Directed by Roman Bondarchuk
www.UkrainianSheriffs.com
A real-life, feature-length documentary about Viktor and Volodya, democratically chosen sheriffs who try to keep the peace in their East-Ukrainian village near Crimea. Every day they do their utmost to settle neighborly disputes over lost ducks, stuck strollers, and other tragedies of daily life with compassion and a healthy sense of humor.
On the eve of the country’s 70th anniversary of WWII’s victory, the village starts to feel the rumblings of the Russian invasion of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Men are being drafted into the Ukrainian Army to defend their country.
Viktor and Volodya find themselves dealing with the rising tension of the impending invasion.
