A French documentary (with English subtitles) reporting on the crimes commited by Ukraine's Maidan regime against the civilians of the Donbass region.

I think even us aren't talking about this as much as we should.

You're absolutely right. We usually get dragged down into the mire about NATO this and enclosement that but the fact is, we know there was a campaign of collective punishment on the people of the Donbas starting after the Maidan coup which carried on for almost a decade. The people of the region requested Russian presence to stop the bombing and they did it even knowing sanctions and fighting would come to Russia itself.
People have been begging other countries like Saudi Arabia to intervene in Palestine with something more than rhetoric, this is what it looks like. It's not a fucking Aaron Sorkin show where you do a nice speech and suddenly global politics shift, sometimes force can only be resisted with force. I'm no more a fan of modern Russia than I am of, say, Egypt, but if they chose to give military support to the Palestinian people that would be commendable nonetheless.

We should've seen this back in 2016, when it was released but western censorship prevented us.

USAGM outlets are dying so fast

Another good documentary on the subject: https://youtube.com/watch?v=JM0VYkL_UI4
And of course Oliver Stone's "Ukraine on Fire" if you want to understand where this all started.

The documentary notorious for being funded by Russia? Are you serious?
- Even if that's the case, in what way exactly would this invalidate what the documentary shows? They went to Donbass to get testimonies and images directly from the peoples living here. Are you arguing that all the shelled demolished infrastructure and the artillery fire noises we hear thorough are just a setting and that all the peoples recounting the atrocities they saw and lived through are all paid actors? If so, do you have any evidence whatsoever to prove it? If not, what does Russia's funding change exactly?
- As opposed to the totally trustworthy documentaries funded by the Nazi regime in Kiev and the CIA cutouts NED/USAID?
  
  This is a fallacy, just because one group is untrustworthy, doesn't mean another is trustworthy (regardless of the trustworthiness of this doc)
- I don't need to hear more US-funded, Britain-backed, or Pro-Maidan voices. You can go to your BBC, CBCs, NBC if you want.
  
  Even the BBC did a short documentary about how the Midan movement was a boost for the rise of neo-nazis in Ukraine.
- Ok? Can you point to any falsehoods or are y'all still on ad hominem as the first and only recourse to avoid engaging with the evidence?
  
  Someone mentioned Oliver Stone movie. Is that not Western enough?
- I mean its well known that the Ukrainians were not exactly nice to the Russian population of the donbass
