More about “Cuba & Alaska”
The documentary is exploring lives before, during and after the war
Two young paramedic women, Cuba and Alaska, live on the edge in the war-torn Kharkiv region – their mission is to save lives. Like nature, they fill the grey stone jungle of the region, affected by war, like ice and flame. Risking their lives daily, the young women share their professionalism, dreams, good humour, and belief in victory.
