Weapons of Independence

About

The film tells the story of the transformation of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex, from post-Soviet decline to one of the key factors in the state’s survival during the full-scale war. The film is based on the personal stories of soldiers, engineers, inventors and volunteers. They explain how a country that had lost a significant part of its defense capability after the collapse of the USSR was forced to rebuild its army almost from scratch and create modern weapons already during combat operations.
