Iron Butterflies

“A hidden gem from this year’s Sundance, this stylistically inventive documentary from Roman Liubyi unfolds like a thrilling investigation of the suspicious crash of the Malaysian Airlines plane MH17 which was flying over Ukraine in 2014. What do these butterfly-shaped shrapnels visible on the aircraft’s metallic carcass signify? Rarely have we seen the inner workings of Kremlin’s propaganda machine exposed this ingeniously, in what remains an unpunished war crime. A sadly topical film, in the context of the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.”
