Its a new documentary by Paul Moreira. I have not heard of him yet but apparently he is very succesful investigative journalist who made some excelent documentaries.

My French is pretty weak but please share your opinions if you can.

Meanwhile the best possible recommendation has been given through the official Ukrainian channels:

Ukrainian authorities say that Moreira’s Masks of Revolution is “deception” and not an example of “media pluralism,” as it provides a “misrepresented view on the situation in Ukraine.”

"The version of events in the Ukraine offered in the film is pleasing to the ears of conspiracy theories’ supporters and of pro-Russian propagandists. This pamphlet is a documentary made in the worst tradition of misinformation,” the statement adds.

AND Moreiras comment:

The filmmaker, Paul Moreira, has responded to the accusations, saying his film was “contrary to the commonly accepted narrative” but the reaction still shocked him.

“I knew I was going to meet a strong opposition, would be accused of playing into the hands of Putin, of using elements of propaganda. I didn’t expect to meet such denial, bordering on hysteria… I was called a ‘terrorist’ in the pay of the Russian secret services. [They are] urging that the film be banned.

“Even the Ukrainian ambassador pressured Canal Plus. That is what surprises me the most. For it seems to me that Ukraine must urgently raise the question of these paramilitary groups. They are, as stated in the film, the greatest threat to Ukrainian democracy.”

radical neo-nazi forces

Oh ok buddy

What is it with Russian nationalists and Russian sympathizers and constantly re-fighting WW2? It's like Russia has accomplished absolutely nothing of significant note in the past 71 years and that's their only point of reference for national stardom.

"Someone opposes our new imperialism? MUST BE THE DAMN NAZIS AGAIN! Them and their wily ways!"
