Samurai Way

Documentary biographical drama about the life and career of the first Ukrainian pop star - Nazarii Yaremchuk.

This movie celebrates the human spirit. Ukrainian children's resilience, strength, and ability to overcome tragedies and losses make each story a great inspiration for everyone. They had the strength to overcome the darkest moments that today's war brought upon them and win this war with dignity. These little heroes can, through their stories, inspire others.

Maria Shtepa, a UPA veteran from Chortkiv, began her journey as a young liaison for the UPA, carrying out missions until betrayal led to her capture by the NKVD. She endured severe torture and a 10-year prison sentence, during which she documented the stories of her comrades and fellow prisoners. After her release, she returned to her hometown and now resides in the former NKVD prison building, which is now a Caritas shelter. Despite the haunting memories, Maria’s spirit remains unbroken, and she has become a writer dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of those who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine’s freedom.
