Screening of a documentary film by The Kyiv Independent: Can You Hear Me? – The invisible battles of Ukrainian military medics
16 March @ 19:00 - 17 March @ 17:30
Amsterdam and The Hague Screenings | Info
The documentary “Can You Hear Me? The Invisible Battles of Ukrainian Military Medics” follows a group of Ukrainian military medics as they travel from the heat of battle in war-torn Ukraine to the serene forests of Sweden for a mental health retreat. For the first time since 2022, these medics have a chance to process the trauma they have experienced – grappling with the loss of brothers-in-arms, surviving Russian captivity, and the weight of guilt over soldiers they couldn’t save. The film is directed by Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko and produced by Kyiv Independent.
The Kyiv Independent, in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden andthe Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands, will be hosting two screenings. You can choose the city that suits you best. The film will be screened in Ukrainian with English subtitles, followed by a discussion with the film’s authors in English.
