Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This documentary focuses on real-life events and participants from the Ukrainian Euromaidan movement, without obvious emphasis on identity politics, forced representation, or shoehorned characters. Narrative follows reality rather than ideological casting or character creation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on national identity, resistance, and the defense of freedom, emphasizing patriotism, family, and community. There’s little evidence that traditional values or institutions are undermined or disparaged. The documentary largely respects Ukrainian cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film shows clear support for the protest movement and criticism of the opposing government, it doesn't focus on identity or woke politics. That said, alternative perspectives (e.g., the pro-Russian side) receive limited, if any, nuanced exploration, so there’s some ideological uniformity.
