Emilis Vėlyvis is filming a new historical movie set in postwar Lithuania, during the years of partisan resistance. The film, titled ‘Catch the Hawk,’ looks back at a period shaped by armed struggle and the fight for freedom.

But the filmmakers do not want to tell only the story of historical events or military resistance. Their focus is also on the people living through that period, the choices they made and the relationships they formed.

At the heart of the film is the price of freedom, and what individuals had to risk and give up for it.
