There's a moment in Ivan Sautkin's new documentary, 'A Poem for Little People,' where a humanitarian volunteer tries to reason with women filling cans with grimy water in Bakhmut, Ukraine, amidst explosions and peril, showing the difficult decisions residents face.
The documentary depicts the poignant choices between staying in a beloved but dangerous place or leaving everything behind, as evacuees from Bakhmut experienced the complete destruction of their city by Russian bombing before its occupation.
Sautkin, the documentary maker, emphasizes the emotional value of home and the weight of deciding to abandon familiar surroundings, portraying the significant impact on individuals as they are forced to leave amidst conflict and destruction.
