This 90 minute documentary film is surprisingly sincere and powerful. Given Boris Johnson's past political performances where he cracked wise and cut a comical character at times, many would expect him to be an unusual choice for this project, but he embarks on a dangerous and fascinating journey through Kyiv to deliver a unique view of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Johnson travels unprotected, over the course of 72 hours into what is known as the 'kill zone', which sits near Zaporizhzhia. The former politician visits villages that have been ransacked by the conflict, looks into the technology of modern warfare, and endures a missile strike.
