As the grandson of Ukrainian migrants, Melbourne filmmaker Stefan Bugryn has spent the last few years playing close attention to the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
One story he read online — about a woman whose son had passed away in the conflict, motivating her to join the resistance herself — struck a particular chord.
.At that point, I decided I had to go over there and find out for myself what.s happening,. he told If. .
In July, Bugryn.went over to Ukraine on a 10 day fact-finding mission to see what was happening on the ground. Due to a language mixup, he inadvertently ended up at the frontline for a night.
.Thank god it was a very quiet time when I went there, I think there was next to no fighting at all.
