In this captivating, jaw-dropping documentary, filmmaker Itai Anghel spent nearly a month with the people of Ukraine during the siege on Kyiv. From the day before the invasion, when its residents did not believe they were in Putin's sights - to quickly rallying to protect their nation, and to fighting in battle. This documentary shows rare images, voices, and stories of people in Bucha, Irpin, and Gorenka, weeks before they became internationally known for the worst of reasons. Although focusing only on Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, the Israeli identity of the crew led to unexpected and dramatic encounters. As Ukraine has a Jewish president, the expectations from Israel were high; and as the war intensified, Ukrainians' disappointment with the Jewish state grew. "I don't feel that he's (former Israeli PM Bennett) wrapping himself in our flag," said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Anghel in Kyiv.

Here, take a trip into the BBC’s archives to look back on Terry’s extraordinary, genre-hopping career - from his early, decade-defining days as front man with The Specials, to Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield and his acclaimed solo career. Along the way, there were also multiple collaborations, ranging from Mark Ronson to Bananarama, the best of which are captured here in performances of hits including Gangsters, Thinking of You, Sense and Our Lips Are Sealed from shows like Top of the Pops, Whistle Test, Live in Session for BBC 6 Music, Glastonbury, the pioneering Oxford Road Show – and even some Cheggers Plays Pop.
