An intimate evening of live storytelling, where journalism becomes human, urgent, and deeply personal, and where guests can connect with the people behind the headlines.  The evening will offer а rare, unfiltered look into how our team works, from frontlines and courtrooms to investigations and in-depth features. It will also shine а light on the people at the heart of our work: survivors, investigators, and everyday Ukrainians whose courage drives our reporting. These are not just stories of war-they are stories of resilience, resistance, and humanity.

Proceeds from the evening benefit the Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit. 

About the War Crimes Investigation Unit:

The Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit conducts investigations into war crimes and Russian atrocities in Ukraine. The unit, led by some of Ukraine’s top investigative journalists, will produce documentaries that will uncover war crimes committed during Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.  Russian forces have allegedly committed over 80,000 war crimes since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, according to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine. The War Crimes Investigations Unit is working to tell personal stories and shed light on the suffering behind Russia's war crimes, committed on a massive scale.  Our team provides in-depth investigations to help the victims seek justice, law enforcement gather evidence, and readers understand the horrors of Russia's brutal invasion.
