Voices on War

Peaceful life in Europe came to an end on 24 February 2022, when Russia once again launched unprovoked aggression against Ukraine and invaded its territory. In the months that followed, the world experienced not only moments of shock and despair, but also moments of solidarity and unity in resistance to the aggression. The film Voices on War shows outstanding writers from all over the world speaking out about the situation in Ukraine. With strong political and personal statements, they condemn the aggression and express their support for the Ukrainian people. Among the contributors are Margaret Atwood, Karl Schlögel and many others.
