My Favorite War is an animated documentary based on the child hood story of director Ilze Burkovska-Jacobsen, growing up in the USSR during the Cold War. A coming of age story about the personal road of escape from the brainwash of the mighty authoritarian regime. The Soviet regime used World War II as a significant ideological weapon to intimidate and oppress the population during the Cold War.
When Ilze discovers the remains of a German soldier in her backyard sandbox, she begins looking for other stories buried underneath the propaganda. “I had to make a choice then – who do I want to become and what do I believe in? The same questions young generations are asking themselves today”.
