August Eighth is a 2012 Russian action war film about the 2008 August War. The film tells the story of a young single mother who must make her way to South Ossetia to reunite with her son. The war is depicted through two different perspectives, the mother's and the son's sci-fi interpretation. Directed by Dzhanik Fayziev, it offers a unique take on the war genre. The film was not marketed as a 'search for the truth' film but was recognized for its social importance.
