The documentary film about the war in Ukraine and the work of the Donetsk police near the front lines, produced by the German TV channel ZDF, has won two awards in the United States. During the NYF 2024 (New York Festivals TV & Film Awards), the film was honored in the "Docudrama" category. The winners of the television and film awards were announced in New York on April 16 during the virtual gala evening of Storytellers.

The film "White Angel - the End of Maryinka" tells the story of the destruction of the city of Maryinka by Russian forces and the heroic struggle of the police to save its residents. It is worth reminding that the "white angels," together with the authorities and volunteers, evacuated all civilians before the city was finally destroyed and occupied.
