當國家成為烽火連連的戰場,媒體的命運會有什麼改變?本片跟拍烏克蘭公共廣播公司(Suspilne) 的記者在戰爭現場為公眾報導,然而與此同時,記者的家人和朋友卻身處險境。當戰爭的無謂死亡和破壞就發生在自己家門口,他們該如何保持新聞的客觀性?
"How does life as a journalist change when your own country becomes a war zone? Even as Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, came under heavy shelling, the national public broadcaster Suspilne stayed on air, operating in a makeshift bunker studio.
What the interviews reveal in this documentary is the reality of Russian propaganda and a media outlet's struggle to remain independent of state power in wartime. We follow Suspilne's reporters on the ground as they strive to bear witness to the horrors of war and keep the public informed while their own families and friends are in danger. How do they maintain journalistic objectivity when the mindless death and destruction of war is right on their own doorstep?
