Description
Every Friday evening a group of disabled war veterans get together for football practice at a small artificial pitch in Kyiv, far from the front line where they suffered injuries that maimed them for life. Football is giving these men a new lease of life as they try to adjust to their disabilities. "Losing a leg has no effect on my psyche at all. Because no one forced me, I was a volunteer from the very first days. We continue to live and that's it," says Oleksandr Malchevskiy. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
