"The Occupant" - a film made from the videos found on the phone of a russian POW. This comment best describes it:

"Brilliant portrait of a Russian soldier. The scene of the bike he gifts to his daughter being mirrored when we see a scene with another child's bike at 13:51 being carried by distraught fleeing Ukrainian refugees is beyond poetic, and serves as a powerful metaphor for the innocence lost in this young man.
There are a lot of powerful parallel scenes like this throughout, him being driven around in a luxury car while partying with friends contrasted with the scenes of him being driven around in a tank/APC and stumbling on a destroyed convoy.
Whoever edited this documentary together from just cellphone footage is a very perceptive talented artist showing very much with very little. Posing very important questions about sympathy, guilt, complicity and the human condition/experience in general."

Another powerful scene is when the occupant talks to a Chechenyan grandpa. The grandpa says "leave us alone". He represents so many non-russian russians. The Ukrainian children on the occupied territories are about to enter the meat-grinder in Ukraine as russian occupants. Read more the story of Chechnya on wiki. It is just one of many

rus. with eng subtitles.

Please share this with as many people as possible!
Especially those who believe in BS like "it's all because of NATO" or "the politicians can't divide something and the population suffers"
