Sound recordings can give us an animal-eye view of the war in Ukraine

The documentary film, Animals in War, tells the story of Russia's invasion of Ukraine from the point of view of the animals affected by the conflict. Sota Cinema Group

The 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in New York included a world premiere of War Through the Eyes of Animals (also known as Animals in War). The documentary gives an animal-eye view of Russia’s war against Ukraine and features the wartime experiences of several different species, including a cow, a rabbit and a wolf.

Throughout history, animals have been affected by war and exposed to its many dangers. Despite this, war is usually discussed from human-centred perspectives that marginalise animal experiences.
