INDOMITABLE
21 minutes / Sonia Lowman / UKRAINE
Narrated and executive produced by Sienna Miller with original music by Ben Harper, Indomitable tells the story of the emotional wounds of the war in Ukraine, centered on the besieged town of Chernihiv. There, at the country’s central neuropsychiatric hospital, hundreds of patients and staff rode out one of the worst chapters of the war, hunkered together in the basement for 37 days without power or heat. Their experience tells the larger story of the mental health crisis that Ukrainians will now face for years to come.
