The 1-hour documentary, a sequel to ELYSIAN Production’s 2023 nine-time international award-winning documentary, Fight for Ukraine: 12 Women’s War, was inspired by a dramatic mural in Kyiv of three pairs of hands – a male soldier’s enfolding a woman’s hands, which in turn are protecting a child’s.

Filmed in various locations across Ukraine, Executive Producer and Director Karen Floyd’s project marks a dark moment in history but also focuses on a message of peace and a desire for hope on the second anniversary of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Following the screening, a reception took place at the National Guard Association of the United States, where Dr. Christina Rahm also held a signing for her new book, Roots of Military Science: Understanding the intersection of conflict, mental health and wellness.
