At least 15 apartments are on fire in Kharkiv, and at least one person has died. In different locations, people may be under the rubble after a Russian strike. This is pure terrorism. Hello, world???
During the Russian invasion, Yurii reinvented himself as a streetwear designer. With his brother and friends, he built a fashion brand with a patriotic twist, using the proceeds to support his community.

One final appeal from our executive producer: “It’s one thing to make a film about resilience. It’s another thing to bring it back to the people who are the story.”

Two weeks, two weeks, two weeks...

It’s like a "three-day special military operation", only a "two-week special peace deal".

Even as air raid alerts and bombings punctuated their days, Kharkiv schoolkids found a space for grace and beauty in their elegant prom waltz.

When it comes to #Ukraine, sounds like #newpope > old pope. Good to see #popeleoxiv come out with these strong words on the #russianinvasion.
Pope Leo XIV calls Russia’s war against Ukraine “imperialist invasion”

Filming in a conflict zone comes with many challenges… some expected, and some not so much. All we can say is, it’s a good thing military trainers have a lot of patience.

Some of the most dangerous civilian jobs are documenting the war itself. Camera crews risk their lives to bring us the truth on the ground. In this clip, Roman Buchko, our director of photography, describes his experience shooting in #Kharkiv.

A good portion of Creative Force was shot in #Lviv🇺🇦, and it’s the hometown of many citizens we follow in the film. Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi shared with us what makes the city so special, and how he has responded to the continued war.

What does it mean when Vladimir Putin says he wants to “de-nazify” Ukraine? Professor Taras Tymo explains the underlying meaning of this incendiary term, and how Russia’s autocratic leader is attempting to discredit Ukraine’s national identity.

Fun fact we learned while filming: Ukraine loves cats. But due to the war, there are strays everywhere. Locals are stepping up to take care of them, and the folks we followed made special stops to care for the feline friends shown here.
