Product Description:
Regime-controlled media claimed victory for Viktor Yanukovych, handpicked by the corrupt sitting president. But credible exit polls showed Viktor Yushchenko, the opposition candidate, had won. It was shocking enough that Yushchenko had been poisoned -- and nearly killed-- while on the campaign trail. When reports came in of blatant voter intimidation and damaged ballots, people were outraged. When they realized election officials were in on the fraud, the people had had enough. In freezing temperatures, over one million citizens poured into the streets of Kyiv and took up residence there. They marched in protest and formed human barricades around government buildings, paralyzing all state functions. Restaurants donated food, businessmen sent tents, and individuals brought blankets, clothing, and money. At night, rock bands energized the protesters. For 17 days, a group of ordinary citizens engaged in extraordinary acts of political protest. Capturing the songs and spirit of this moment in history, Orange Revolution tells the story of a people united, not by one leader or one party, but by one idea: to defend their vote.

I don't think the filmmakers were necessarily trying to detail the dirty progression of the election, blow by blow. Their intention, and well-conveyed I would say, is to tell us the amazing story of how a ... Read More

This is the story of how the power of people, once mobilized, can achieve the impossible. Although about Ukraine in particular, it is a universal theme - and seems particularly appropriate as we enter into an election year here in the US and face the possibility of voting irregularities. The footage of the people on the streets, living in tents, sleeping on escalators, sharing food and warm clothing is amazing. Also especially interesting was the transformation of Yuschenko's face after the poisoning. ... Read More

Not so much "Frontline" calibre as third-rate Michael Moore, "Orange Revolution" presents an entirely one-sided and consequently dull look at its titular subject matter. Filmmakers employ Propaganda 101 techniques, including showing cute girls supporting the Orange side before cutting away to exclusively loathsome alcoholic toads supporting Yanukovich. Evidence for the Orange party's accusations of election rigging, which should have been easy to come by (read Andrew Wilson's "Ukraine's Orange Revolution" ... Read More
