    411. Safe Unsound - Exploring a Film Following the Lives & Challenges of Displaced Ukrainians in Ireland.

    Safe Unsound | Documentary
    What is Safe Unsound about? Three Ukrainian families find a foothold in a
    remote corner of Ireland. How temporary is their life there? No one
    knows.

    ----------

    In Spring 2022, the plight of Ukraine and its people was at the
    forefront of our minds and we opened our arms to them. Today, 6 million
    displaced Ukrainians face a souring of that mood, and Moscow is poised
    to take advantage the moment our emotional fatigue kicks in. Safe
    Unsound is a story about the human cost of war told from the perspective
    of three Ukrainian families containing three generations. In County
    Mayo, in Ireland, where they moved after the invasion of their country,
    they are far from the frontline, and very far from home.

    Victor and his wife Ludmilla imagined spending their retirement eating
    apples in their orchard, not learning English in an abandoned
    schoolhouse in Castlebar. Kate planned to learn to dance, not leave her
    law career and husband in Kyiv to work day and night to rebuild a life
    for her young children in the countryside. Maryna hoped to support her
    four kids and help them thrive, not keep the peace at home while her
    eldest daughter, Arina, works to make ends meet.

    This film explores these families' efforts to contribute to, and fit
    into, Irish society as well as their tireless quest for control,
    momentum, and independence.

    you may know him better as one of the most prominent voices on YouTube

    military experience to his detailed analysis of the unfolding conflict.
