The Long Way to Safe: A True Story
A powerful story about strength, survival, and finding your way home.
An eight-year-old boy in Lviv goes to bed on a normal school night, never expecting everything to change by morning. When sirens wake him, he learns what war means through fear, confusion, and hurried goodbyes. As his family escapes through crowded stations and across uncertain borders, he’s forced to grow up far too fast. This is not just a story about leaving home, but about trying to feel safe again.
