Victory Day is a bold, provocative thriller that explores the shadowy world of the cabal of Russian oligarchs who secretly control the economies in Eastern Europe. Writer/director Sean Ramsay stars as Sam Cassels, a photojournalist with a penchant for using his fists, who finds himself amidst crime, corruption and romance when he meets Oksana (Natalie Shiyanova), a fierce small town Russian girl who is the victim of sex-trade traffickers. As Sam is drawn into the shadowy corners of corrupt power-brokers, he also finds himself having to save the beautiful Oksana. Once he was an objective reporter of events. Now Sam is a man on a mission of vengeance.
Shot in Russia, The Czech Repu blic and Australia, Victory Day is a visually stunning exploration of the new reality of modern Russia.

Sean’s impressive record is a virtual who’s who and where’s where of the world’s hottest hot spots. He spent years covering Russia for Reuters news service during the turbulent nineties that is the setting of Victory Day. Ramsay was the last Western journalist on Tiananmen Square the night of June 4, 1989. He was among the first journalists allowed into the notorious Abu Ghraib prison scandal. He has covered the war in Afghanistan and was kidnapped and held captive while covering the second war in Iraq.
Asked why he was moved to make this film, Mr. Ramsay said, “This film and the project is basically an extension of the work I did as a journalist finding out what’s going on and reporting it. It’s my hope that a movie like this can reach people and have an impact to change things for the people who need it.”
