Days after Russia launched its war on Ukraine, Polish filmmaker Maciek Hamela left his home in Warsaw, bought a van, and began transporting evacuees to safety.
Hamela’s documentary, “In the Rearview,” chronicles six months of journeys and hours of footage, giving a raw and intimate picture of the war in real time.
“I hope that this film will remind those who might think that the war is over or that it has become a never-ending stalemate ... to reconsider,” he told Reuters. The documentary is shot almost entirely in the van, showing excerpts of passenger conversations and views of the scenery. Children break the tension in the car, acting typically restless and badgering one another. However, their astuteness is unsettling. In one instance, a little girl looks out the window as they pass intact apartments and says, “such beautiful buildings, not bombed at all.”
