Edmonton will host a screening of the Ukrainian spy thriller “GUR: Code ‘Sikora’”—a gripping story of courage, risk, difficult moral decisions, and one of the most famous special operations carried out by Ukrainian military intelligence.
The film is based on events related to a special operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, codenamed “Sinitsa”, which took place in 2023.

The film immerses viewers in a world of secret negotiations, dangerous decisions, psychological tension, and the struggle for trust. At the heart of the story are the people whose actions determine the success of an extremely complex mission.
One of the leading roles in the film is played by Akhtem Seitablaiev—a renowned Ukrainian actor and director.
