UNARMED is a short creative documentary that emerges from a live choreographic process developed in Ukraine, in collaboration with artists and women directly affected by war. Rather than reconstructing events, the film attends to what the body carries: memory, silence, grief, resistance, and care.

Positioned as dance reportage, UNARMED treats choreography as a form of testimony. Movement becomes a site of truth where lived experience is transmitted through gesture, breath, weight, and collective presence. The performers do not represent others; they witness their own histories.

In a media landscape saturated with images of destruction, UNARMED proposes another way of seeing — one that insists on human connection, dignity, and the political power of embodied knowledge.
