“THE KYIV INDEPENDENT – THE DOCUMENTARY”
90’ Feature Documentary
Director: Jeff Chagrin
Producers: Nick Stuart, Tom Whitter
The story of how a group of young Ukrainian journalists risked their careers and lives to stand up for independent journalism and bring the truth about the war in Ukraine to the English speaking world.
Nick Stuart Films has been given unique access to the online newspaper and its team of mainly young women journalists who broke the mold of oligarch-run Ukrainian media to form their own paper, changing the way media reports on war and getting the front cover of TIme Magazine after only a year in existence.
Following the papers’ War Crimes Investigative Unit and journalism staff, this film will follow the team as it struggles with funding, mental health pressures and the destruction of their cities as they find ways to bring the truth about the war to the world.
