The mysterious collapse of the Kahkhovka Dam floods the frontline on the eve of Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia's invasion.
Our documentary follows the soldiers, aid workers, and determined citizens of Kherson as they wade through the chaos to save all that they have fought for.
“My nickname is Dzihit, my name is Artur, we are now in Kherson. I was at war 2014 through 2015, and then since February 24, 2022, when my family found themselves on the occupied territory near Hostomel. “
“I led a quiet and worthy life. I don’t know what he wanted from us. We’re a kind people. We didn’t have any wars with any Republic.”
“The dam was blown up. And the water started flooding the villages. This side is not so flooded, but the left side, where the russian troops are, it’s… And they didn’t let people in, so our guys came there by boats to save old people despite the shootings. And we were caught in the the middle of shootings today, but we have to do it. Old people are left there and the water level is too high.”
“I’ve lived my whole life in Kherson. And when all this began, I saw so many bad people that I’m not afraid of anything anymore.”
