“Olympus Inferno” is the name of the Russian film that was on movies theaters since last march, and shows the Georgia war, and has reopened the debate on who started the war.

After months of growing tension, the war began in August of last year when Georgia sent troops to retake the disputed region of South Ossetia. Russia responded with a counterstrike in South Ossetia and moved further into Georgia, a reaction the U.S. called “Disproportionate” at the time. The conflict came to a conclusion by the end of the month with a cease-fire.

This action film was made in the American style trilogies, and tells the story an entomologist and U.S. Russian journalist, who claim to have caught involuntarily evidence that Georgia started the conflict. The story of the film takes place under special lenses that are used to record insects at night.
