"Just Below the Sky" is a powerful documentary about the defenders of the Donetsk Airport, known as the "cyborgs." The film delves into the events of 2014, which have been insufficiently covered due to the airport's isolation and near-complete encirclement by enemy forces.Featuring archival footage of the battles for the Donetsk Airport and interviews with witnesses, the film tells four compelling stories of the cyborgs - brave defenders who faced unimaginable horrors to ensure a Free and Independent Ukraine . The film also includes heartfelt recollections from surviving cyborgs and family members about their fallen comrades, capturing their last conversations, prayers, and wishes.
