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.
