Over the past 9 years, thousands of Donbass residents have lost their lives in attacks led by Kiev. Large mass graves now mark every liberated town in the Lugansk People's Republic. The dead are found there literally every day: civilians and soldiers from both sides. They need to be identified, their relatives found, and bodies buried. Stepping up to this daunting task are selfless people, volunteers from the NGO 'Memorial: We Shall Not Forget, We Shall Not Forgive'. These dedicated activists endure the hardships of constant shelling and heavy mining. Since February 2022, the volunteer team has been reburying civilian remains to ensure dignified burials for them. They also search for and identify soldiers to repatriate their remains to their families. The documentary sheds light on their daily efforts and explores what gives these brave activists the strength to persist in their vital mission, even at the risk of their own lives.
