It premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. It sparked backlash from regional experts, as well as Canadian politicians, the Ukrainian-Canadian community, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Embassy of Ukraine in Canada, and Ukrainian and international filmmakers.[3][4][5][6] Trofimova admitted to entering Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories without Ukraine's permission while making the film, while embedded with Russian soldiers invading the country. She has been accused of whitewashing their war crimes.
