docUNight: Big Water
September 12 @ 17:30 - 20:30
Join us for a docUNight in UN City Copenhagen, featuring a screening of the documentary ‘Big Water‘ – a film capturing the realities and narratives of those being/operating in Ukraine and conflict zones.
The documentary film ‘Big Water’ spotlights the tireless efforts of the Environmental State Service representatives in Ukraine to document the aftermath of the Kakhovka dam explosion and the scale of the damages.
It follows several key figures who retrieve bodies of the dead from the floodwaters, sail through dangerous water to collect potentially poisonous water samples and ensure that residents have access to drinking water.
The documentary delves into the personal and professional struggles of those who are not only tasked with uncovering the truth but are also victims of the disaster themselves.
Date: Thursday, 12 September 17:30-20:30 CEST
Location: UN City, Copenhagen, Marmorvej 51, Copenhagen
Refreshments will be available for purchase.
