Details
Codenamed Cuba and Alaska, two female field medics serve on the frontlines of the Ukrainian conflict, navigating the absurdity of war with grit, humour and friendship.
Mostly comprising footage from phones and GoPro cameras attached to their helmets and chests, the film offers rare access to the medics’ daily lives, their reliance on each other and a testament to the camaraderie required to survive in this world.
A raw and powerful film fueled by Cuba’s enormously contagious laughter and Alaska’s dark black humour, the two best friends face down the unknown together with a warrior fierceness befitting Thelma & Louise.
The screening on Tuesday 27th January will be followed by a Q&A with director Yegor Troyanovsky and special guests, via Zoom.
The screening will be Open Captioned and a British Sign Language interpreter will be visible on stage throughout the Q&A.
In this joint curation between Bertha DocHouse and Sheffield DocFest, audiences are invited to discover the gems, highlights and new voices in non-fiction cinema which premiered in the past festival edition.
