Front Row

When Russia's invasion shatters their homeland, a group of Ukrainian dancers find refuge in the Netherlands. But safety comes with a heavy burden. United by loss and love for their country, they form the United Ukrainian Ballet Company, transforming grief into movement and art into defiance. From their safe rehearsal rooms, they make tearful calls home, grappling with guilt as their families and friends fight on the frontlines. Then they meet Sasha, a Ukrainian soldier who lost both legs on the frontline. As he learns to move again with newly fitted prosthetics, a remarkable friendship and collaboration takes shape. What begins as rehabilitation becomes a revelation. Holding up a mirror to their lives, the soldier becomes a symbol for every brother, father, and friend they’ve left behind, igniting the dancers to transform their grief into their own artistic rebellion. Directed by Miriam Guttmann and executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, this deeply moving documentary is a testament to resilience, courage, and how art can heal and endure even in the shadow of tragedy.
