Pierre Crom reports. In 2014, the photojournalist traveled to Ukraine to document the imminent conflict on the eastern border. Juri Rechinsky shows Crom in an extensive interview, which together with his haunting photos and an unnerving score quickly develops an extremely grim pull.

What unites us all, regardless of the circumstances or part of the world we live in? Is simply being human the lowest common denominator? In their experimental documentary, Juri Rechinsky and Mario Hainzl explore this question by equipping women and men of different ages with body cams—in Austria, Senegal, the U.S., Japan, and on the Ukrainian front. An intimate, point-of-view journey through many lives and realities, revealing how close we actually are.
