Production

The screenplay was written by journalist and author Mykhailo Brynykh, who spent more than two years developing it from press materials and first-hand accounts of veterans who took part in the liberation operation at Ilovaisk. Principal photography took place in 2018 outside Kyiv.

The film's lead actor, Taras Kostanchuk, plays himself — he is the real Donbas Battalion commander nicknamed "Bishut" who led the assault group during the actual events depicted in the film. Hundreds of other veterans of the Donbas Battalion and the Armed Forces of Ukraine participated as actors and extras.

The character of "Franco" is based on real-life Ukrainian-American volunteer Marko Paslawsky, who was killed in the battle. On 14 May 2019 the first trailer was released. The film had its wide Ukrainian theatrical release on 29 August 2019 — the fifth anniversary of the Ilovaisk encirclement. On 4 February 2020 the film was made freely available on a VOD platform.
