The Bridge of Life. War in Ukraine

Overview

This TV documentary offers a poignant look at the partially destroyed bridge from Irpin to Kyiv, which has become a lifeline for people being evacuated from the war-torn city of Irpin. Irpin is a city in Ukraine, in the Kyiv region, located on the banks of the Irpin River, eight kilometers from the capital. As the war continues, Irpin has become one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine, while the partially destroyed bridge has become a lifeline for residents. People evacuated from Irpin are taken by car to the destroyed part of the bridge, while others walk across the river to reach the Kyiv side and continue on to safer areas. The day before March 13, when US and Ukrainian journalists were killed in Irpin, an LTV film crew was at the bridge. Currently, international media are no longer allowed into the city.
