Donbass: I'm Alive!

Overview

«What are they doing? Making a human shield! They hid behind old men! Idiots! Damned Ukraine! It makes me so angry!» Mariupol residents who had to hide in the cellar during Ukrainian shelling share their stories. Over 400,000 people in Mariupol had to go underground because they weren’t allowed outside the city by the Ukrainian units. The film features stories of courage and perseverance people displayed in crisis. For example, a Russian soldier drives under gunfire to distribute humanitarian aid; a volunteer from Texas helps reunite families separated during the evacuation. A courageous OB-GYN helps 25 women give birth during the bombing. Where did they find the courage, and what awaits them?
