ЗАЛІЗНА СОТНЯ | 2004 рік | фільм українською мовою | реставрований

🎬 Plot Summary: The events unfold in the Zakerzonnia region (Lemkivshchyna) during the post-war period (1944–1947). The story centers on the soldiers of a Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) company commanded by Mykhailo Duda (alias "Hromenko"). The plot focuses on the unequal struggle of Ukrainian insurgents against several opponents simultaneously: NKVD units, the Polish communist authorities, and Soviet special services. The main characters—young men like Mykhailo, Stepan, and Oleksa—consciously chose the path of armed resistance, knowing that the chances for a quick victory were slim. The film provides a detailed look at insurgent tactics, military operations, life in hidden bunkers (kryivky), daily routines, grueling mountain marches, and combat skirmishes. Against the backdrop of the film are the tragic events known as Operation Vistula, which involved the forced deportation of the Ukrainian population from their ethnic lands, depriving the insurgents of local support and resources. The final part of the film is dedicated to the heroic and arduous breakthrough of the company's remains, known as the "Great Raid to the West," through Czechoslovakia to West Germany (the American occupation zone) to bring the truth about the struggle in Ukraine to the world. Beyond the war, the film weaves together human destinies shaped by love, betrayal, and personal sacrifice. 🎥 "The Iron Hundred" (2004), directed by Oles Yanchuk, is a historical drama based on real events and the memoirs of Mykhailo Gutsman (author of the book In the Iron Company). It stands as one of the few large-scale attempts from the early 2000s to conceptualize the phenomenon of the Ukrainian liberation movement through cinema. The film is distinguished by its dynamic battle scenes and an effort to recreate the spirit of the era without excessive pathos, emphasizing the resilience of the human spirit. 🎼 Genre: War drama, Historical drama, Social-psychological drama. 🎭 Main Cast: Mykola Boklan, Oleh Prymohenov, Ihor Pisnyi, Oleksiy Zubkov, Dmytro Tereshchuk, Vyacheslav Dovzhenko, Kateryna Kisten, Olesya Zhurakovska, Iryna Bardakova, Yaroslav Muka, Hryhoriy Hladiy, Irma Vitovska, and others. 📖 This material is presented for the purpose of preserving historical memory, analyzing social processes, and informing viewers about key moments in modern Ukrainian history.
