Hetman (Ukrainian: Гетьман) is a Ukrainian historical film directed by Valery Yamburskyi telling about the tragic love of Bohdan Khmelnytsky for a young Polish woman, Helena Czaplińska.
When Polish noblet Daniel Czapliński attacked Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s farm in Subotiv, kidnapped his wife and beat his little son Tymish, the Ukrainian Cossacks, led by Bohdan, begin their uprising.
A number of Ukrainian critics spoke poorly of the film, noting the “terrible Polish” of some characters [1][2]
In 2016, the film received an award in the category “Best Feature Film 2015” [3]
