The Intersection

This 90-minute investigative documentary digs into the targeted killings of civilians that symbolically took place on the intersection between Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel on only the second day of the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine, on 25 February.

The film director Taras Lazer shows the story of what happened just outside of his house: the entire chronology of the crime, the stories of the victims, and the investigation: the cars that were shot at, how many people were killed, how many survived, how the evidence was discovered, and which Russian soldiers were identified. All of this information is backed up by extensive CCTV and mobile phone footage taken before, during, and after the killings, as well as by multiple witness testimonies and police examinations on-site.
