Sydney band Breathe. have released a powerful new documentary following their unforgettable journey to Ukraine.
Ukraine has been home to one of breathe.’s biggest audiences since they launched in 2018, and since the start of the full-scale invasion, their music has reached people in bomb shelters and on the front line.
In July this year, they decided it was time to show up in person. They travelled to Ukraine to play two fundraising shows, and on the night before their Kviv show, sheltered through one of the largest missile attacks on Kyiv since russia’s invasion began.
“We had heard about Ukraine through headlines about missiles, drones, and destruction. What we found there was life, culture, community, and an extraordinary determination to protect it all.”
They came home “feeling a responsibility to share the stories people trusted us with,” and this documentary is how they’ve honoured that trust.
Featured on ABC’s @7.30 and a highlight of Ukrainian Council of NSW – ОУГ НПВ‘s Independence Day celebrations at North Bondi RSL Club, these inspiring young men have well and truly become our own. Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations and Ukrainian Council of NSW are proud to support breathe. as they plan their return to Ukraine next March.
A huge thank you to Ukrainian Women’s Association Australia Mriya branch, Uki Shtuky and Tata Cookies for keeping everyone well fed at the launch with delicious food and biscuits!
