A student protest in Kiev transforms into a revolution. It all takes place in the central square, where the number of protesters grow and they refuse to leave until the President of the country resigns. The Ukrainian government's decision to cozy up to Putin and Russia instead of the European union sparks the initial protest. The government sends in riot police, aided by paid thugs who don't hesitate to resort to violence. Soon, rubber bullets become real bullets. Absolutely harrowing account of a street-level revolution as it happens.
