Ukrainian war to take place in the twenty-first century. - How did the idea of your new movie come up? Y.I. It all started on the night when the students were first beaten (the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity, Maidan). I understood what was going on and decided to make sure that we could stream 24 hours a day everything that was happening at the Maidan. We placed our cameras on the highest spots from where one could stream: roofs, houses, hotels.
