On November 16th, please join the Ukrainian Student Association for a screening and discussion of Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. This film documents the political and social unrest in Ukraine during 2013 and 2014. Euromaidan had started with student demonstrations supporting European integration and ended up growing into a violent revolution that led to the resignation of President Viktor. F. Yanukovich. New York Times journalist says, “Winter on Fire captures the idealism and bravery of the Ukrainians who gathered in Maidan Square to protest Mr. Yanukovych’s turn away from the European Union and toward a closer relationship with Russia” (A.O Scott, 2015).
The film will be shown in the Konover Auditorium at the UConn Dodd Center from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on November 16th. All are welcome!
