INTERCEPTED

INTERCEPTED – FINAL

Through the intimate, intercepted phone calls of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, this harrowing documentary exposes the brutal realities of war. Ukrainian intelligence captured thousands of these conversations, revealing the stark transformation of soldiers—from those filled with misguided heroic ideals to those grappling with disillusionment, propaganda, and the horror of war crimes. Set against haunting images of the destruction wrought by the Russian invasion and the resilience of the Ukrainian people, director Oksana Karpovych juxtaposes the dehumanizing power of imperialist aggression with the humanity lost in battle. The soldiers’ voices reflect a range of emotions, from bravado to despair, looting to murder, providing a chilling, unfiltered look at how war erodes empathy. A visually striking and psychologically intense film, Intercepted offers a sobering reflection on the inhumanity of conflict, making it an essential watch for those seeking to understand the dark truths of war.
