Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh (not Oleg) Sentsov is back to doing what he loves after an incredibly challenging and near-fatal period that saw him incarcerated for a number of years by Russian authorities on charges that were widely condemned by human rights orgs.
Sentsov’s plight captured the hearts and minds of the international film community. He was arrested in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea, and sentenced to 20 years for “terrorism acts” in 2015.
Amnesty International described the charges as “fabricated”.
