00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,720
TOM: What exactly
is the question?

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,000
INTERVIEWER: The question is,

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:17,480
of all the things
you could bring

6
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:20,719
to these pretty devastated
and dangerous places,

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,920
why pizzas?

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,678
TOM: Yeah, why?

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,719
AUDREY: That looks like
two explosions, two big boys,

10
00:00:38,798 --> 00:00:40,798
two big smoke plumes over there.

11
00:00:43,118 --> 00:00:44,118
(Explosion thud)

12
00:00:44,158 --> 00:00:47,200
TOM: Another explosion coming
up over there with dark smoke.

13
00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:49,600
AUDREY: Third one

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,359
INTERVIEWER: So, tell me
about the history of this road.

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,520
The highway to hell.

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,079
This is the road into Kherson,

17
00:01:03,158 --> 00:01:05,280
which in 2022, after liberation,

18
00:01:06,078 --> 00:01:09,000
we'd come out long
after dark, every night.

19
00:01:09,078 --> 00:01:12,120
There were dead bodies
on the road, almost every day.

20
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:18,962
(Droning music)

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Yeah, it's um...

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,718
It's a nerve-wracking
day's work.

23
00:01:25,438 --> 00:01:26,456
(Van goes over bump)

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,120
INTERVIEWER: There's
no other way there.

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,760
There's no other way
to get there.

26
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:31,239
(Bump in the road)

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,599
And I'm stressed as fuck

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560
till I get back out
through that checkpoint.

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,358
REPORTER: Reports of explosions
in the Ukrainian capital

30
00:01:49,447 --> 00:01:51,766
as Vladimir Putin announces
a special military...

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,358
REPORTER 2:...assault on
Ukraine began with missile...

32
00:01:54,438 --> 00:01:57,599
REPORTER 3:...a missile going
into a high-rise residential...

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,519
REPORTER 4:...explosions
around the capital.

34
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:01,438
REPORTER 5:
on the outskirts...

35
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:03,319
REPORTER 6:...a major
military assault...

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,158
(Peaceful piano music)

37
00:02:11,703 --> 00:02:13,905
AUDREY: When you look at
guys who have done tours,

38
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:14,935
for example,

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,919
in Afghanistan and Iraq,
not that we're soldiers,

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,560
but they're pretty
screwed up after,

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,639
and we've done the equivalent
of like five tours almost.

42
00:02:23,718 --> 00:02:30,037
(Peaceful piano music continues)

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,116
(Fighter plane flies overhead)

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,878
(Missile explosion)

45
00:02:38,718 --> 00:02:40,400
(Mortar fires from tank)

46
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:47,758
TOM: I want to go home.

47
00:02:48,598 --> 00:02:49,608
Hm.

48
00:02:50,598 --> 00:02:51,639
But so does everyone.

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,718
It's difficult knowing there's
hundreds of people looking

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,158
because you're
in a stupid skirt,

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,718
and you have to
smile all the time.

52
00:03:03,758 --> 00:03:05,240
I'm just trying to...

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,878
get my smile back on.

54
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:28,484
(Train horn and chugging)

55
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
TOM: So we are in our train
rattling across the Ukraine.

56
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,158
We've been through Kyiv, and
then up halfway over to Kharkiv,

57
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,318
which is our destination.

58
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Where we'll be working.

59
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,639
The Russians have
come over the border

60
00:03:44,718 --> 00:03:46,840
and occupied some of
the villages along the top,

61
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:49,479
but that situation's
fairly stabilized now.

62
00:03:49,598 --> 00:03:52,520
My hope is we'll be able
to work through this area,

63
00:03:52,598 --> 00:03:55,360
staying 25 kilometers back
from the Russian artillery.

64
00:03:55,438 --> 00:03:59,038
And down into Zaporizhzhia
where we'll be based for a week.

65
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,240
If the plan holds,
which it never does

66
00:04:01,318 --> 00:04:03,199
because the war tends
to change everything,

67
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,199
we'll then come down to Nikolaev

68
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,758
for the last
10 days of the month

69
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,840
where we can drive quite long
ways each day through it

70
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:12,038
to Kherson Oblast.

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,479
As Ukraine gets ready to defend,
or has been of late,

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,360
they've been building
their defensive lines.

73
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,319
Many of the villages
that are still free

74
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:20,439
are to the East of
those defensive lines,

75
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:25,120
so they feel deeply abandoned
and expectant of reoccupation.

76
00:04:25,221 --> 00:04:27,382
It's certainly one of the
hardest areas I'd say.

77
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,879
(Peaceful piano music)

78
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
IZZY: It's so strange
that you can buy a ticket

79
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:45,879
as if you're going
interrailing or something,

80
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:49,278
but in reality you're
ending up in a war zone.

81
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,759
INTERVIEWER: So Flora,

82
00:04:54,838 --> 00:04:56,639
why are you on
the train to Kharkiv?

83
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,399
Something I've been
asking myself for 14 hours.

84
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,504
(Flora laughs)

85
00:05:04,540 --> 00:05:05,870
Um...

86
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,920
I've done a few bits
of volunteering

87
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,199
over the past few years

88
00:05:09,271 --> 00:05:13,552
and it's just the one thing
that you get so much from.

89
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,480
IZZY: I didn't quite know what
we were getting ourselves into,

90
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560
because it's not just
us bringing pizza,

91
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:25,399
it gives people an
opportunity to connect

92
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,800
in a way that's
separate from wartime.

93
00:05:27,872 --> 00:05:30,543
(Bagpipe music plays)

94
00:05:30,802 --> 00:05:34,401
MAN: Here we are serving these
amazing Ukrainian people,

95
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,240
they are coming over the borders

96
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:38,360
and the pizza
oven is in full flow.

97
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,160
Look at that, a new
team just arrived.

98
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,399
NARRATOR: They
came to cook pizzas

99
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,199
for hungry Ukrainian refugees
here at the Polish border.

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240
MAN: It's about -2 degrees
and the kitchens are running.

101
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:52,920
NARRATOR: But a small
team from a Scottish charity

102
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,240
didn't stop there.

103
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:58,360
They took their pizza ovens,
crossed into Ukraine.

104
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,480
And just kept on going
East towards the fighting.

105
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,000
MAN: Jesus Christ.

106
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Fucking hell.

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,266
NARRATOR: Following
the Ukrainian army

108
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,879
to towns recently liberated
from the Russians.

109
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:21,959
(Crowd cheers)

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,639
NARRATOR: And into villages that
have been razed to the ground

111
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,920
and brutalized.

112
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,660
Hot pizza!

113
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,360
NARRATOR: Even taking to boats

114
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,199
when a destroyed dam
made the roads impassable.

115
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:36,819
What service!

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,240
Thank you!

117
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,519
NARRATOR: This is the
charity's leader, Tom Hughes.

118
00:06:45,838 --> 00:06:49,600
He's been cooking pizzas in
Ukraine's front line villages

119
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,278
for two and a half years

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,160
with the help of a stream
of new volunteers

121
00:06:54,232 --> 00:06:56,112
like Flora and Izzy.

122
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,000
(Gentle train chugging)

123
00:06:58,439 --> 00:06:59,838
IZZY: It's hard
not to sound naive

124
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,920
because we are naive,
we are literally 22.

125
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,439
(Flora laughs)

126
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:05,399
INTERVIEWER: Does mum know
where you're going?

127
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,120
She knows where I'm going.

128
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:10,838
She doesn't know
what that means, I think.

129
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,199
Not to do her
a massive disservice,

130
00:07:13,271 --> 00:07:14,911
but I don't think she knows

131
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,639
about the recent offensive
that's taken place near Kharkiv.

132
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:33,718
(Air raid siren blares)

133
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:54,319
TOM: The first
time we came this way,

134
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:57,600
it was in late Summer,
autumn of 2022

135
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,879
as it got liberated.

136
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,959
When the war was still
very, very visible here.

137
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,079
Everything was blown up
and tanks all over the place.

138
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:08,720
Yeah, this road is where
the Eastern advance

139
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,278
at the beginning of the war met
up with the northern advance,

140
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,879
all pushing for Kharkiv,

141
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:14,120
so this all got occupied.

142
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:15,838
It is still horrendously mined.

143
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,759
The villagers still lose
legs on a weekly basis

144
00:08:19,838 --> 00:08:21,000
through this area,

145
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:22,371
(Danger: mines!)

146
00:08:22,379 --> 00:08:24,040
and as with all of
the Eastern villages

147
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,278
is now living with the fairly
real horror and threat

148
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,480
of reoccupation

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,519
if the front line
advances much further.

150
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,142
(Peaceful piano music)

151
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,326
(Truck drives by field)

152
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:01,600
NARRATOR: It's a
beautiful July morning,

153
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440
and we're on our
way out of Kharkiv

154
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:06,158
to cook pizzas
in one of the villages,

155
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Seventsi,

156
00:09:07,678 --> 00:09:09,720
that was occupied
by the Russians.

157
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:14,551
(Peaceful piano music continues)

158
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,519
As we get closer
to the fighting,

159
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,639
the roads are becoming
eerily deserted.

160
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,490
TOM: Stop, stop.

161
00:09:31,918 --> 00:09:36,519
Bullet holes in the walls,
blue tarps on the roof.

162
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,480
We're in the right place.

163
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:46,460
(Truck beeps)

164
00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:06,200
Tom, we're gonna
serve here, right?

165
00:10:06,278 --> 00:10:07,303
Yeah.

166
00:10:07,678 --> 00:10:14,678
(Upbeat rock and roll music)

167
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,662
(Upbeat rock and
roll music continues)

168
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,320
I've been out here going on
nine months I think now.

169
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:40,937
INTERVIEWER: It's a long time.

170
00:10:40,995 --> 00:10:42,009
It is.

171
00:10:42,038 --> 00:10:43,918
INTERVIEWER:
Why have you spent so long here?

172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,678
Um, because I love
what we're doing here.

173
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:48,918
I love this country,
and I love this work.

174
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,653
(Upbeat rock and
roll music continues)

175
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,639
It's important that we're here
helping the people out,

176
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,038
you know, raising
the morale, it's vital.

177
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,399
And everybody loves pizza.

178
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,840
(Upbeat rock and
roll music continues)

179
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,000
INTERVIEWER:
How hot are you, Rod?

180
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:20,038
Yeah,
I'll just have a quick look.

181
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:26,639
Go, go, go, go!

182
00:11:38,278 --> 00:11:42,158
(Reflective piano music)

183
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,200
TOM: What we,
I think, set out to do

184
00:11:44,278 --> 00:11:48,798
was to humanize as
opposed to dehumanize.

185
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,558
If you see a
traditional aid distribution,

186
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,038
it's a very grim thing and it,
from my experience,

187
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600
tends to really
dehumanize people and say,

188
00:11:57,678 --> 00:12:00,480
here's your package
of toothpaste,

189
00:12:00,558 --> 00:12:02,720
nappies, Medicaid,
whatever it is,

190
00:12:02,798 --> 00:12:03,918
move on through.

191
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,480
And our purpose was almost
the opposite of that,

192
00:12:07,558 --> 00:12:10,278
was to say, you're a human

193
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,798
and you matter as
much as anyone.

194
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:13,278
We're here in support of you.

195
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
People hear that the
West was with Ukraine,

196
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,158
but there's no sign
of it on the ground.

197
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,600
And when a bunch
of Westerners turn up

198
00:12:23,678 --> 00:12:27,000
with what's perceived
as a Western food product,

199
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,600
it made a huge difference.

200
00:12:29,678 --> 00:12:35,399
(Reflective piano
music continues)

201
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,600
(They chat in Ukrainian)

202
00:12:45,038 --> 00:12:48,558
These are the villages
that we've spoken about often

203
00:12:49,158 --> 00:12:51,440
in the thrust of
where we need to be.

204
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:54,360
We have done a lot of the towns,
the cities that are known,

205
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,000
but we are going to places where
there's no aid being delivered,

206
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,320
no aid organizations
go into them.

207
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,519
So I, I feel we're hitting the
heart of where we need to be.

208
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:06,720
To me, I call them
forgotten villages,

209
00:13:06,798 --> 00:13:09,200
where they really are forgotten
by their own government

210
00:13:09,278 --> 00:13:10,320
as well as everyone else.

211
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,639
And I think we're
certainly touching areas

212
00:13:13,678 --> 00:13:14,678
that nobody's done.

213
00:13:15,278 --> 00:13:17,440
INTERVIEWER: But Kevin,
on the way here this morning,

214
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,678
we saw an awful lot of signs
of destruction and war.

215
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:23,399
Yeah.

216
00:13:23,404 --> 00:13:26,600
INTERVIEWER: I mean, this place
was occupied by the Russians.

217
00:13:26,678 --> 00:13:29,879
Yes, most of these
little villages were

218
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,360
and it must be just terrifying
for the people that are here.

219
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:40,399
For me to go and give pizzas to
these people that have suffered,

220
00:13:40,678 --> 00:13:42,678
it's the least I can do.

221
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,558
And it's a bond between
us and the Ukrainians

222
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:49,558
to let them know that
we are here with them.

223
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,538
Good job here.

224
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,013
(She speaks Ukrainian)

225
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,278
(They speaks Ukrainian)

226
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,399
Thank you.

227
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,678
(Catching a package)

228
00:14:06,558 --> 00:14:08,759
INTERVIEWER: So this is
a very chilled out scene.

229
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,759
It seems like the war
is a million miles away.

230
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:16,960
Yeah, it's certainly not,
um, 26 clicks from the river,

231
00:14:17,038 --> 00:14:20,798
then 28/29 clicks
from the Russians.

232
00:14:22,158 --> 00:14:24,158
That's about as close as we get.

233
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,918
This whole oblast
is far from peaceful.

234
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,558
It's all had eight
months' occupation,

235
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:32,000
and since then,
since October 2022,

236
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,399
it's experienced the war.

237
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,798
Every village has heard the war.

238
00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:36,080
You hear it on a daily basis.

239
00:14:36,158 --> 00:14:37,960
I'm amazed we haven't
heard anything today.

240
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:41,240
They're tough as fuck,
these people,

241
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,038
and they know that a rocket
can come in and kill them all

242
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,519
and they just carry on.

243
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,038
I've seen air defense rockets
go off to shoot drones

244
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,240
that are over our heads,

245
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,240
and I'm in absolute pieces,

246
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,440
as any rational person would be,

247
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,558
and the crowds are just
standing there going,

248
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,120
"Can I have five pizzas,
please?"

249
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,158
They've all just made
it totally normal.

250
00:15:28,580 --> 00:15:31,980
My name is Haragatyi
Anatoly Borysovych,

251
00:15:32,058 --> 00:15:34,620
I'm a resident of the village
Savyntsi, Izyum region.

252
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:39,620
I turned 71 years old this year.

253
00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:44,700
I’ve been doing
photography my whole life.

254
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,197
When the war started and the

255
00:15:46,210 --> 00:15:48,100
Russian troops
entered the village,

256
00:15:48,178 --> 00:15:54,460
I started filming the
convoys from my balcony.

257
00:15:59,620 --> 00:16:02,220
The occupiers should go home.

258
00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:06,778
Fascists, racists, bitches.

259
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,620
You will all burn in hell.

260
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:19,980
Let’s count them.

261
00:16:20,778 --> 00:16:23,980
The third one is moving
faster than the other two.

262
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:33,740
Come on. Come on.
May you all burn in hell.

263
00:16:37,418 --> 00:16:43,100
This is where I was
filming them from.

264
00:16:44,340 --> 00:16:48,860
I was lucky they couldn’t
see me because of the trees.

265
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,019
If they had seen me,
it would have been the end.

266
00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:59,100
They were killing people here.

267
00:16:59,178 --> 00:17:03,658
During the interrogations
if you didn’t confess.

268
00:17:09,618 --> 00:17:11,644
They took me to a room with

269
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:14,298
three blood
spatters on the walls

270
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:16,940
from people being
shot in the head.

271
00:17:19,019 --> 00:17:21,394
They said if I didn’t cooperate

272
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,291
with them, I would
be the fourth.

273
00:17:25,058 --> 00:17:27,140
They’re tyrants, barbarians.

274
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:33,105
How did the world
let this happen?

275
00:17:33,578 --> 00:17:36,778
I don’t understand.

276
00:17:37,838 --> 00:17:44,838
(Upbeat music playing)

277
00:17:51,038 --> 00:17:52,480
NARRATOR: There's a real purpose

278
00:17:52,558 --> 00:17:55,598
to the way they circle the
pizza trucks in these villages.

279
00:17:57,798 --> 00:17:59,598
Turn up the music loud enough

280
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,798
so the Ukrainians
and the volunteers

281
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,118
can't hear the bangs anymore.

282
00:18:05,818 --> 00:18:07,298
How old are you?

283
00:18:09,538 --> 00:18:10,538
12.

284
00:18:14,858 --> 00:18:17,098
29! Oh, 12...

285
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,184
(They laugh)

286
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,720
AUDREY: It's not that
they're starving for food,

287
00:18:24,798 --> 00:18:27,038
they're starving
for interaction.

288
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,240
It's just the actual
physical touch.

289
00:18:31,038 --> 00:18:33,278
The other part of
it too is just play,

290
00:18:33,358 --> 00:18:36,519
so they get to step
outside of themselves.

291
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,558
And to be something
totally different,

292
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,000
like even the little girl when
she has the cat face paint on.

293
00:18:43,693 --> 00:18:45,493
Suddenly she's transformed.

294
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,200
(Girl miaows)

295
00:18:47,798 --> 00:18:55,126
(Rock and roll music continues)

296
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,318
NARRATOR: This
young boy is called David.

297
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,920
He was hidden by his
grandmother in a cellar

298
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,318
when the Russians came.

299
00:19:05,318 --> 00:19:07,920
It was so loud from the war,

300
00:19:08,818 --> 00:19:12,380
that we couldn’t
really go outside.

301
00:19:13,259 --> 00:19:15,019
We were living in the basement,

302
00:19:15,098 --> 00:19:17,940
so we had to run to the
house to heat up food for him.

303
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,200
NARRATOR: David
was so traumatized

304
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,640
that he still hasn't
learned to speak.

305
00:19:27,558 --> 00:19:29,268
(They laugh)

306
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:34,240
(Rock and roll music continues)

307
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,078
NARRATOR: The aerial
you can see over there

308
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,078
is meant to warn the village
when an attack is imminent.

309
00:19:43,318 --> 00:19:46,897
(Air raid siren blares)

310
00:19:47,118 --> 00:19:50,640
The problem is, the
alarms go off so often here,

311
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,160
that people just ignore them.

312
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:59,900
(Air raid siren continues)

313
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,078
VOLUNTEER: There's so many
like conflicting elements of it.

314
00:20:08,925 --> 00:20:11,007
Like I mean just
last week we were set up,

315
00:20:11,038 --> 00:20:13,118
and you know a military,

316
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,118
it was a beautiful
day just like this,

317
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,598
like clear skies, sunny,
kids laughing, playing,

318
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,200
and then a military
officer pulled up

319
00:20:20,278 --> 00:20:22,200
and told us we had
to leave in six minutes

320
00:20:22,278 --> 00:20:25,880
because there was
a Russian drone nearby,

321
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,920
so we had to pack up
and leave like in an instant

322
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,960
and it's just like...

323
00:20:31,358 --> 00:20:32,798
the push and pull of that,

324
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,598
because on one hand,
it's a beautiful day.

325
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,880
How can there be...

326
00:20:38,598 --> 00:20:41,400
How can there be
beauty and death in this,

327
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:43,640
in one place at once?

328
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,680
Um...

329
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,480
That's kind of how it is.

330
00:20:47,558 --> 00:20:50,598
So I'll say wonderful
and then I'll say stressful.

331
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,240
(He laughs)

332
00:20:52,318 --> 00:20:53,334
Bye!

333
00:20:54,598 --> 00:20:57,400
Thank you! Bye bye!

334
00:21:03,598 --> 00:21:05,343
TOM: Unpleasantness
is so normalized here

335
00:21:05,380 --> 00:21:07,278
that you have to
trust local reaction

336
00:21:07,318 --> 00:21:08,759
for when you should be scared.

337
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,680
It's quite a
dangerous habit, I'd say.

338
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,798
AUDREY: I think people who
have been here for a long time

339
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,200
almost resign themselves to that

340
00:21:15,278 --> 00:21:17,440
and that there is nothing
they can do about it,

341
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,838
so they choose not to be afraid,

342
00:21:20,078 --> 00:21:21,960
whether that's healthy
or not, I don't know.

343
00:21:23,798 --> 00:21:26,000
Or like the farmers who
are just ploughing along

344
00:21:26,278 --> 00:21:27,519
between the front lines.

345
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,640
(Soft piano music)

346
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:45,184
(Soft piano music continues)

347
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:50,920
(They laugh)

348
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,880
TOM: I've never quite known
what I was on the planet for.

349
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,400
I felt pretty lost
most of my life.

350
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,278
I used to teach flying, sort of
backpack flying, paramotoring.

351
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:09,078
Used to do scuba diving here
and there around the world.

352
00:22:09,838 --> 00:22:12,720
Worked as a captain
on a sailing boat.

353
00:22:15,358 --> 00:22:16,880
I'm incredibly privileged.

354
00:22:17,838 --> 00:22:21,558
I come from this unbelievably
safe, easy, wonderful world.

355
00:22:24,924 --> 00:22:26,046
When I found this,

356
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,200
I felt for the first time that
all of my very weird abilities

357
00:22:31,278 --> 00:22:34,880
that have never fitted
onto any CV came together

358
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,118
and made me good at this.

359
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:46,098
(Peaceful piano music continues)

360
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:03,673
(People sing
together in Ukrainian)

361
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:12,137
(Singing continues)

362
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:27,519
(Air raid siren)

363
00:23:34,278 --> 00:23:36,200
(Dog howls)

364
00:23:36,278 --> 00:23:43,278
(Bombs explode)

365
00:23:43,358 --> 00:23:50,358
(Air raid siren continues)

366
00:23:53,038 --> 00:23:54,880
NARRATOR: With the
city under nightly attack

367
00:23:54,924 --> 00:23:56,644
by waves of Russian drones,

368
00:23:57,598 --> 00:24:00,920
the only real protection
lies with these men,

369
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,838
a small team of drone hunters.

370
00:24:03,278 --> 00:24:04,960
(Soldiers preparing gun)

371
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:18,444
(Shooting down drone)

372
00:24:21,798 --> 00:24:23,838
It's the same night after night.

373
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,240
They shoot some down, but
the numbers are overwhelming.

374
00:24:40,318 --> 00:24:42,318
VOLUNTEER: Oh, please.
Very good.

375
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:48,598
(Air raid siren blares)

376
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,118
AIR RAID SIREN APP: Attention,
air raid alert, proceed to the…

377
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,720
INTERVIEWER: What's going on
Marcel?

378
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,920
Well, air raid alert.

379
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,078
And of course, the procedure is
to go into the shelter, but...

380
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,680
(He chuckles)

381
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:12,759
stubbornly enough, I think
this is more important,

382
00:25:12,838 --> 00:25:14,558
the job that we
are doing right now.

383
00:25:15,278 --> 00:25:18,078
And let the Russians
not disturb it.

384
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Well, we were under alert
for 27 hours yesterday,

385
00:25:22,353 --> 00:25:25,113
so going to the shelter's
not really an option.

386
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,798
-MARCEL: Okay. Yeah.
-If there's work to do.

387
00:25:28,358 --> 00:25:31,680
INTERVIEWER: Tom, I was
thinking about risk last night

388
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:33,000
and how you analyze risk.

389
00:25:33,078 --> 00:25:35,240
People think, you know,
you're going to Kharkiv,

390
00:25:35,318 --> 00:25:36,373
you're gonna die,

391
00:25:36,798 --> 00:25:39,920
which of course,
in reality is not, not the case.

392
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,798
I'd agree, yesterday's
a really good example

393
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,440
because there was a big missile
strike across the country.

394
00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:46,200
Kyiv got hit really hard.

395
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,680
It's a reality here
and no one really notices.

396
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,038
Yeah, some volunteers say,

397
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,318
"I feel like I haven't
really seen the war -

398
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,118
and I wish there'd
been some bombs."

399
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,759
I disagree personally, I'm
a big fan of the quiet weeks.

400
00:26:07,278 --> 00:26:10,240
AUDREY: I didn't come
out here knowing the risk.

401
00:26:10,318 --> 00:26:12,640
I started off on the
border in Poland

402
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,278
and we sort of
worked our way east,

403
00:26:14,318 --> 00:26:18,640
so it was sort of like
dropping a lobster into a pot

404
00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:20,400
and then turning
up the heat slowly.

405
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,798
# He tells me we're gonna marry
as soon as he meets daddy

406
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,240
# And all these problems
will go away

407
00:26:31,278 --> 00:26:34,000
# I knew him well as far... #

408
00:26:34,078 --> 00:26:36,160
NARRATOR: Before the
war, Audrey McAlpine

409
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,078
was a folk and bluegrass singer
from Nashville, Tennessee.

410
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,880
# Though he's a little bit... #

411
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,118
AUDREY: I think definitely
I came out here

412
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,519
to experience what living was,

413
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,519
to feel something
in a deeper way.

414
00:26:52,598 --> 00:26:54,798
I think war
heightens everything.

415
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,680
It heightens the
way that we love,

416
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:58,759
it heightens the
way that we hate,

417
00:26:58,838 --> 00:27:00,759
it heightens the
way we feel stress,

418
00:27:00,838 --> 00:27:01,873
all those things.

419
00:27:02,358 --> 00:27:04,118
I think that can
be attractive to people,

420
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,440
especially nowadays where things
feel quite damp and muted.

421
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,000
# I can't help
what I do for myself.

422
00:27:13,078 --> 00:27:16,278
# He's got keys to
this castle of mine #

423
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,358
AUDREY: I met Tom and so that
changed things for me a lot too.

424
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,519
And that blossomed
into something else.

425
00:27:31,838 --> 00:27:35,558
Because it's something that
we've grown together

426
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,558
from just a little tent on
the border to what it is now.

427
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,480
When I first saw him, I thought
he was a celebrity, actually.

428
00:27:52,493 --> 00:27:54,493
I don't know, he sort of
had this way about him.

429
00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:58,318
He was a bit debonair
or something like that,

430
00:27:58,358 --> 00:28:01,318
but he's certainly got
a ruggedness to him,

431
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,078
and I think I've seen
him change a lot.

432
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,400
He came out here
as this English playboy

433
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,873
and became a real leader
over the course of two years.

434
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,440
NARRATOR: We're leaving
Kharkiv on the road south.

435
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,400
Everywhere you look,
there are the reminders of war.

436
00:28:32,278 --> 00:28:36,000
(Peaceful piano music)

437
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,680
Here they have
widened the motorway

438
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,640
so fighter jets can land
away from Russian eyes.

439
00:28:49,118 --> 00:28:51,118
We're heading
to Zaporizhzhia now.

440
00:28:53,118 --> 00:28:55,078
It's a key target
for the Russians

441
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,200
and it's being hit daily
with missile and drone attacks.

442
00:29:01,358 --> 00:29:04,573
(Gentle piano music)

443
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,240
INTERVIEWER:
You said to me earlier on

444
00:29:07,318 --> 00:29:10,160
that there's a certain
amount of relief in your mind

445
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,278
that you survived.

446
00:29:11,358 --> 00:29:12,640
Yeah. It's not very rational

447
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,278
but having watched
a fair few hotels blow up,

448
00:29:16,358 --> 00:29:19,078
it's always in one's mind
that hotels get blown up.

449
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,720
So as the days go on in a hotel,

450
00:29:22,798 --> 00:29:25,558
in my mind there
is a stress thinking,

451
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,078
"Whoa. What if it
happens one day?"

452
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,720
So it's nice to leave.

453
00:29:29,798 --> 00:29:31,598
I suppose more rationally,

454
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,078
the longer you're in one place,

455
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,038
the more likelihood
of a pro-Russian

456
00:29:36,118 --> 00:29:38,880
passing on information
and a target happening.

457
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,759
So moving's always good.

458
00:29:41,838 --> 00:29:44,358
INTERVIEWER: Do you ever share
those thoughts with volunteers?

459
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,460
No, not useful.

460
00:29:47,432 --> 00:29:50,625
(Rumble of truck)

461
00:29:50,798 --> 00:29:51,920
(Rolling dice)

462
00:29:53,598 --> 00:29:55,200
FLORA: When you're
under the leadership

463
00:29:55,278 --> 00:29:57,880
of someone you feel
safe with like Tom,

464
00:29:58,358 --> 00:30:02,038
it's when people have
the confidence in that situation

465
00:30:02,118 --> 00:30:03,480
and you're under their care

466
00:30:03,558 --> 00:30:06,038
that you can feel
okay to keep going,

467
00:30:06,118 --> 00:30:07,558
keep doing what
you're there to do.

468
00:30:08,838 --> 00:30:11,680
Tom, are you on the E105?

469
00:30:13,558 --> 00:30:14,558
TOM: Uh yeah.

470
00:30:14,585 --> 00:30:15,942
(Radio crackles)

471
00:30:16,318 --> 00:30:17,838
Oh, he wants to get off.

472
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,598
IZZY: And the pressure that
must have put him under,

473
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,502
I can't imagine,
I can't imagine it,

474
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:26,720
but it definitely made us
feel safe as volunteers.

475
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,118
(Bomb explodes)

476
00:30:29,838 --> 00:30:31,358
NEWSREADER:
Zaporizhzhia authorities

477
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,920
say a Russian guided
bomb attack…

478
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
NEWSREADER 2:...injured in a
Russian air strike on a hotel

479
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,558
in the Ukrainian
city of Zaporizhzhia.

480
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,960
NARRATOR: Tom's fears
are not unfounded.

481
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,182
Their last hotel in Zaporizhzhia
was hit by a missile

482
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,640
the day before they
were due to arrive,

483
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,519
and it wasn't the first time.

484
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,480
(Peaceful piano music)

485
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,634
TOM: This was the first
hotel we ever stayed at

486
00:31:13,118 --> 00:31:15,000
the first time we
came to Zaporizhzhia

487
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,240
and this was all
a very beautiful

488
00:31:18,278 --> 00:31:21,078
riverside place to relax,

489
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,400
and got hit.

490
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,960
INTERVIEWER:
How many people were killed?

491
00:31:25,078 --> 00:31:27,400
TOM: I know the
receptionist died, Olga,

492
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,519
as she was a friend.

493
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,920
INTERVIEWER: What are
your memories of it, Audrey?

494
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,454
Yeah, it was the first
place we stayed in Zap

495
00:31:36,798 --> 00:31:39,565
and, like Tom said,

496
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:42,400
we used to have beers there and
then we would have breakfast.

497
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,519
You'd sort of walk out
the door and walk around

498
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,240
and have breakfast there

499
00:31:47,318 --> 00:31:49,440
and meet with the
whole team in the mornings

500
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:51,440
before we would leave for pizza.

501
00:31:52,318 --> 00:31:56,038
It was probably the first time
that shit got real, so to speak.

502
00:31:57,318 --> 00:31:58,680
INTERVIEWER:
Which was your room?

503
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,160
Sort of right over in there.

504
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,318
Remember we had a big pineapple
or something, a big fruit.

505
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,000
I don't remember a big fruit.

506
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,759
INTERVIEWER: What
do your family think about it?

507
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,640
My family are proud of me.

508
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,920
And support me
and all wish that I'd leave.

509
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,118
Your mom keeps an altar for you.

510
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:28,765
Back home.

511
00:32:29,598 --> 00:32:31,480
And a candle burning
for him all the time.

512
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,070
INTERVIEWER: Presumably having
each other's quite important?

513
00:32:36,038 --> 00:32:37,920
Yeah. It's um...

514
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:40,579
It's quite an intense place
to have a relationship.

515
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,259
I mean, it's 24/7,

516
00:32:42,558 --> 00:32:45,078
but yeah, the support's
pretty, pretty vital.

517
00:32:45,598 --> 00:32:46,613
Um...

518
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,880
INTERVIEWER: Perhaps you
wouldn't have a relationship

519
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,200
if it hadn't been so intense.

520
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,752
Possibly not.

521
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,720
(Peaceful piano music)

522
00:33:02,798 --> 00:33:05,000
NARRATOR: That same
day back in February,

523
00:33:05,078 --> 00:33:08,680
we went to make pizzas in
a village called Malakoterynivka

524
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,240
South of Zaporizhzhia.

525
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,960
There we were just nine
miles from the Russians.

526
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,318
(Turning on gas flame)

527
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,318
Of the 50 men who signed
up to fight from the village,

528
00:33:25,358 --> 00:33:26,680
20 have died.

529
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:33,960
(Peaceful piano music continues)

530
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,920
(Bomb explodes)

531
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,240
Step away from the pizza party

532
00:33:45,318 --> 00:33:48,000
and you can hear the constant
pounding of artillery.

533
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,776
(Distant thud of artillery)

534
00:33:49,838 --> 00:33:52,440
INTERVIEWER: Seems like
you're dodging bullets here.

535
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:54,118
TOM: Yeah, it's funny sometimes,

536
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,720
it feels like you're dodging
bullets incredibly well

537
00:33:56,798 --> 00:33:58,480
and you'll have a
whole run of weeks

538
00:33:58,519 --> 00:33:59,960
where the news
is just behind you.

539
00:34:00,558 --> 00:34:02,413
Then sometimes you
get really shitty runs,

540
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,318
where every night
it's incredibly loud

541
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,278
and you feel like you're in
the wrong place every day,

542
00:34:07,358 --> 00:34:09,920
which decision you make,
was just luck.

543
00:34:10,518 --> 00:34:17,793
(Peaceful piano music fades out)

544
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,360
NARRATOR: When the Russians
destroyed the Kakhovka Dam,

545
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,920
the lake disappeared,

546
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,079
leaving only dry land between
the village and the fighting.

547
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,719
Here it was Kakhovka Dam,
water is full there.

548
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:42,400
Just after three days,
it was everything dry.

549
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,639
And uh...

550
00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:48,079
Like Russian soldiers,

551
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:52,639
they're just like 15 kilometers
from here on another coast.

552
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,800
NARRATOR: Nina Yevtushenko is
the team's Ukrainian organizer.

553
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,280
Before the war,
she was a fashion model.

554
00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:04,920
Now she's an expert
in bombs and missiles.

555
00:35:05,518 --> 00:35:07,920
Cluster bomb, maybe,
maybe a cluster bomb.

556
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:11,639
Very strange that
now I understood

557
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,119
all types of rockets or bombs.

558
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:15,760
It's a very strange feeling.

559
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,920
You know, like before,
two years ago...

560
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:26,000
For me, like it was just one
type of rockets, just rockets.

561
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:27,159
(She laughs)

562
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Yeah, strange.

563
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,559
(Bomb explodes)

564
00:35:35,518 --> 00:35:36,840
NARRATOR: Remarkably, in a city

565
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,400
where bombs are
falling almost every day,

566
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,199
Nina has opened a new restaurant
specializing in Ukrainian food,

567
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,639
even hiring a top
chef from the capital.

568
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,159
(Nina speaks in Ukrainian)

569
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,414
(Peaceful piano music)

570
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,559
(Distant thud of artillery)

571
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,199
(Guitar playing)

572
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,039
# Well, I wanted to ramble
and always be free

573
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,320
# That was before I met you.

574
00:36:12,072 --> 00:36:17,672
# And I said that no man
could ever hold me

575
00:36:17,806 --> 00:36:20,445
# That was before I met you #

576
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:25,039
INTERVIEWER: You've got
a large pile of phones

577
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:26,135
in front of you.

578
00:36:26,342 --> 00:36:29,400
What are you trying
to accomplish?

579
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,320
Cybersecurity has
lately outdated

580
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719
the threat level of hacking.

581
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,199
It may come to pass that
they can hack your IMEI number

582
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,960
and see the origin of
your phone and your location,

583
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:44,344
so having 15 phones all
from the west in one place

584
00:36:44,385 --> 00:36:46,373
may become more
dangerous than it has been.

585
00:36:46,518 --> 00:36:50,320
So we've got 15
basic burner phones.

586
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:53,039
Which I'm starting to make work

587
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:57,000
so that everyone can be more
invisible while they're here.

588
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,864
Does anyone not know
where the bomb shelter is?

589
00:37:00,172 --> 00:37:01,635
The bomb shelter is
through the kitchen

590
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,081
in this reception room here,

591
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,400
straight through the kitchen,
past the microwave

592
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:06,909
and the stairs
down to the right.

593
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:08,880
If you hear a bang,
no questions.

594
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,563
You need to be downstairs
within a minute.

595
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,213
There are a lot
of people that aren't

596
00:37:13,237 --> 00:37:15,664
totally pro-Ukrainian around,

597
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,760
be aware of your own security
don't think everyone loves you -

598
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:25,467
Shall we go make some pizza?

599
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:33,480
(Children play)

600
00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:35,559
(Tom hums)

601
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:38,159
INTERVIEWER:
So what have we got here?

602
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,880
This is a particularly
nice bomb shelter,

603
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,719
the cultural regiment
renovated it.

604
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,704
Somewhere, early
Summer, late winter,

605
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:49,320
and it's now a really
nice learning space,

606
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,443
which is really rare because

607
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,760
under law, the
schools can't be open

608
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,079
if they haven't got a shelter.

609
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:55,559
This one does.

610
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:58,360
Ones that do around these
parts of the shelters are...

611
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:01,559
The alarms are on
80-90% of the time,

612
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,599
so all the kids are
spending all day

613
00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:06,800
in what's normally a dark,
dank Soviet basement.

614
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,199
This one's been done up,

615
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,880
and it's really good
in my opinion.

616
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,795
(Tom walks down steps)

617
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,059
(We are cool, we are hidden)

618
00:38:19,219 --> 00:38:21,793
It’s just an empty platform.

619
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:24,579
Everyone has
known for a long time

620
00:38:24,659 --> 00:38:30,300
that my home is
where Kherson is.

621
00:38:34,192 --> 00:38:37,552
It’s really hard,

622
00:38:37,619 --> 00:38:41,619
to think of those times.

623
00:38:43,099 --> 00:38:47,094
I even kept a diary
trying not to lose my mind.

624
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:53,920
Because people were in
such a desperate situation.

625
00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:57,900
It seemed fine at first,

626
00:38:57,980 --> 00:39:02,099
but when the troops
entered the village

627
00:39:02,179 --> 00:39:05,340
and started showing their
true colours, it was terrifying.

628
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,039
They cordoned off the school
and wouldn't let anyone in.

629
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:16,960
(She speaks in Ukrainian)

630
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,103
TRANSLATION APP ON PHONE:
We survived the occupation,

631
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:24,039
so there are still children
here who want to study.

632
00:39:25,518 --> 00:39:26,527
Well done.

633
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,320
(She speak in Ukrainian)

634
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,960
(She laughs)

635
00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:40,280
(Lively music and hubbub)

636
00:39:44,099 --> 00:39:46,981
For the village residents this

637
00:39:46,994 --> 00:39:50,659
event is like a
breath of fresh air,

638
00:39:50,739 --> 00:39:55,219
especially for the children.

639
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,980
The last time I saw my husband
was three months ago.

640
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,039
At the moment many men
are still defending our country,

641
00:40:04,059 --> 00:40:07,739
while sadly many others
are no longer with us.

642
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:12,500
Nevertheless, we stand together
and support each other.

643
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:21,333
(Peaceful piano music)

644
00:40:23,619 --> 00:40:29,659
Already in this community
nine men are dead,

645
00:40:29,739 --> 00:40:32,300
and eight more are missing.

646
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:39,400
And right now, more than 200 men
from the community are fighting,

647
00:40:39,425 --> 00:40:44,632
in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
and the National Guard.

648
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:52,152
(Peaceful piano music continues)

649
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,920
NARRATOR: Every village
you go to in Ukraine,

650
00:40:57,639 --> 00:40:59,119
you realize what's missing.

651
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,400
There are no men.

652
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:04,199
They've all gone to fight.

653
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:15,018
(Flag flutters in the wind)

654
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,920
IZZY: That boy's,
that boy's younger than me.

655
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:24,400
-Which one?
-That one, he's 2002.

656
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,161
FLORA: Just kind of
puts into perspective

657
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,039
how little we can
really understand.

658
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,719
And then just the open graves.

659
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,800
Whether they're already for
someone or they're just...

660
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,119
waiting.

661
00:41:50,039 --> 00:41:54,201
Everyone in that queue
will know someone here.

662
00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:56,920
And that's why you do it,

663
00:41:56,989 --> 00:42:03,032
to make things a tiny bit
lighter for them that day.

664
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:07,532
(Flags continue to flutter)

665
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,079
Um, I find this pretty
overwhelming. Don't you?

666
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,320
INTERVIEWER: Yeah.

667
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,719
I find it very sad and...

668
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,199
It makes me very angry too.

669
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,079
Don't you find it quite
hard to look into those faces?

670
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,039
I don't know where any
of my friends are buried.

671
00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:47,000
They just stop
answering their phones.

672
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:12,719
(Radio plays rap music)

673
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,760
NARRATOR: It’s a day off
from the charity for Tom.

674
00:43:19,039 --> 00:43:20,880
He's made a lot
of friends in this war,

675
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,920
and today we're taking
pizzas to one of them, Petro,

676
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:27,931
who commands a howitzer
platoon near Zaporizhzhia,

677
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,039
where it's too dangerous
to take volunteers.

678
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:34,219
INTERVIEWER: Can you
tell me where we're going?

679
00:43:34,472 --> 00:43:39,880
We're going to our howitzer
which is hiding in the bushes.

680
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,880
So there are the crew,
you can speak with them,

681
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:47,599
ask them everything you want.

682
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,039
I think guys will
answer you frequently.

683
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,840
TOM: Is everyone happy with
their face being on camera?

684
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,079
Yeah, it's okay, they're happy,
they're happy with it.

685
00:44:03,039 --> 00:44:05,166
(Car passes by
quickly on dusty road)

686
00:44:05,373 --> 00:44:07,333
NARRATOR: As we
get closer to the fighting,

687
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,320
we're about seven
miles away now,

688
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,719
we can see smoke from
the Russian artillery.

689
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,753
(Rap music continues)

690
00:44:18,039 --> 00:44:19,320
(Car boot opens)

691
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:21,320
(Dull thud of artillery)

692
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:31,599
(They greet each
other in Ukrainian)

693
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:39,239
(Bomb explodes)

694
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:46,065
(Rustling in forest)

695
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:50,259
(Bomb explodes)

696
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,159
(Petro speaks in Ukrainian)

697
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,719
PETRO: This is our baby.

698
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,719
(Petro laughs)

699
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,199
Now it's under reconstruction,

700
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,760
so it will operate very soon.

701
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,360
The main purpose
why we are here.

702
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:10,760
Uh...

703
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,599
Every day we are
not killing Russians,

704
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:18,760
we must say we think
we waste, waste a day.

705
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,239
(Bomb explodes)

706
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:25,800
INTERVIEWER: The noises we hear
over there, what's happening?

707
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,719
PETRO: The noise is...

708
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,893
Warfare.

709
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,599
There are active actions,

710
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:39,639
of enemy or maybe of our guys.

711
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,920
I can't say for sure,
but the noises we hear is war.

712
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,239
You can film how they live.

713
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,599
(Tom walks down stairs)

714
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:15,920
A little bit present for you.

715
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,039
(He chuckles)

716
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:18,440
One for you man, thank you.

717
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,800
-And one for you guys.
-Thanks, Petro.

718
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:22,920
INTERVIEWER: Thank you.

719
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Be careful, it's dirty.

720
00:46:26,559 --> 00:46:29,280
-I will keep flowers in there.
-Okay.

721
00:46:30,559 --> 00:46:31,679
(Guitar playing)

722
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,079
-Thank you for your time.
-TOM: Thank you for yours.

723
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,159
# Hey there, all you Russians,

724
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,518
# Ain't it time
that you all retire?

725
00:46:43,679 --> 00:46:45,280
# I've checked with Ukraine

726
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,599
# And it turns out that
your visas have expired

727
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:52,880
# We're all sick and tired
of your fucking bombs

728
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,880
# And we're all disgusted by
your sins and your wrongs

729
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,880
#Time to fuck off back
to where you belong

730
00:46:59,518 --> 00:47:04,440
# Fucking fucking motherfuckers
Fucking fucking motherfuckers

731
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,360
# Mr. Putin,
the whole world knows

732
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,559
# That you've been
a bit of a prick #

733
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:13,960
NARRATOR: Everywhere we stay,

734
00:47:14,039 --> 00:47:17,639
there's a weird contrast
between the cheery volunteers

735
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,960
and traumatized
and drunk soldiers

736
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,599
on a couple of days'
leave from the front line.

737
00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:26,219
-How is life?
-How is your life in the war?

738
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:28,539
Ours? Bad.

739
00:47:28,619 --> 00:47:31,260
They didn't give me anything.

740
00:47:31,340 --> 00:47:36,780
Six of my comrades
have died. Six.

741
00:47:38,380 --> 00:47:43,940
When I’m there I kill the
Russians. Destroy them.

742
00:47:48,099 --> 00:47:49,579
Twenty.

743
00:47:50,780 --> 00:47:52,179
I killed them.

744
00:47:52,518 --> 00:47:54,920
Killed the bastards.

745
00:47:56,619 --> 00:48:01,340
They have no honor or dignity.

746
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:09,139
They are just like animals.

747
00:48:10,639 --> 00:48:12,960
TOM: We meet the soldiers
quite regularly in these hotels

748
00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:14,840
who are having
their two weeks off.

749
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,440
Getting wildly drunk to hide
the pain and going back up.

750
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,480
Um...

751
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:22,440
For them it's yeah,

752
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:24,119
it's a half hour
drive and they're...

753
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:29,760
back at the meat grinder, and
yet here we sit, it's surreal.

754
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,800
The thing I think,
I find the hardest,

755
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:36,893
um...

756
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,079
is the ever-increasing
understanding

757
00:48:42,159 --> 00:48:45,800
of the vast silent tragedy,

758
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:50,000
that is a country at
war for its survival.

759
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:51,092
Um...

760
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,880
And you can't...

761
00:48:55,119 --> 00:48:58,920
quite grab it because
this is civilian life going on

762
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,480
and the coffee
machine's working.

763
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,800
But the longer you spend here,

764
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,039
the more you start to feel in
every single person you meet

765
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:12,599
the same weight of the
huge tragedy unfolding.

766
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:13,679
And...

767
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:17,559
my wonderful volunteers
can come in for two weeks

768
00:49:17,639 --> 00:49:19,840
and bounce and smile
and bounce out again

769
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,159
and have the most life-affirming
experience in the world.

770
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,260
And...

771
00:49:26,079 --> 00:49:28,559
And almost two and
a half years in, I am...

772
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,480
I just find it all...

773
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,840
terribly, terribly
futile and tragic.

774
00:49:36,518 --> 00:49:44,172
(Wistful piano music)

775
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,360
NEWSREADER: Fighting around
Pokrovsk has been intense.

776
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,960
Ukrainian forces drive the
occupying Russian army...

777
00:49:51,039 --> 00:49:54,400
NEWSREADER 2:...defensive
lines supporting this area...

778
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,480
NEWSREADER 3: More houses
here are completely destroyed.

779
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:00,559
(Soldier shouts in Ukrainian)

780
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,780
(Wistful music continues)

781
00:50:04,199 --> 00:50:06,239

(Wistful music continues)

785
00:50:31,639 --> 00:50:34,880
NARRATOR: As we travel further
south towards Nikolaev,

786
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,460
we pass through villages
that have been ripped apart

787
00:50:37,518 --> 00:50:38,539
in the fighting.

788
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,039
This is the cultural center
in Posad Prokrovske.

789
00:50:53,599 --> 00:51:00,599
(Peaceful piano music)

790
00:52:26,518 --> 00:52:28,440
(Bomb explodes)

791
00:52:28,518 --> 00:52:30,960
NEWSREADER: On the battlefield,
a Russian missile

792
00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:32,518
hit a children's playground

793
00:52:32,599 --> 00:52:35,239
in the Ukraine's southern
city of Mykolaiv on Friday,

794
00:52:35,599 --> 00:52:36,800
killing one child and...

795
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,472
INTERVIEWER:
Have you seen this before?

796
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:43,646
Yep.

797
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,960
Many, many times.

798
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,880
AUDREY: Trying to imagine like
what that was like being here,

799
00:52:58,159 --> 00:53:00,280
just being in this
kindergarten, in this place

800
00:53:00,326 --> 00:53:01,425
and all of a sudden,

801
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,760
all of these windows
breaking on you,

802
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,639
how scary that would be.

803
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:07,846
Especially for children.

804
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,880
You really get the sense that
everyone is working together.

805
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,559
I think it would be
a really nice thing

806
00:53:12,639 --> 00:53:15,280
if we could come
and do our part.

807
00:53:20,518 --> 00:53:25,313
(Tom makes pizza)

808
00:53:30,518 --> 00:53:32,679
TOM: A missile came
in here last night,

809
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,960
into the middle of this set
of residential buildings.

810
00:53:36,599 --> 00:53:38,960
Door behind me,
a young boy died.

811
00:53:39,039 --> 00:53:40,679
Uh, he was on his way home.

812
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,559
The gentleman up on the
balcony sweeping, his wife died.

813
00:53:44,599 --> 00:53:45,599
Um...

814
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:48,719
It's pretty amazing,
he's still trying to tidy up.

815
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:54,119
Gentleman with his top
off at the door is his son

816
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:56,719
who's come back from
the front line as a soldier.

817
00:53:57,518 --> 00:53:59,079
Because his mother's just died.

818
00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:00,193
Um...

819
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:03,079
It’s a bit overwhelming really.

820
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,599
(Sweeping debris)

821
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,400
TRANSLATOR: She's 82 years old.

822
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,280
The old lady was in her kitchen
sitting close by the window

823
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,800
and all frame just blew up

824
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,360
and thanks God
it didn't hit her.

825
00:54:30,672 --> 00:54:32,159
INTERVIEWER: How long
have they lived here?

826
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,280
(Translator and woman
speak Ukrainian)

827
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:36,760
TRANSLATOR: 53 years.

828
00:54:42,518 --> 00:54:44,000
(She speaks Ukrainian)

829
00:54:46,119 --> 00:54:48,559
TRANSLATOR APP: The main
thing is not to be discouraged.

830
00:54:48,679 --> 00:54:51,920
(They speak Ukrainian)

831
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:52,985
(She chuckles)

832
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,000
She went like this. Tough lady.

833
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:09,896
(Peaceful piano music)

834
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,639
INTERVIEWER: So you
were talking to a little girl.

835
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:33,960
How did that go?

836
00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:35,518
Yeah, um...

837
00:55:37,518 --> 00:55:40,440
That was a little,
I'd say 9 or 10 year old girl.

838
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,119
And then she said...

839
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,679
when you're here,
it's not scary.

840
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:49,679
It translated.

841
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,079
Which broke my heart really,

842
00:55:52,159 --> 00:55:54,239
because I'm only
there for a day.

843
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,480
But life's fucking scary
in there, every day,

844
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:01,610
um...

845
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,000
because the skies are not safe.

846
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,559
Quite a terrible thing
to hear from a child.

847
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:16,882
(Bulldozer drives by)

848
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,690
(Bomb explodes)

849
00:56:33,119 --> 00:56:34,880
NARRATOR: We've come
to meet Anna Skripka,

850
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,159
the team's
organizer in Mikolaiv.

851
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,960
Anna's job is to work out which
villages are safe to go to.

852
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:44,960
When the Russians came,

853
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:47,920
there was fighting just
50 meters from her house.

854
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,280
At this moment our friends
from Kherson was calling us

855
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,518
and said, "Anna, you have
the big force of Russians

856
00:56:59,599 --> 00:57:03,280
are going to Mykolaiv
from the side of Kherson,"

857
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,960
and we warned them, you know…

858
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:09,039
I cannot imagine the life
under occupation, so.

859
00:57:09,969 --> 00:57:11,000
(Man speaks in Ukrainian)

860
00:57:11,079 --> 00:57:12,400
Yeah.

861
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:13,840
But we're happy that,

862
00:57:14,518 --> 00:57:16,239
but we were very close to,

863
00:57:17,079 --> 00:57:19,679
to have our city under
occupation, very close to.

864
00:57:20,679 --> 00:57:21,719
Yeah.

865
00:57:22,039 --> 00:57:23,320
(Chickens cluck)

866
00:57:27,239 --> 00:57:31,320
He's grown about like 10 times
since she first got him.

867
00:57:32,159 --> 00:57:33,480
His name is Chippendale.

868
00:57:34,239 --> 00:57:35,920
When the Russians took Kherson,

869
00:57:37,039 --> 00:57:40,480
he was abandoned there,
put in some sort of a shelter,

870
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:42,280
and so Anna adopted him.

871
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,199
They, she calls him victory pig.

872
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,320
So the plan is that
she won't eat him

873
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,239
until Ukraine wins the war.

874
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:53,719
And even then, I think
she might not eat him.

875
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:54,920
I don't think so.

876
00:57:55,679 --> 00:57:57,320
But he does eat a lot of pizza.

877
00:57:57,735 --> 00:57:58,840
If you ever did eat him,

878
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,639
he would probably
just taste like a pizza.

879
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,998
(Tram passes by)

880
00:58:09,159 --> 00:58:11,159
TOM: Regarding our work,
it's more intense here.

881
00:58:11,239 --> 00:58:14,039
We're going into Kherson
every day for the next 10 days.

882
00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:16,280
Uh, it's about as
grown up as it gets.

883
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,518
It's been very heavily
occupied for a long time.

884
00:58:19,599 --> 00:58:21,800
People have had
a very, very bad time.

885
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,559
So our work's really important.

886
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:27,000
There are lots of booby traps,
there are lots of mines.

887
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:28,880
Once we're through
that checkpoint,

888
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,880
we have to drive
through the city,

889
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,960
which is well
within artillery range.

890
00:58:33,039 --> 00:58:35,599
We keep at least 100 meters
between each vehicle

891
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:38,280
so that if any
incoming does come,

892
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,800
we minimize the risk.

893
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,880
Each hour that passes, it
does get more dangerous

894
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,280
because there's more time
for people to pass on messages.

895
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,039
So there's no like hanging
around and chatting at the end.

896
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:51,840
When we're finished, we pack
up efficiently and we move on.

897
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,719
(Indistinct radio message)

898
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,480
TOM: Cool, we're
on the road, let's go.

899
00:58:56,639 --> 00:58:59,739
(Piano/electronic music)

900
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,079
INTERVIEWER: So the village
we're going to is um...

901
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,280
on the Russian side
of the defensive trench.

902
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,559
Yeah, this is the first line.

903
00:59:09,639 --> 00:59:12,880
There'll be at least two more
new defensive lines as we go in.

904
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,000
The village we're going to is
out to the east of all of them.

905
00:59:21,199 --> 00:59:24,840
I was there for the first
two days of Kherson

906
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,480
when we initially
came into the city.

907
00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:31,079
And they definitely stand out

908
00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:33,400
as some of the two
most intense days

909
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,559
of my entire time
with the charity, for sure.

910
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:38,199
TOM: That first field there,

911
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,559
the last of the shells that
came in at us that day,

912
00:59:41,639 --> 00:59:43,760
landed in that field.

913
00:59:50,679 --> 00:59:51,760
It's all a bit more real.

914
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,480
When we're going
through the checkpoint,

915
00:59:53,559 --> 00:59:57,800
we have to drive for 20 minutes
inside artillery range,

916
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,280
so we make sure we're never
ever gonna stop in there.

917
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,000
And once we're
through that checkpoint,

918
01:00:03,079 --> 01:00:05,400
I also become an
incredibly grumpy bastard.

919
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,119
(Peaceful piano music)

920
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,920
Okay, I'm, I've left
the checkpoint.

921
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,480
I'm parked a few
100 meters down the road.

922
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,639
Yeah, so I'm, I'm a few hundred
metres towards Mikolaiv.

923
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:23,119
Uh, they're saying five minutes,

924
01:00:23,199 --> 01:00:25,159
it's probably going to
be at least half an hour.

925
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,518
NARRATOR:
The soldiers at the checkpoint

926
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:33,400
just asked us to
park further away.

927
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,880
We've been told our trucks
make too tempting a target.

928
01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:40,320
Hey everybody,

929
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,760
the main reason for our delay
is the village we're going

930
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:44,480
got hit yesterday afternoon.

931
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:47,559
Um, the village
leader's on his way.

932
01:00:47,639 --> 01:00:48,960
I'm gonna have a chat with him.

933
01:00:49,039 --> 01:00:52,280
Uh, if a missile came in, then
we're gonna go and do our job.

934
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,760
If it came under
artillery bombardment,

935
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,599
I'm afraid we're
cancelling and going home.

936
01:00:56,679 --> 01:00:59,440
I think that's the case, but I'm
gonna talk to him first, okay?

937
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,159
MAN ON RADIO: Roger that.

938
01:01:05,039 --> 01:01:10,800
So basically, current shelling
range for Russian artillery

939
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,920
is like 20 to 25 clicks,

940
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,440
so we try not to go any closer
than that to the front line.

941
01:01:16,518 --> 01:01:19,199
And there seems to be
mixed messaging

942
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,599
as to whether this village was
hit with artillery yesterday.

943
01:01:23,119 --> 01:01:26,760
INTERVIEWER:
So, long range missile, we go,

944
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,760
artillery, we don't.

945
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:30,679
Exactly. Yeah.

946
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,800
They're honestly
both pretty dangerous.

947
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,172
Um, the difference is just that

948
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,360
you get a bit of a,

949
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,000
you get a forewarning
with a missile

950
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:41,199
and you don't with a shell.

951
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,440
You would just hear
the whizzing sound

952
01:01:43,518 --> 01:01:45,159
right before it makes impact.

953
01:01:46,639 --> 01:01:48,518
NARRATOR: Everyone
is getting nervous now.

954
01:01:49,239 --> 01:01:50,840
We've waited here for an hour.

955
01:01:51,518 --> 01:01:53,079
It's 40 degrees.

956
01:01:53,599 --> 01:01:55,679
And there are
Russian drones in the sky.

957
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,599
INTERVIEWER:
So, we have a resolution?

958
01:02:11,559 --> 01:02:13,239
Yes, we have a resolution.

959
01:02:14,159 --> 01:02:17,280
Our main contact from
military administration Yaroslav

960
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:18,920
came to meet
us at the checkpoint

961
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,159
who could bring us through.

962
01:02:20,679 --> 01:02:22,079
I said,

963
01:02:22,719 --> 01:02:24,480
the checkpoints saying
the village got hit

964
01:02:24,559 --> 01:02:26,000
by heavy artillery bombardment.

965
01:02:26,079 --> 01:02:27,639
If that's the case,
we're not doing it

966
01:02:27,719 --> 01:02:28,920
because we'll kill everyone.

967
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,679
He said, "Fair point."

968
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,597
We telephoned the
village leader who said,

969
01:02:33,639 --> 01:02:36,079
"No, we're 25 kilometers
from the border.

970
01:02:36,159 --> 01:02:38,079
It's not possible to be
hit by artillery here,

971
01:02:38,159 --> 01:02:39,760
and yesterday was
a very peaceful day."

972
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,360
So we're going in.

973
01:02:42,518 --> 01:02:43,880
Stressful start to the day.

974
01:02:50,599 --> 01:02:53,559
MAN ON RADIO:
There is a drone low flying

975
01:02:53,639 --> 01:02:55,960
on the left hand side.

976
01:02:58,706 --> 01:02:59,820
(Man on radio)

977
01:02:59,844 --> 01:03:00,900
Can you repeat?

978
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,539
There is a drone,
low flying, right side, over.

979
01:03:05,277 --> 01:03:06,893
I saw the pilots on the right,

980
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,800
they were Ukrainian
pilot launching a drone.

981
01:03:11,679 --> 01:03:13,559
Driving the road for
the first 20 minutes

982
01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:15,920
after that checkpoint
is fucking dangerous.

983
01:03:16,199 --> 01:03:19,887
(Drone buzzing)

984
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:23,039
NARRATOR: This is footage
from a Russian attack drone

985
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:25,960
as it closed in on a
Ukrainian army officer's car

986
01:03:26,039 --> 01:03:27,559
yesterday in Kherson.

987
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,760
At the last minute,
it changes course.

988
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,440
And hits
a humanitarian aid truck.

989
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,920
TOM: What happened
could happen to us.

990
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,360
It could have
happened yesterday.

991
01:03:47,239 --> 01:03:48,840
I mean, it's
always been the case.

992
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,159
We've always known

993
01:03:50,199 --> 01:03:51,719
there have been
lots of humanitarians

994
01:03:51,773 --> 01:03:53,373
killed by Russians in this war.

995
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,800
I guess as always,
it's just a bit more freaky

996
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,400
when you get confronted
with solid evidence.

997
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:07,440
(Peaceful piano music)

998
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:18,420
(Peaceful piano music continues)

999
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,039
AUDREY: This looks
like our kind of place.

1000
01:04:44,199 --> 01:04:45,199
ANNA: First location,

1001
01:04:45,239 --> 01:04:48,119
we planned to stop in
the middle of the village,

1002
01:04:48,239 --> 01:04:53,559
but there is an
open area, a lot of cars,

1003
01:04:53,585 --> 01:04:57,664
and probably it will be a nice
target for Russian drones,

1004
01:04:57,679 --> 01:05:00,920
so we decided to change
location behind the school

1005
01:05:01,119 --> 01:05:05,320
with a nice playing
area for children.

1006
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,880
And with benches where
we can also have a rest.

1007
01:05:09,679 --> 01:05:11,480
I don't feel that much safer

1008
01:05:11,559 --> 01:05:13,679
having moved
to a different part.

1009
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,518
It looks safer,

1010
01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:18,800
as safe as possible
during war in Ukraine.

1011
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,963
We cannot determine
any very safe place,

1012
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,639
but we can be close to.

1013
01:05:24,518 --> 01:05:26,840
The walls, you want
at least 10 centimeters.

1014
01:05:27,885 --> 01:05:30,360
It's just a bit stressful when
the locals say it would be fun

1015
01:05:30,393 --> 01:05:31,393
to go under the trees

1016
01:05:31,425 --> 01:05:33,143
because you're less
likely to get drones.

1017
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:36,159
But it's the same every day.

1018
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:39,760
INTERVIEWER: Is this
place particularly risky?

1019
01:05:40,518 --> 01:05:42,518
TOM: Just the same
risk level as yesterday.

1020
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:44,800
Just sucks when
people talk about it

1021
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,239
because it gets into your head.

1022
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,335
(Cleaning pizza oven)

1023
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,679
INTERVIEWER: That was
an exciting journey, Grant.

1024
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,239
Yes, a bit of an
exciting journey, yeah.

1025
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:00,405
That was fun.

1026
01:06:01,039 --> 01:06:04,400
Definitely the most smoke we've
seen in one place at one time.

1027
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,679
But, we made it safe and sound.

1028
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,320
We get to help out the people.

1029
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,599
I think this place
definitely needs it.

1030
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:24,362
(Ambient music)

1031
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:32,719
It's pretty fucking horrible

1032
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:37,719
knowing that there's 15 young,
passionate people

1033
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,599
helping in that square,

1034
01:06:40,719 --> 01:06:41,800
and I've put them there.

1035
01:06:45,199 --> 01:06:46,559
Then there's a few hundred

1036
01:06:46,639 --> 01:06:48,518
very hungry people
having a shit time

1037
01:06:48,599 --> 01:06:50,320
and I've put them
in that square as well.

1038
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:52,346
Then if it gets hit.

1039
01:06:54,239 --> 01:06:55,239
(He sighs)

1040
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:56,288
How do I live with it?

1041
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:57,355
(He laughs)

1042
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:01,840
Sorry I'm just
having a wobbly day.

1043
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:14,759
(Somber piano music)

1044
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:42,480
TOM: Home sweet home.

1045
01:07:43,518 --> 01:07:46,360
This is our apartment
in Zaporizhzhia,

1046
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,518
which has been under heavy fire
for the last sort of two weeks.

1047
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:51,639
I'm giving up this apartment

1048
01:07:51,719 --> 01:07:53,559
because it looks like
they're starting to try

1049
01:07:53,639 --> 01:07:55,518
and flatten the city
that we can't take.

1050
01:08:01,639 --> 01:08:04,199
INTERVIEWER: What memories
looking out of this window?

1051
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:05,304
Lots.

1052
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,719
Lots, watched lots of
bombs go in into that view.

1053
01:08:12,599 --> 01:08:14,880
Baking hot in the Summer
and full of swallows.

1054
01:08:16,359 --> 01:08:17,760
White and pristine
in the winter.

1055
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:23,760
(Tom exhales)

1056
01:08:38,238 --> 01:08:41,118
NARRATOR: The moment
we step outside the apartment,

1057
01:08:41,198 --> 01:08:43,760
(Bomb explodes)

1058
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,720
the missiles start exploding.

1059
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,600
I counted four
in less than an hour.

1060
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,920
Yet amazingly, this boy

1061
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,038
is still driving his toy
car in the town square.

1062
01:08:56,118 --> 01:09:03,707
(Sirens blare)

1063
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:21,689
(Peaceful piano music)

1064
01:09:27,198 --> 01:09:31,520
(Man on video
speaks in Ukrainian)

1065
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,118
MAN: Oh shit.

1066
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,520
NARRATOR: After two and
a half years of making pizzas,

1067
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,479
Audrey has found a new calling.

1068
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:49,078
Reporting on the
war from the front line.

1069
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,238
AUDREY: So we've
just been driving

1070
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:54,078
what feels like
150 miles an hour

1071
01:09:54,158 --> 01:09:55,600
and we just came
to a complete stop

1072
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,238
because we got word that
there's a reconnaissance drone

1073
01:09:58,319 --> 01:10:00,399
above the position
that we're headed to,

1074
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:01,920
and even just sitting here,

1075
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,359
you can see flashes
and big bangs in the distance,

1076
01:10:06,118 --> 01:10:09,038
much shelling all around where
we're gonna be headed to.

1077
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:13,514
(Truck drives by)

1078
01:10:21,279 --> 01:10:22,800
TOM: I can't carry on doing this

1079
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,479
because my mental
health's shattered

1080
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,960
and I just haven't got
anything left in me.

1081
01:10:30,279 --> 01:10:33,038
But I know so very
many people here

1082
01:10:33,118 --> 01:10:35,680
who don't have the luxury
of being able to walk out,

1083
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,359
because it's their home.

1084
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,600
I'm very ashamed to
be leaving them behind.

1085
01:10:47,118 --> 01:10:54,993
(Peaceful piano music)

1086
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:54,569
(Peaceful piano
music continues)
