$Screening of a documentary film by The Kyiv Independent \u2013 The Hague$

Join the screening of the Kyiv Independent's documentary film, “Can You Hear Me? The Invisible Battles of Ukrainian Military Medics,” on March 17, 2025. The screening will take place at 16:00 at Filmhuis Den Haag, Spui 191, 2511 BN Den Haag, Netherlands
The film’s authors Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko followed a group of Ukrainian military medics as they journeyed from the heat of battle in war-torn Ukraine to the serene forests of Sweden for a short mental health retreat. As they find themselves in a peaceful, quiet environment in Sweden for the first time since 2022, the medics have a chance to process the accumulated trauma, opening up about losing brothers-in-arms, surviving Russian captivity, and the inescapable feeling of guilt for not being able to save some of the soldiers they treated.
The film will be screened in Ukrainian with English subtitles, followed by a discussion with the film's authors in English. Entry is free but requires prior registration. Since seating is limited, please expect a confirmation email after your registration.
