It's cool that they're making a film about Vitali Klitschko! He is a true hero of our time who fights for the freedom of Ukraine. 💪 I wonder how the director will show his life and work as mayor of Kyiv during the war.
Анна
Yes, Mateo, I also believe that Klitschko is an example of courage and perseverance. I hope the film will show real footage from Kyiv during shelling and bombing. 😔 Let the whole world see what Ukraine is going through!

It was not for nothing that MacDonald received an Oscar for the documentary “One Day in September.” 🎥 Such directors know how to convey to the viewer the whole truth without embellishment. I'm looking forward to the film about Klitschko, it will be a strong work!
Ричард
Eh, politics is creeping into the movies again... 🙄 Why film about a war that should never have started? It would be better to film about his sports career, fights with his brother in the ring - that’s interesting!
София
Richard, you're just an old curmudgeon! 😡 War is the reality that Ukrainians are faced with. And it is important that the whole world knows about this. MacDonald's film will help draw attention to the tragedy of Ukraine.
Матвей
I agree, Sofia! 👍 Documentary is an opportunity to capture history. I remember watching Romm’s “Ordinary Fascism” as a child - after it you hate war even more. I hope the film about Klitschko will inspire people to help Ukraine.
Ричард
What are you up to about the war? 🤨 Nowadays, we need to enjoy life and not be burdened with problems. Macdonald could have filmed something positive and entertaining, not this darkness!
Анна
As Klitschko said: “Happiness is within ourselves.” 💫 But many in Ukraine lost their happiness because of the war. The film will help shed light on their suffering and inspire people to help. Well done MacDonald for bringing up this topic!
