Killarney-based Ukrainians are inviting the public to the premiere screening of the Ukrainian documentary film 'Life to the Limit'.

The premiere will be held at The Great Southern Killarney on February 22 at 6pm to mark the anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Entry is free and donations are welcome.

The documentary is the first film that shows the struggle of the Ukrainian people from the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 to today.

For this work, the authors reviewed more than 600 archive hours of the chronicle to create the most emotional story of what they have experienced since 2014 so that the whole world will understand them.

The authors of the film are Ukrainian veterans, director Pavlo Peleshok and producer Yurko Ivanyshyn. Their previous film 'Winter on Fire' was nominated for an Oscar in 2016 for Best Documentary Feature.

Over the past year, many Ukrainians have died defending their land, many have survived captivity and torture, many have lost their relatives and homes.

More than eight million Ukrainians have tried to save their lives and the lives of their children by becoming refugees. Some of these Ukrainians made it to Killarney and received shelter and support from the local community.

“As a new part of the local community, we want to provide more information about what is happening in Ukraine and explain why we are here. Together with the whole world, we want to draw attention, on the date of the anniversary, to the beginning of the full-scale aggression against Ukraine,” local representatives of Association Ukrainians in the Republic of Ireland (AURI C.L.G), and organisers say.

The film screening takes place within the framework of the international initiative of the World Congress of Ukrainians and AURI C.L.G.

"Many thanks to the Great Southern Killarney for their continued support of Ukrainian cultural initiatives."
