A Rising Fury follows two hopeful Ukrainian idealists from the peaceful protest in Kyiv in 2013 to the full-scale Russian invasion to Ukraine in 2022. Pavlo and Svitlana met and fell in love at the Maidan Revolution and were filmed over 8 years with several expeditions to the frontlines of the war. Pavlo loses his family home from the invasion and joins the Ukrainian military. Both find themselves on the battle lines, protecting their land, democracy, and their relationship.

"A Rising Fury" is more than a mere documentary. It's a testament to the endurance of the human spirit, a love story set against a backdrop of turmoil, and a powerful representation of a nation's fight for independence.

Rated: 4/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Ukraine fought back and continues to fight back through the pain. But, one wishes this documentary was put together in a way that doesn’t wander to get it all across.

Film Threat

Ruslan Batytskyi and Lesya Kalynska have made something intimate yet broad in scope, heartwarming but frustrating, educational and tense at the same time, funny as well as shocking. In every conceivable way, this is a perfect film.

Rated: 10/10

A Rising Fury is a necessary eye opener that puts us right in the eye o the storm to expose the cruelty of the Ukraine war and the bravery of all of those willing to endure it on a daily basis, hoping to stir things back to more peaceful times.

Rated: 8/10
