Every member of this family - a single mother Anna and her four children - has a passion for cinema, motivating them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during a time of war. In the front-line war zone of Donbas, Ukraine, where bombings and chaos prevail, filming helped to turn their home into a haven full of life and light.

NEZLAMNA.

What does it mean? Nezlamna is a unique Ukrainian word meaning invincible, unbreakable, resilient. The word has taken on a special meaning for millions of Ukrainians since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Photo project "NEZLAMNA"

Trafalgar Girls presents the photo project to chronicle the lives of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances -18 Ukrainian refugees in the UK, who embody their nation’s invincibility. In photos many of the women are shown holding flowers – symbols of fragile beauty that can show remarkable resilience and strength.

Read the true stories of those who have made their new home in the UK.

The project is dedicated to all of Ukraine’s nezlamna women, whether they reached safety abroad, stayed at home, or left for the front line to defend their country, people, and way of life.
