8th Day of the War
How would you react if while living abroad, a war of aggression broke out in your home country and the media became saturated with a myriad of images of bombed homes, people fleeing, and tanks on the move? On the eighth day of the war, the Ukrainian diaspora in Prague is busy making arrangements: buses to deliver aid and bulletproof vests, safe accommodations, and escape routes. Eight cameras, five perspectives, one single day.
