Lakeshore Records release Jasha Klebe's score for the Netflix documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom. Chronicling events that unfolded over 93 days in 2013 and 2014, the film witnesses the formation of a new civil rights movement in Ukraine. What started as peaceful student demonstrations supporting European integration morphed into a full-fledged violent revolution calling for the resignation of the nation's president. The film captures the remarkable mobilization of nearly a million citizens from across the country protesting the corrupt political regime that used extreme force against its own people to suppress their demands and freedom of expression...

Jasha Klebe's score for Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight For Freedom contains some powerful, yet beautifully subtle themes. The album contains 15 tracks (39 min, 50 sec).

Personal highlights include 'March of Millions'; 'Building The Barricades' (which sounds very similar to Howard Shore's work on The Lord of the Rings as well as Patrick Doyle's music for Eragon); and 'Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!'

It's a beautiful score that holds a handful of incredible themes that are woven throughout the album's running time.
