Interesting facts

Bucha is a Ukrainian feature docudrama directed by Stanislav Tiunov about a volunteer who evacuates people from Bucha during the mass killing of local residents organized by the Russian army, the Bucha massacre. The film is based on the real biography of volunteer Konstantin Gudaúskas. The film’s release was the 7th of November 2024.

Production

When developing the script, the filmmakers relied on Gudaúskas’s accounts and consultations with the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. According to the BBC, most of the storylines presented in the film “in one way or another correspond to what happened in the occupied Kyiv region”. To record the dialogue between Russian soldiers, published recordings of intercepted communications were used.

In addition to the feature film, the crew is also working on a documentary film with eyewitness testimonies that were recorded during the making of the feature.

Filming is financed with private funds, in particular from American investor Semyon Dukach.
