DON'T ASK ME IF I KILLED

synopsis

When the Russian invasion shatters her world, Ukrainian filmmaker Helena Maksyom lays down her camera only to pick up a rifle — and then takes up both. Across a thousand days at war, she films the moral unravelling of ordinary people forced to kill, and the fragile fight to keep a soul intact when violence becomes a part of daily life.
