2015 was an undeniably great year for film. From the surprisingly jaw-dropping chaos of Mad Max, to the heart breaking beauty of Pixar’s Inside Out and the return of the almighty Star Wars franchise, film goers have been getting their money’s worth. But, every year there’s a handful of excellent movies that fall undeservedly under the radar. Here’s our pick of the best films you missed in 2015.
1. Winter On Fire: Ukraine’s Fight For Freedom
This one is on Netflix too and it’s truly essential viewing. Following the revolution that took place for 93 days in 2013 and 2014 from the frontline, the documentary focuses on Ukraine’s citizens as they fight for the resignation of a dictator. What began as a peaceful protest evolved into a violent revolution that exposed the ruthless nature of the Ukrainian government and the incredible resolve of it’s citizens.The intense strength of human spirit in the face of injustice is awe inspiring, and is handled with the delicate care that such an historic series of events deserves. If you’ve been infuriated by the lack of justice when watching Netflix’s new series Making A Murder, then this is the perfect antidote.
