Ukraine
Angelika Ustymenko, Alex King
On February 24 at 6.31 am, my partner called me and said, "Please don't panic, but they started bombing Kyiv." At that moment, a new reality started. This reality is full of horror and pain. This documentary is about the experiences of queer people during the war.
