Hell Jumper

Courage, love and loss. Young people risk their lives with self-funded missions to rescue families in Ukraine’s frontline towns. Told through their own words and unique first-person footage.

A new look at the story of the war in Ukraine, captured through the eyes – and the extraordinary first-person footage – of a group of volunteers saving strangers’ lives in one of the most dangerous places on earth.

It is an unforgettable and immersive story of courage, passion and loss among idealistic young people risking their lives in the middle of a war zone, without military support.
