Okhmatdyt

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, hundreds of children have been killed and injured. Located in the heart of Kyiv, Okhmatdyt is Ukraine's largest children's hospital. Its heroic team continues to treat patients across the country that have endured combat wounds and war trauma. This documentary short highlights the reality of Russia's senseless war and its impact on Ukrainian children.

2024 Update: After the release of this documentary, Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital was directly hit by a Russian missile, causing deaths—including hospital staff—and injuring patients and others. The Russian Federation’s attack on the hospital drew widespread condemnation, with many labeling it not only a war crime but an act far beyond the limits of humanity.
