Repairing shattered faces in war-torn Ukraine while seeking justice for war crimes and examining the influence of myth on Russia's invasion.
A specialized US and Canadian team of surgeons from Face the Future is working in Ukraine to repair the faces of soldiers and civilians shattered by war. The surgeries are complex and require a five- to 10-year commitment from the surgeons involved. The team is also training Ukrainian surgeons to help them deal with similar injuries in the future. The surgeries are not just about physical trauma, but also about helping patients deal psychologically with their injuries.
