D: Mark Jonathan Harris, Oles Sanin | USA/Ukraine | 98 min | Ukrainian with English Subtitles | WORLD PREMIERE
Just days after the 2014 Maidan Revolution in Ukraine that led to the toppling of the country’s leader, President Viktor Yanukovych, the country was invaded by Russia. Ukrainians of all backgrounds rallied to the country’s defense, in the process creating a new sense of Ukrainian nationhood and national identity. Breaking Point depicts these turbulent events, at times heroic, at times tragic, through the eyes of people who lived them – a doctor, a soldier, a children’s theater director, a rabbi, and an investigative reporter.
Filmmaker as well as producer Peter Borisow in attendance
