Filmed over three and a half years on Ukraine’s front lines, Brace For Oblivion follows seven ordinary citizens who volunteered to defend their country immediately after Russia’s invasion. Often filmed under fire, with sustained access to Ukraine’s volatile combat zones, filmmaker Xackery Irving explores what happens to the body, mind and soul when everyday life becomes a form of survival.
