In only her 2nd documentary, A SNIPER’S WAR, Olya Schechter presents a chilling portrait of a Serbian sniper who volunteers his services to the separatist fighters of the Eastern region of the Ukraine, who have declared their independence from the government in the capital Kiev. These rebels (or freedom fighters, as they prefer to be known)
are fiercely pro-Russian, would like to be a part of the Russian Federation. They receive
Military assistance and advice from the Russian army, and welcome volunteers (who are unpaid) from various corners of the now dispersed countries of the one time Eastern block. KCSB's Harry Lawton spoke with Olya Schechter, about A Sniper's War.
