The war in Ukraine is the biggest in Europe since World War II. Millions of children have been forced to leave their homes to escape the fighting, but many others couldn’t or didn’t. Hearing from just some of those who are living through war, this film lets the children caught in the conflict tell their stories, in their own words.

Covering fear, loss, strength and hope, the children detail the life-changing events of the war and the impact it is having on their day-to-day life.
