DIY Country Trailer (2016)

Trailer for DIY Country.

A popular pro-Russian rebellion spread across Southeastern Ukraine after the Russian annexation of Crimea, leaving a wave of violence in its wake. Sowing the seeds of chaos amidst a bitter power struggle, rebels declared new autonomous regions in the country. But behind macho posturing are idealists, opportunists and workaday soldiers behaving more like they're playing war than waging it. With unparalleled access behind the scenes and from the front lines, we delve into the world of small time actors on a national stage, each striving to seize an opportunity in their new "DIY country." This explosive on-the-ground look at one of the deadliest wars in modern European history—with over 7,000 dead and 2 million displaced—offers a whole new vantage point from which to understand a conflict clouded with misinformation.
