This documentary looks at people who were transformed by a democratic revolution and gave up their normal lives to fight a Russian invasion. 

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa, Maidan chronicles the civil uprising that toppled the government of Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovich and has since developed into an international crisis between Russia and the West.




With only a smattering of biographical details released to the public and his sometimes puzzling public appearances, scholars-and even many world leaders-still struggle to understand the man at the helm of the Kremlin. To glean a clearer picture, Frontline took a closer look at some of the most identifiable aspects of Putin’s public persona.

Award-winning journalist Manon Loizeau returned to the places she filmed while undercover in Chechnya. Behind the gleaming façade of the new Grozny, Loizeau discovered women and men more terrified than in all the years of war and occupation.
