After the screening, there will be a discussion with the creators and protagonists.
A Tragic Event
On June 6, 2023, Russian forces detonated the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Plant dam. Thousands of cubic meters of water from the Kakhovka Reservoir flooded dozens of villages and towns, prompting government-mandated evacuations. Tsyhyma and Mamonova documented the relentless efforts of State Environmental Inspectorate representatives in Kherson, who gathered evidence of this war crime.
