Olha ByrledianuSynopsis
Ukrainian director Olha Byrledianu's feature debut tackles an unforeseen consequence of Russia's invasion in Ukraine, namely the surge of homeless pets. The lack of support for formerly domesticated animals is rarely talked about in a human refugee crisis of this scale, but War Tails (2024) brings precisely this issue to our attention. Highlighting the growth and spread of rabies, the documentary has a humanitarian cause at its heart and is supported by the Ukraine War Animals Relief Fund.
