This resource is the companion to the Netflix documentary ‘Winter on fire’. It deals with the Maidan protests of 2014 when the Ukrainian government refused to honour it’s decision to join the EU under pressure from Russia. Please note that this is part one of a three part lesson plan. The other two parts and teacher’s guides are available here. It’s primary focus is the discussion of civil rights and how external pressures can either build up or destroy a nation,but, this documentary cleverly shows several key elements such as: Resilience and the human desire to support each other in need. Corruption in government. How protesting can make a difference. Thank you for your interest in this resource! The Netflix Teacher
