"Homebound" is the story of Cristina Dubinchuk on a journey to visit home after two months since the war started. She was a 20-year-old Ukrainian who had to leave her country unwillingly on the last day of February due to the war. Since then, she has volunteered in a Poland based Ukrainian charity to help her fellow people from her country. Through Cristina's interactions with the people and places during her visit to Ukraine, this story captures the emotion and reaction of Ukrainians to the Russia- Ukraine War.
