The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia’s campaign of extermination in Ukraine, the Ukrainian people’s spirit to resist and prevail, and the world’s response. Blending rare archival footage with original material, it is a work of art-both informative and emotional-tracing the aftermath of murder, mass rape, child abductions, and a systematic effort to erase Ukrainian identity. It cinematically reveals Russia’s national project to erase all things Ukrainian, and the determined fight by Ukrainians and their allies to resist and prevail. It’s the fight of free people to stay alive and stay free.
