About The Reckoning

“Why don’t you start with when the war began for you?”

Based on real events within The Reckoning Project’s verified archive of witness testimonies of the Russian war in Ukraine. A journalist meets a man in a ruined village outside Kyiv. The Man from Stoyanka is a security guard, just an ordinary man. But when everyone else flees, he stays.

As his home turns into a no man’s land, he chooses to take extraordinary action.

And she’s there to record it – for the history books, the courts, for humanity.

It’s worth the applause
