Reveals the historical premises of the ongoing Ukrainian crisis, its current political backstage and its dangerous potential for the world. The speakers of the highest rank, president of Russia Vladimir Putin, ex-president of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych, interviewed by the filmmaker Oliver Stone share their thoughts about the reasons of the conflict and ways to solve it. Ukraine. Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west--Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014's Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? "Ukraine on Fire" by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which led to the Orange Revolution, 2004 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people's revolution, it was in fact a coup d'état scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGO's and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America's geopolitical agenda abroad. Executive producer Oliver Stone gains unprecedented access to the inside story through his on-camera interviews with former president Viktor Yanukovych and Minister of Internal Affairs, Vitaliy Zakharchenko, who explain how the U.S. Ambassador and factions in Washington actively plotting regime change. And, in his first meeting with Russian Vladimir Putin, Stone solicits Putin's take on significance of Crimea, NATO and the U.S.'s history of interference in elections and regime change in the region. -- from the back of the DVD case.
