To say that Ukraine today is the very inflamed part of the world is no exaggeration. Every single day, billions of people are struggling for the right to live in a free and peaceful country. Our brave soldiers, medics, volunteers, volunteer fighters, all Ukrainians in general, who unhesitatingly defend their motherland from Russian invaders, impressed the whole world with their fearless resistance. We must protect our home in any possible way, fight to the finish - and win. The war changed all of us forever, and the world should know the history of these transformations.
Ukrainian director and cinematographer Oleg Tolmachov have created a cycle of exclusive documentaries about ordinary people affected by the war in Ukraine. The first episodes are dedicated to residents of Kyiv, Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, and the Chernihiv region, who told about their struggles during the events of the occupation. They have different stories but share the same goal - victory.

Episode 1. Nastya, Irpin. Ukraine. April 2022
It seems that a photo of 20-year-old zoo activist Nastya Tykha went all over the world. She rescued 15 stray dogs from the engulfed in flames city of Irpin. This photo became a symbol of strength and infinite humanity of Ukrainians, who care about close ones, even when risking their own lives.
Together with our volunteers, Nastya has visited Irpin several times more to save abandoned animals. Creators of The Face of Resistance filmed one of these trips, so it became the basis of the first episode of the project.
