Now a soldier in the Ukrainian Special Forces, Yegor Troyanovsky first came across the story of Cuba and Alaska as a journalist covering the Russia-Ukraine war.
Best friends Cuba and Alaska, wisecracking medics on Ukraine’s frontline, live the same battlefield story as all soldiers: slowly losing connections with friends, family and their previous lives the longer they stand up for Ukraine. With war so deeply rooted in them, can the two ever go back to the life they used to know?
The screening will be followed by the Focus on Ukraine activity.
