“It’s an honor to be part of Ukraine's fight for freedom and survival,“ Rose said. “However, it’s an honor I would gladly forego if it meant Ukrainians didn't have to suffer through this horrific, illegal and unjust attack on their sovereignty and very existence. It feels like my life purposely led me here, so I’m committed to Ukraine until victory and beyond.”
Rose, who has previously traveled and produced Raw Travel in Ukraine, as well as other politically charged locations including Haiti, Cuba, China and Vietnam, spent a month back in Ukraine last summer, highlighting seemingly unlikely moments of joy amidst the devastation.
The trip took Rose to Kyiv, Bucha, Hostomel, Irpin, Odesa, Kharkiv and various villages in order to profile humanitarians, filmmakers, soldiers and others on the front lines of a global struggle against tyranny.
Trailers for the series can be found on the show’s website, while viewers tuning in locally can find information on Raw Travel's regional channel guide.
