Babitsky's War

About This Movie

The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the brutal reality of war. Paul Yule's pacing is relentless, keeping you engaged while showcasing the stark contrasts of human resilience and despair. There's a raw, almost unrefined quality to the footage, which adds to the authenticity. Notably, the practical aspects of the film, like sound design and on-the-ground interviews, create a visceral experience that really hits hard. It’s a stark portrait of conflict, one that doesn’t shy away from the hard truths of journalism and war.
