This sounds appropriate. Sometimes the best way to tell a complex political story is through the lens of the camera. Look what it did for Snowden's case.

I hope the story stays very factual, especially if it's meant to be a bit of a response to Russia's aggression.

Oscar-winner set to make film about Crimea

The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, has announced that the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture is in talks with a foreign Oscar-winning director concerning the production of a film about Crimea.

In an announcement on the website of the Ukrainian government press-service, the Prime Minister stated that the government had begun negotiations with a “world famous, three-time Oscar-winning director”, but did not specify a name.

He did, however, stress that the film should serve as a response to the Russian documentary Crimea: the Road to the Motherland, a film that was condemned by western leaders when it was released in March this year.

According to Yatsenyuk, the Ukrainian film, which has the working title Crimea: Crime and Punishment, will portray “the truth about what happened in Crimea”. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called the plans a “propaganda move”.

The film is expected to be released by the end of this year.
