Bravery comes in all sizes.
The Ukrainian children's world was shattered in 2022 — but their dreams remain unbroken. An inspiring documentary blending live-action and the animation of Ukrainian artists to tell their extraordinary story.
A collective war diary of resilient young Ukrainians.
Since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian leaders have imposed methods for undermining Ukraine's future by targeting its children — regularly accused of abducting minors, then forcing them into adoptions or captivity so they can be re-educated as Russian patriots.
Returning to the streets where he filmed his Oscar-nominated documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom, director Evgeny Afineevsky invites survivors of Russia's abductions and attacks to share their stories.
Through live-action footage and Ukrainian artists' animation, the documentary joins eight kids on international journeys to pursue their goals. Each child embodies the promise of their homeland and the potential of a nonviolent world.
The children at the heart of the film.
