Signs of War

We were blind. The war which is raging in Ukraine now began nine years ago. French reporter Pierre Crom documented that period and today, using words and images, he talks about his experiences from the front and Ukrainian streets as well as the forebodings, sometimes surreal, that harbingered a full-scale invasion back then. Spiral dramaturgy and the hypnotic rhythm of the story turn the film into more than just a show of talking heads confronted with horrifying photographs and raw footage. It is also a personal testimony of someone who feels responsible for the image of the war as shown by the media.
