This reportage presents the current conflicts in Odessa and Kherson region throughout the daily activities of the Odessa-based local worship community called OR Ha Mashiah founded in 1996, that consists of Jewish and Christian believers.
This story is an emotional rollercoaster itself: it gives an exclusive insight to a traditional Jewish wedding and worships inside of the community from Odessa and their spiritual micro-environment, just as it presents the outside world, a humanitarian aid transport to the rural and urban areas of Kherson, only few kilometres from the Russian troops. Throughout this concept the reportage is consistently balancing between bittersweet moments and sorrowful human stories.
following the question to THE members of the community about how they can survive the war mentally, most of them answer the same, quote:
“God protects us”.
