Refugees 2022. A Documentary Film by Important Stories
How they lose, escape, and help during the war
The number of refugees who were forced to leave Ukraine after the start of the war is approaching 7 million people. Most of them had to escape for the unknown, fleeing Russian aggression. Overnight, everything they had was taken away from them: a house, a peaceful happy life, and plans for the future. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have lost their families and loved ones.
The picture of Irina Filkina — a woman with a red manicure from Bucha — has become a symbol of the war crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. Her daughters managed to evacuate from the occupied Kyiv region. They were looking for their mother for more than a month.
In our film, we have collected several stories of people. Despite all the losses that they had to endure, they found the strength to help other people.
