The story of a sniper fighting on the side of the pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine.

Described as a ""stealth invasion"" of Ukraine, the proxy-war being waged in Donbass is a contentious conflict between pro-Russian separatists and the West. In the midst of swirling propaganda and controversy this brave doc follows Deki, a pro-Russian sniper tasked with defending his separatist comrades on the frontline of the conflict. In the midst of escalating international tensions, the film exposes an unseen side to this secretive war.

Война снайпера - документальный фильм про знаменитого снайпера Деяна Берича "Деки" из ДНР. Его сняла американка русского происхождения режиссер Ольга Шехтер. Её работа уже была отмечена наградами на международных кинофестивалях в США, вероятно, потому что фильм стал для американцев своеобразной "таблеткой правды".
