A grim, tension-filled account of Ukrainian soldiers' desperate 242-day defense of Donetsk Airport against Russian-backed forces, grounded in historical tragedy and sacrifice.

‘The Cyborgs’ is re-telling the recent history of Ukraine – the legendary fight for Donetsk Airport in 2014 during Russian invasion. The freedom fighters from various divisions of Ukrainian army and volunteer battalions took a 242-days stand against the Russian backed militants until the complete destruction of the airport’s terminal.
