Screenings of the feature film "Bucha" by director Stanislav Tiunov are planned in Canada.
According to a post by the Ukrainian Embassy in Canada on Facebook, the war drama "Bucha" will premiere in Canadian cinemas on December 1.
"Bucha is a story of courage, humanity, and indomitable spirit, told through the lens of real events. It is a tale of tragedy and resilience, showcasing how people can remain a beacon of light even in the darkest times," the Embassy stated.
The screening schedule includes:
- December 1: Toronto

Bucha tells the true story of volunteer Kostiantyn Gudauskas, a Kazakh citizen who has lived in Ukraine since 2021. His Kazakh passport enabled him to navigate Russian checkpoints and evacuate civilians. During Russia's occupation of Kyiv Region in spring 2022, he saved 203 civilians, including the family of Ukrainian composer Ihor Poklad.
The film was created without state funding, relying instead on donations and private contributions from individuals in Ukraine, Poland, Canada, and the United States.
