THE ARC. HOW TO SURVIVE WHEN YOU ARE BEING KILLED?

All of them were neighbors, but didn’t know each other. 40 people of different ages, professions, social status and views — the Russian occupation in the spring 2022 gathered them all in one abandoned house in Hostomel. They had been spending 17 days there without light, heat, communication, food, and water. Their only task was to survive.

They did it. But what have they to go through? What have they experienced and how have they changed? What did they understand about themself, others, life and death? And what helped this particular group to stay alive?

Their experience is a kind of survival manual, an answer to the question HOW TO SURVIVE WHEN YOU ARE BEING KILLED?
