Ukrainian film 'Bucha' seeks distribution deal on streaming platforms

The producers of "Bucha" are seeking a major streaming deal for the first feature film made in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion of russia.

Here's What We Know

Ukrainian narrative film "Bucha" is actively seeking distribution on streaming platforms. The work, based on true events, tells the story of events in Ukraine at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of the country.

The film tells the heroic story of Konstantin Gudauskas, a Kazakh citizen who risked his life to save hundreds of Ukrainians trapped in the city of Bucha and nearby towns near Kyiv after Russia began bombing and ground invasion of Ukraine.

Russian forces occupied Bucha in March 2022, committing crimes against humanity against Ukrainian civilians. Ukrainian forces forced the Russians to withdraw from the city in April of the same year.

The producers and directors are actively working on a deal with popular streaming platforms like Netflix or Apple to give audiences around the world a chance to see this important work. Hopefully, "Bucha" will find its audience and help bring attention to Ukraine's history during the war.
