In 769 km, New York
Ukraine2025documentary15'Short Film Competition
A distance of 769 kilometres is what separates a bakery in Kyiv from New York, an occupied town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. This is where bread baked by people with intellectual disabilities ends up. Although they struggle with their own difficulties, their work saves people in the east of the country, in war-torn areas cut off from supplies. The bakery is a refuge where they can become part of a larger community, which empowers them. In wartime, there is no room for labels or social divisions – only actions matter.
