Winner of the 2024 Sundance Grand Jury Prize: U.S. Documentary, Porcelain War is a stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, embodying the enduring hope and passion of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. 

Under roaring fighter jets, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although it's easy to make people afraid, it's hard to destroy their passion for living. 

From the Academy Award®–winning producer of The Cove and the Emmy® Award–winning producer of Chasing Ice, and the team behind the Grammy® Award–winning Quincy, Porcelain War is one of the most decorated documentary features of 2024.
