November is coming to an end, and with it this year’s Travelling Docudays UA. In the final week of the festival, we will still have time to bring documentary film screenings and human rights discussions to one more area, the Zhytomyr Region! We will talk about our resilience, choice, and dignity, about the experiences lived by Ukrainian children, and about how profoundly the war changes each of us.

Together with our partners, NGO Modern Format, we are planning three days in Zhytomyr and Khoroshiv. We are presenting the open events in this concise digest.
