Slava Ukraini is a reminder that on the ground, Ukrainians are in this to defeat their invaders. Go to Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 05/04/2023
Lévy’s effort demands respect. Public intellectuals in the United States seldom travel through war zones with a camera running. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff D 05/21/2023 I saw "Slava Ukraini" yesterday, the documentary from Jewish-French intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy, who travels to different parts of Ukraine in the second half of 2022. A few of the scenes that stuck with me: 1) Levy in a trench with Ukrainian soldiers as he reflects in narration"on this archaic habit of men burying themselves so not to die." 2) Levy visits a Breslov synagogue in Uman that sheltered outsiders, an act that he says serves as "a magnificent rebuttal to Putin's propaganda about the inexpiable war between Ukraine and its Jews." 3) Many powerful scenes of Levy interviewing Ukrainians from liberated regions, and especially the visual of survivors in liberated Kherson gathering around generators to charge their phones, preparing to call people who may have been killed. The movie ended with a powerful message that we must fully support Ukraine and not let the West push them to acquiesce ceding any of their territory to Russia. I highly recommended seeing this film.
