"This topic is not just important, it is vital": the screening of the film Unseen took place in Berdyansk

27 October 2021

During the Travelling Docudays UA in Berdyansk, the film Unseen directed by Maia Martinyak was screened. After the screening, the audience joined the discussion, which was moderated by human rights coaches Larysa Kolomiyets and Oleh Okhredko.


The film Unseen tells the stories of three young women from different countries, who are united by childbirth experience. Showing real births, the film reveals the real face of trauma and the unseen reality for society. The screening of the film at the Travelling Docudays UA took place in connection with the All-Ukrainian campaign of the NGO "Docudays" entitled "Together for a safe birth!".


After the screening, participants discussed the problems that arise during childbirth and shared thoughts and memories from their lives. Besides, the issues of human rights, parents and children, during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period were considered. The participants discussed the issues of advocacy campaigns in the city and, traditionally for this year's Travelling Docudays UA, visually portrayed their impressions of the film.


One of the participants of the discussion noted, “This film should be shown on TV, in hospitals and medical institutions. This topic is not just important, it is vital." Another viewer noted that the format of film screening and discussion with human rights experts leads to a broader understanding of the problem and provides an opportunity to take a fresh look at the issue.
