Mothers & Children Escaping Ukraine War
When Russia invaded Ukraine, our screens were filled with bombs and destruction. What about the millions of fleeing mothers and children? Seven days after the war began, I headed to the Ukraine-Polish border to capture their story.
When I arrived in Poland, 700,000 Ukrainians had fled to their supportive neighbor. 12 days later, when I began editing this video, the number of refugees in Poland had swelled to 1.7 million. It’s the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. AND, a year later, over 8 million have been displaced from their homeland.
BUT, numbers don’t define a humanitarian crisis…humans do. That’s why I made the trek. This video is an excerpt from the short film, "Flight or Fight: Crisis in Ukraine". It was shot in the Budomierz Refugee Aid Camp, on the Ukraine-Polish border.
