Kherson EMTs: Facing the Human Safari

Kherson EMTs: Facing the Human Safari

 

The documentary follows Shrek, a Ukrainian medic, and his small volunteer crew as they navigate Kherson’s streets under constant Russian FPV drone attack. Seen through Shrek’s own chest-mounted camera, the film captures the raw immediacy of their work: evacuating the wounded, retrieving the dead, and surviving the “double-tap” strikes that target rescuers as they arrive. Interwoven with field interviews and stark first-hand footage, the film exposes the deliberate targeting of civilians—what locals call a “human safari”—and the moral collapse it represents. Through the courage of Shrek’s team, it becomes not just a record of atrocities, but a testament to the endurance of those who choose to stay, to keep helping, and to keep Kherson alive.

Kyiv Under Siege

Kyiv Under Siege

Putin marked America’s Independence Day with 550 drones and missiles launched at Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
The terror lasted seven hours, causing significant damage and at least one death. The assault came just hours after a phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump. The air became so toxic that children had to be evacuated from the city.

This may well foreshadow the future for Europe and even the United States, as Putin works to reverse the American-led world order.

Please share this message with your family and friends. Then, call or email your representative and both senators to express your strong support for Ukraine. Ask them to:

  1. Reestablish military aid to Ukraine and provide air defense
  2. Support House Resolution 2548
  3. Support the Sanctioning Russia Act, introduced in the Senate by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham

This Senate bill proposes a 500% tariff on goods and services from any country that knowingly trades in Russian gas, oil, natural gas, uranium, or other petrochemicals originating from Russia.

About 84 senators have already cosponsored the bill, enough to override a presidential veto.

  • If your senator is among them, please call to say thank you
  • Also, check whether your House representative has cosponsored the parallel bill in the House

Find your representative here: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member.

You can use the following one-minute script: “My name is______________.  I am your constituent from_________ (city/town), zipcode_________.

It is very important to me that the United States continues to support Ukraine. Ukraine needs the weapons and control of its airspace to defend its sovereign borders, as America and the United Kingdom assured it in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.  If you have cosponsored the Sanctioning Russia Act (in the House of Representatives, it is HR 2548), thank you, and please make sure it passes the floor vote. If you have not, please do so today. U.S. support for Ukraine benefits not only Ukraine but also contributes to American national security. Thank you. “

Thank you!

Slava Ukraini!

Bogdan was very excited to receive the woodburning stove, as this winter has been especially cold in their home. Just last week, his wife gave birth to their third child, and he knows how important it is to keep their home warm for the baby and the whole family.

Vita was very grateful for this wood-burning stove, as she often couldn’t cook due to a lack of gas or electricity. Now, she no longer has to worry about how she will prepare food for her family.

We were deeply moved when we arrived to install a stove for Ludmila. Her home is in poor condition, and she lives in a part of the city that is constantly under shelling. Despite everything, she remains strong in spirit—she laughs, stays hopeful, and looks forward to better days. She told us that with this stove, she’s no longer afraid of the cold or power outages
