2022-2023 European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) commissioned five compelling documentaries of Ukrainian refugee families with disabled children as they navigate an uncertain world, brought together by their shared strength and the compassionate organizations that stand by them in Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Republic of Moldova

“Unseen Resilience: Journeys Beyond Borders” is an emotional and eye-opening documentary that compiles five distinct stories from the lives of Ukrainian refugee families with disabled children who have sought refuge in Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Republic of Moldova. Each narrative explores their lives, their trials, their tribulations, and their triumphs. The film takes you inside their world, showcasing their resilience and strength as they cope with the adversity and displacement brought about by war. Simultaneously, it highlights the invaluable work of local organizations providing these families with not just physical support in terms of food, housing, and medical attention but also much-needed emotional and psychological assistance. The documentary is a testament to human endurance, compassion, and the power of unity in overcoming the harshest of adversities, serving as a powerful call to action for all viewers.
