Two Ukrainian documentaries were screened within the Travelling Docudays UA-2022 on 17 December in Marburg, Germany. The event took place thanks to the NGO Kultprojektor in partnership with BRUKS, a student initiative of the Philipps University of Marburg.

The audience from Germany and Ukraine watched the films Fortress Mariupol. Orest directed by Yulia Gontaruk, and Liturgy Of Anti-Tank Obstacles by Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk. Everyone who stayed for the discussion after the screening spoke about the pain, hope, and creativity of Ukrainians, as well as about Ukraine's victory in a full-scale war with Russia.
