with post-film Q&A with director Lesia Kordonets in-person

With the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Ukrainian Paralympic National Team loses their training base overnight. The film follows the team’s fight to qualify for the upcoming games under poor training conditions. As borders shift and their personal and professional lives are displaced, the athletes must push beyond not only physical limits but the weight of political turmoil. (Ukraine/Switzerland, 2021, 102min., In Ukrainian & English | Dir. Lesia Kordonets)
