The documentary\u2019s creator, Anton Ptushkin, will attend the screening from Kyiv and answer audience questions following the premiere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"1282\">The film was created following Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, aiming to present what\u2019s happening in the country through a different lens\u2014highlighting the relationship between people and animals. The documentary features a range of stories: some of animals abandoned amid the horrors of war, and others of the people who risk everything to save them. It\u2019s a powerful and emotional portrayal of hope, love, humanity, and courage. One of the film\u2019s most memorable quotes comes from Asya Serpinska, head of the animal shelter in Hostomel: <em data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1282\">\u201cSave the animals to preserve humanity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1762\"><em data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1313\">\u201cUs, Our Pets, and the War\u201d<\/em> is the work of Ukrainian filmmaker and travel blogger Anton Ptushkin, who rose to fame as the host of the travel show <em data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1448\">\u201c\u041e\u0440\u0451\u043b \u0438 \u0440\u0435\u0448\u043a\u0430\u201d<\/em> (Heads or Tails). Since the war began, Ptushkin has devoted himself to war reporting, risking his life on the front lines to show the harsh and sometimes shocking reality of war. In 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded him the title \u201cHonorary Journalist of Ukraine\u201d for his work in war journalism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"2105\">The screening in Riga is organized by the charity foundation \u201cSofi,\u201d one of the first Latvian organizations to help animals affected by the war\u2014both those who arrived in Latvia with their owners and those who remained in Ukraine.
