Director Anastasia Trofimova says she still doesn't understand the political reasons for the Russia -Ukraine war.

Russian-Canadian filmmaker was embedded with a Russian army battalion in Eastern Ukraine .

Her documentary Russians at War stirred controversy in Venice with its first -person portrayal of ordinary Russian soldiers over seven months in Ukraine .

The film's North American premiere was postponed in Toronto over security threats and political heat.

Controversy around the film first emerged at the Venice Film Festival .

On Sept. 10 , around 400 Ukrainian Torontonians gathered outside TIFF Lightbox to protest a press and industry screening of the film.

That political heat, and “significant threats to festival operations and public safety,” helped prompt the cancellation of an official North American premiere for Trofimova ’s film.
