UNBROKEN. Rehabilitation from inside: from the operating theatre to first step | Film by Hryhorii Pyrlik. VIDEO
What happens to a person when a doctor gives them a ‘prognosis of less than three per cent’? When their chances are less than three per cent? When soldiers spend a month in a coma, undergo dozens of operations, and have to relearn how to walk, eat and see the world around them?

The Unbroken Centre in Lviv is one of the largest rehabilitation centres in Ukraine and Europe. Here, surgeons, prosthetists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and mentors do the unbelievable every day. Step by step. Session by session. From "just sitting and breathing" to the first independent step. "For two and a half months, we physically lifted and repositioned his leg.
Every day, every session. And then, suddenly, Andriy walked on his own." From "I can’t imagine how to go on living" to his own hand-controlled car.
"If I’d survived in Mariupol, then I had to survive in captivity too."
This film is so that the wounded and their loved ones know the steps to take and see rehabilitation from the inside: from the operating theatre to the first step. This is not a film about tragedy. This is a film about the truly unbreakable.
