The solution
On 5 March the people of Kherson came out against the occupation instead. In the crowd stood Alexander Gerashenko, a psychologist from the city, there to make sure nobody got hurt. He agreed to a short interview and spoke at the height of it: fear on both sides, and why five thousand people would sweep the occupiers away.
Execution
Interviewed by Alexei Sandakov; shot, edited, graded and mixed by Arthur Khanov, with daring shots of the occupiers by Alexei Makarenko. Music: «Beyond» by Adrián Berenguer. Released anonymously, for everyone's safety.
