Director Oleg Sentsov, 47, is behind critically acclaimed films such as “Gamer,” “Nomery” and “Rhino,” the latest of which was released two years ago. But the journey has not been easy for the Crimea-born filmmaker, who spent more than five years in a Russian prison after protesting Russia’s occupation of Crimea on the Ukrainian peninsula, and now works as a special agent in the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Part of the troops was stationed in the Zaporozhye region. There, he suffered shrapnel wounds to his face, which fortunately seemed to be relatively well for him and the rest of his team. On his Facebook page, he often writes about life at war with Russia, explaining: “Three people were wounded, most with broken bones. Have been pulled from my face, little things on my hands and feet will remain forever I’m around. The others are fine too – Dr. Zaporozhye knows their stuff, thanks! He also shared a description of his motivation a few weeks ago, explaining that his wife and children were at the hospital after initially leaving Guo: “I’m proud of the woman I love. Although we are often apart now, our bond will only grow stronger. I’m glad Veronica and Demian went back to Ukraine despite some risks. Having a home where your family is waiting for you gives another level of drive up front. You know exactly who you are risking your life for, you know exactly who you have to survive for. Thanks, Deadline.
