War photographer David Pratt heads to Ukraine to cover the conflict.

Veteran photojournalist David Pratt travels to Ukraine after war breaks out. His goal: to bear witness to the biggest unfolding crisis in Europe since World War Two.

In March 2022, with Russian tanks still surrounding Kyiv, veteran photojournalist David Pratt travels to Ukraine along with documentary maker Robbie Fraser. Their intention: to bear witness to the biggest unfolding crisis in Europe since World War Two. 

In part one, after crossing the Polish-Ukrainian border against a tide of refugees, David travels to the western city of Lviv. The city is tense but relatively peaceful. Buildings and monuments are covered up against attack. 

In an archive section, David tells the story of the first three weeks of the war, and of President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

Lviv train station is jammed with refugees. Outside the station we meet Alina, a refugee from Melitopol who has fled with a young baby. As David is walking outside the station an air raid siren sounds. David reflects on the conflict, and the fact that scenes like this have not been seen in Europe since the Balkan Wars.
