Tips to survive while evacuating civilians in a drone war like Russia's invasion⛑️ 1️⃣Don't slow down 2️⃣Look for cover anywhere you go 3️⃣Don't rely on being marked as aid workers 4️⃣Make as much noise as possible to be heard 5️⃣Stay no longer than you must 6️⃣Do not debate civilians

Despite immense risks taken by aid workers to get in and out of frontline cities like Kostiantynivka, some locals choose to stay as the war tears through their neighborhood. Tension arises when their families ask aid workers to risk their lives evacuating people that won't leave.

After failing to evacuate an elderly man in Kostiantynivka due to his passing, a young local man met us outside. The conversation quickly turned to why he won't leave the frontline city, speaking of the struggles went though to make ones home and how memories can't be rebuilt.

New video out documenting the risks that aid workers take while trying to evacuate the civilians who are endangered by the creeping frontline of the war in Ukraine. This video focuses on Eugene's work, and the ways in which evacuation attempts can tragically fail.

The city of Kostiantynivka faces apocalypse. Every home is being destroyed by 24/7 shelling of the city. Despite frequent Russian drones attacks, targeted aid vehicles, and repeated failed evacuations, they keep going. Pulling whoever they can away from the frontline under fire.

Russian leadership speak paternally of Odesa, but the city itself feels pain from bombing like other Ukrainian cities do. Targeting military positions, critical port infrastructure, energy substations, and bombing civilian apartment blocks. Air defense teams do what they can.

While filming our documentary "One Year on the Kostyantynivka Frontline" we navigated on foot through the drone and airstrike dominated streets of Druzhkivka. This helmet cam footage was taken by men in the 44th separate mechanized brigade who guided us around the embattled city.

In Kherson, snuggled between two buildings, away from sights of the war, is an art cooperative. Here local Kherson artists are able to express themselves and display their art projects. Beautiful landscapes and social commentary on the war exist between surrealist art.

Ukrainian sailor Ilya talks about how the recent air defense shortage has affected his work as part of a naval anti-drone crew. The re-directing and cutting off of American air defense supplies to Ukraine has had a measurable impact as Russia expands its air war against Ukraine.

Hey everyone- today we just released a new documentary about Ukraine's Navy and it's defense of the skies and shores of crucial port city of Odesa. I think it offers a unique look into one of the more overlooked fronts of the war, and I would love for ya'll to check it out!

New documentary on how Ukraine's navy continues to fight, despite the occupation of 80% of Kyiv's shoreline. Odesa is a lifeline for Ukraine's economy, which has made the city a centerpiece of Russia's air war. Moscow wants to control the city, and haven't forgotten about it.

I cannot properly express the disgust I felt while listening to stories from elderly tenants and families with small children who are poisoned by their landlords. Corruption in Baltimore are selling off the health of children to cut corners and make a quick buck. My documentary about it is out now.

Released a new article w/OffBeatResearch. I interview an infantry commander with the 100th Mechanized brigade defending the city of Kostiantynivka. They fight on one of the hottest axis on the front, where no one wants to go, as Russia attempts to push through Ukrainian positions towards Kramatorsk.

At the center of ICE activity in Minneapolis, the Whipple Building, most of the protestors had already left. That is when the cavalry arrived. Local police sent to disperse the crowd which had come to send Jake Lang home. After those gathered didn't disperse, they were charged, arrested.

Jake Lang, a J 6th insurrectionist who swung a bat at capital officers, came back to Minneapolis. His second visit since fleeing after getting attacked by protestors while attempting to burn a Quran. This time, he opted to do a "press conference" drive by as he was swarmed to the song ICE ICE baby.

The coalition against ICE in Minnesota is a big tent. Liberals, conservatives, socialists, libertarians, and those who desire to just grill and be left alone. It helped that this protest had no leader. But just posting a graphic online is enough to get the city on the streets when you have momentum.

As ICE performed immigration raids, or drove about Minneapolis, locals would often greet them with whistles warning neighbors of their presence. This shrill screeching was punctuated with insults, anger, comparisons to the FSB, and demands to leave the neighborhood from their own front doorstep.

There is often little rest for ICE agents in Minneapolis. Trumpets blare, horns scream, whistles shriek, while pots and pans bang about. Noise protests do their best to keep ICE awake so they aren't able to get comfortable. Once dispersed, they find the next hotel, and repeat.

ICE agents outside a courthouse park illegally before being confronted by parking enforcement and leaving. ICE often waits outside of courthouses to detain those leaving their immigration cases. Could locals treat the law like ICE agents do? Whether its traffic law, or an officer involved shooting.

While filming outside the Whipple building, the central node of ICE activity in Minnesota, I met Tom. A veteran, union worker, and self proclaimed "Nazi Hunter". He yelled vulgarities at whoever left or entered federal property. Note: This is my favorite interview of the whole film.

My documentary, "ICE Fishing in Minneapolis" filming ICE activity during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota is out! A model that may soon be repeated in other cities. Includes interviews with local media, pro-ICE media, and angry locals. As well as Jake Lang's last attempt to "take back" the city.

I embedded with the 59th Mechanized Brigades "Shkval" battalion, made up of volunteer recruited from the Ukrainian prison system. These convicted criminals are given a choice of waving the remainder of your time behind bars in exchange for military service until the wars end.

Zoya, a Kherson local, was attacked by a grenade dropping drone while trying to get medication from the pharmacy. She was wounded, and pulled to safety by local police. Sent for treatment for her wounds, she retells her story of her experience with the "Human Safari".

The combat engineers I was embedded with in Kherson showed me a downed FPV drone that was strapped with explosive and shrapnel. These types of drones regularly hunt and stalk the city streets of Kherson, becoming a feature of the "Human Safari" as it has become popularly known.

Excavators are used to dig trenches for infantry to burrow in as shells fly overhead, which would otherwise take much more time and manpower to dig. Ukrainian engineers are not saved from the dangers of the invasion while building fortifications. Drones hunt them all the same.

Across occupied Ukraine, Baptist congregations have had their churches shut down while their pastors are viewed with suspicion. This has led to instances of persecution for the Christian denomination that doesn't follow the religious doctrines favored by the state.

A local store clerk in Kherson talks about the experience of having mortars bomb the area around her shop, and her belief that is it connected to them flying a Ukrainian flag outside their shop.

In the Ukrainian city of Kherson there is a hunt for any signs of life. A "Human Safari" where grenade dropping and FPV drones attack soldiers, civilians, city workers, ambulance crews, all who found themselves on the city streets. I went to Kherson, to document these attacks. Now free on Youtube!

Got my draft back for my documentary on the "Human Safari" in Kherson. No stream, checking for revisions. First film I've have made with a 100% original soundtrack, worked with folk and electronic musicians to get it right. Working on sound design has been really enjoyable🎵
