Ep 2: There’s a Weapon in Your Pocket

Fighting back with the weapons we all carry in our pockets…our smart phones. We begin in Kyiv with Anastasiya at the country’s largest children’s hospital and Andriy Dubchak from @Donbas.Frontliner. Both Anastasiya and Andriy use their phones to capture different aspects of the conflict. Anastasiya shares images of civilians wounded by the war, while Andriy is on the frontlines capturing the conflict up close. In Lviv, we meet with young hackers bringing the experiences of war to everyday Russians through cyberspace…and dick pics.
