In war, the mind gets focused on the essence of life. Family, friends, food, heritage, what you’ll fight for, what you might die to keep. The choices one makes each morning when the sun rises. To The Zero Line takes place during a time of war, during the full-scale invasion of a European country, Ukraine. At stake are the hospitals, churches, music, art, children, pregnant women, expectant fathers, against a force determined to murder all of it. Genocide. You experience the perpetual cycle of life of the invaded, the birth of two children, a wedding, death, the loss of a loved one, Soldiers in battle on the zero line, and back in the cities, towns, and villages each person has his or her own personal zero line. You experience people from outside the country flooding in to help in what ways they can. Each adding a small part to a big puzzle. If you’re in the UK, USA, Germany, or France, you might ask yourself, How am I so different? What would I do if death comes knocking on my door or my parents’ door or my school door or my church’s door. The film is an opportunity to think for yourself. Everybody in life is going to the Zero Line. The point of contact with your worst fears. Where the enemy is. Horrible hours, and brutal seconds. Where you need true friends and your best moments.

  1. Jonathan thank you very much for this in depth discussion with a highly interesting man. Ben Goldhagen’s film contributes so beautifully in showing to us the TRUE and REAL Ukraine and countering this blatantly false and vicious ruSSian propaganda about Ukraine. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βœŒοΈ

  2. Although some rudimentary anti-Semitism brought by the Muscovites sometimes manifested itself back in 1990s, it completely disappeared since the 2000s, new generations of Ukrainians show no xenophobic impulses whatsoever. Being victims of multiple genocides, both Ukrainians and Jews understand each other well, there is a huge mutual support in both wars, and Ukraine is now considered the safest country for Jews to live or travel.

  3. Moscow Patriarchate has been created on 4 September 1943 by Joseph Stalin personally and has nothing to do with any Christianity whatsoever, it was designed as a subversive religious organization fully manned by the MGB, NKVD, KGB and FSB agents in cassocks. All the Muscovite monasteries were turned into weapons warehouses and military bases from were the Muscovite special forces invaded Ukraine both in 2014 and 2022.

  5. Absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Thank you. Indeed, you feel tears swelling up when you’ve realize how close is the Russian mindset to that of Adult Hitler with the bunch of morally degenerate sycophants. Who can watch regular folks getting slaughtered simply because they speak wrong language or simply being different?

  6. you guys should try to ask on point why the russians say and do things instead of adopting this victim narative to pamper the emotional idiots in the west, something like russians say this about the religion in ukraine because they lost control of the ukrainean church which was a great instrument of propaganda and power projection for the kremlin, or is that cutting to much into some similar bs in the west that could spiral into other topics? ohhh noo, we want russia to change and reform, without actually be willing to change and reform ourselfs, oh no , you get rid of your parasites while the ones we have should remain in theyr place, we all know the west is inocently flawless that doesnt manipulate and fks up other places for selfisly narrow agendas. i agree , fk russia , fk russia hard, but also fk the west and everyone else in between, except slovenia, slovenia is nice

  7. Thanks for the interview, Jonathan. I enjoyed the questions and the answers and came away wanting to see the film Ben has made very much. I will watch it and then send some feedback but just listening to Ben describing the making of it, I already have an idea of how powerful of a film it must be.

  8. 58:00 "On the hunt for a talented social producer/editor to join my team to work across two new, cool client projects." from top of Ben's LinkedIn page.

    Ben Goldhagen's father survived the Holocaust, his brother is renowned social scientist, Daniel Goldhagen, who is the author of the 1996 book, Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust.

  9. Thank you for another great segment, Jonathan. I look forward to seeing Ben’s film, particularly after listening to his approach to capturing the Ukrainian life , and experience in this genocidal war perpetrated by Russia.

    I appreciate both of your opinions concerning the similarities Ukrainians share with people from Europe, the U.K., and U.S. My experience interacting with Ukrainians revealed just how small the World seems. Except for language, and a deep appreciation for Ukrainian culture and tradition, they are remarkably similar to Western culture.

    Jonathan, I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your undying commitment to Ukraine. Your Love for the people, and everything Ukraine keeps the antiseptic light on the genocidal scourge that is Russian.

    I look forward to viewing your film, Ben πŸ™πŸΌ

  10. Thank you so much @siliconcurtain. Your work on spreading information and awareness about the crimes Russia is committing now (and have been committing for centuries) is something I will never forget. Thank you!

  11. Excellent interview with Mr Goldhagen, he seems to be a very kind person tasked with reporting on the most evil of diabolical genocide. His film is truly historical, indeed immersive and β€œcinema veritas”. I’ll surely watch again. Thank you Jonathan πŸ™πŸ»
