    The challenge

    Kherson lived through the occupation, the protests, the liberation and the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in under two years, and most of the world saw it as headlines.

    The solution

    A letter from the city, in the first person: Alexei Sandakov, who lived through it, tells what happened from early 2022 to the end of 2023, over our own footage of the occupation, the protests, the liberation and the dam, and footage made by people of Kherson.

    Execution

    A film of our own, made with Stepline, the agency that came before film.partners: our documentary footage and residents' public footage, the narration, the edit and the sound. Fourteen minutes, in English, released on YouTube.
