Ukraine: Unbroken
Women tell their stories of captivity in Eastern Ukraine.
This documentary trilogy tells the story of three female Ukrainian former prisoners-of-war who were held captive in the country’s east by paramilitary groups.
Financed in part by IWPR, the series allowed these women from war-affected Ukraine to tell their own stories and highlight the wider effect of conflict on a community.
Thousands of people may have been taken captive by separatist militia since the conflict began in 2014, including about 100 Ukrainian women.
