Screening in Saskatoon on March 9th.
This spring, Canada will witness a story that inspires the world!
Starting in May, a special screening tour of the Ukrainian documentary “Second Wind” will take place across the country. The film tells the story of five Ukrainian heroes: four veterans with lower-limb amputations and an active-duty servicewoman who climbed Africa’s highest peak — Mount Kilimanjaro.
They journeyed from pain and doubt to self-acceptance, new purpose, and a renewed sense of inner strength. “Second Wind” portrays not only a physical challenge, but also a profound inner transformation, reminding us that life after injury can be filled with meaning, challenges, and victories.

Following each screening, there will be a live discussion with members of the Second Wind team, including:

• Vladyslav “Shatya” Shatil — film protagonist and veteran
The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear personal stories about the journey from injury to the summit of Kilimanjaro.
The Canadian special screenings of Second Wind carry a charitable mission. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans through initiatives of the Canada–Ukraine Foundation, which funds comprehensive physical and mental health rehabilitation programs for Ukrainian heroes. By attending a screening, you are not only experiencing a powerful cultural event, but also making a meaningful contribution to the recovery of Ukraine’s defenders.
Life goes on. Victory is possible — no matter what.
