#video#Ukraine ‘Suddenly I heard they commenced bombarding the airport. Of course, I was so frightened! So much! I dropped the hose, I dropped it all! I run for my life. Didn’t think about anything’. In 2014, Abbess Mikhail (Shevchenko) and her assistant Yulia suddenly found themselves in the centre of the battles for Donetsk airport. The militias fought Ukrainian forces, which had seized control. The main characters talk about their lives under shelling. So why didn't they leave the monastery? What tests awaited them? See the post. These shots are from the film Portaitissa of Donetsk, directed by Natalya Batraeva, who submitted it to the aRTel.doc dokkino competition.
