A Sniper’s War, a documentary that received its world premiere in Santa Barbara, chronicles the civil war in Ukraine from the perspective of a pro-Russian sniper consumed with hatred. It is unusual to film a documentary through the eyes of an unsympathetic protagonist, but director Olya Schechter managed to achieve unusual access to a tormented soldier. The resulting portrait won’t reach a large audience, but it should stir plenty of conversation wherever it shows. The film’s protagonist, Deki, is a Serb still bitter about NATO bombing of the region during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. Because of this hatred, he declares, “The United States is the most genocidal state in the world.” His passions led him to fight against NATO forces in Ukraine, serving some time in a POW camp there. Then he traveled to the pro-Russian state of Donetsk, in the eastern part of Ukraine, where he fights alongside Russian troops, killing Ukrainian soldiers when he can.
