The story is told by 12 Jamaicans who studied in Ukraine. They are sharing their first hand experience of the good and the bad, why they chose Ukraine to study and what it's like to be a Jamaican in Ukraine. Their peaceful stay in Ukraine was interrupted by russia, when it launched a full scale war on Ukraine and began shelling Ukrainian cities. This put millions of people in Ukraine in immediate danger. Among them - over 76000 foreign students, including the Jamaicans. Majority were trapped in Kharkiv, the city which happened to be under the heaviest attack by the Russian invaders.
This film shows what REALLY happened during the evacuation of foreign students from Ukraine and what they had to go through on trains, buses, 30 km walk and at the border itself. We're also addressing the part of the story that went viral in mainstream media about the discrimination of African students in Ukraine.
The full story is told by 12 Jamaicans who were actually there.

I wish to thank you Irina particularly for showing the end of the evacuation and entry into Poland . As the representative of Poland in Jamaica I participated on two phones one with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jamaica and one with the Jamaican students in Poland between midnight and four o'clock in the morning. I wish to thank all who were involved in Poland, I had heard all about Olivia and her husband, I talked that night all night with Anthonio Dixon who who was on spot, with Javor Samuels who features in this video and all persons who were involved both directly and indirectly in the rescue mission that memorable night. To the students I send my wishes and hopes that you WILL be able to continue your studies and if you do gain entrance into a Polish University I will be there to process your student visa applications Irena Cousins Hon. Consul General of Poland in Kingston

Dear Irena, It is us who should be thanking you for all the help when we were in the most serious need. I heard of the contribution you made and hope I have a chance to thank you in person. I also know there are Jamaican students who were able to secure places at universities and are studying in Poland right now - Poland has been so welcoming for them. As a Ukrainian, I still find it hard to get the words to express how Ukrainians feel about Poland - a country that saved millions of lives, literally. I can just add that we are forever grateful to all the Polish people for everything they have already done for us and are still doing today. 🇵🇱🇺🇦🇯🇲

Wow! Fantastic! Thank you Irina for putting this together. Such balanced reporting which shines a different light on some of the negative and biased reporting in the early days of the war. If Ukraine was that racist as reported, none of the students would want to return. Just to hear their messages to the Ukrainian people left me very emotional. Absolutely amazing documentary and I believe you should submit this masterful piece of work to the IDA Documentary Awards or even for an Academy Award.

@trevorsteer7331 Год назад

Another WOW !!!! I really thought it was going to take me several viewings to get through this THREE (3) HOUR Documentary....but once I started, I just could NOT STOP watching...and the (3) hours seem to fly by. A Testament to a well done and VERY INTRIGUING and EXTREMELY INTERESTING Film. Irina, words can't begin to describe how Awesome and Well Done this Documentary IS. Much Big Up and Nuff Respect to ALL the Jamaicans in this film, and all (even those not featured) who went through the ordeal to get out when the invasion started. But I am MOST IMPRESSED by the UNITY showed by the Group, and in being there for one another. I also KNEW Jamaicans always stand by other Jamaicans (speaking from personal experience); so I am not surprised to witness that in this film. Thank you all for sharing your stories.

@JAMAICAWITHIRIE Год назад

@eileenwatt8283 Год назад

That's true. When I was in Czech I just couldn't help noticing how quiet the people were. On the train nobody speaks. I asked a tour guide " why are they so quiet and don't they smile ". She says because when they were under communism they couldn't speak or smile so they just continued that way. She told me that Bob Marley song " Redemption " brought them hope. In her house they would hide and listened to Redemption Song and just dreamed of freedom. Finally Czech Republic was freed.

@martinheretics2645 Год назад

Nonsense. In Japan, people do no speak in train and they hadn`t have communism, same West Germany....People do not speak in train in Czech rep., because for 40 years they had communism....what a stupid conclusion... they are so many topics to talk a part from politics....and in 20`s and 30s` the Czechoslovakia was only democratic country in central Europe, among 12 most developed country in the World. Just becouse Western country betrayal, we were under Nazi Germany and then Soviet rules....Westeners, they are such a ignorants...

I was so happy to see that you finally got a chance to complete this documentary Irene. Once it started, I couldn’t stop watching. It was like a roller coaster ride-I laughed, I cried, I was horrified. In my head, I was on the journey with them; I walked in the freezing cold, my feet ached, I was hungry and full of despair but I felt relief when I made it out safely. As I listened attentively, I heard the students’ passion for your country, knowing that they felt that way because of how they were treated while studying there. It says a lot about the Ukrainian people. I’m so grateful that despite their pain, they were still able to assist so many people on the way to ‘freedom’. I was particularly touched when the lady came of her car to defend my people. That was humanity at its best!!🤗 I really hope someone got her name and number so they could keep in touch. Thank you for looking after my fellow Jamaicans. Thanks also to the Friends of Jamaica team and all others who contributed in some way. The resilience of your Ukrainian people will keep them going during this horrible time. I will continue to pray for them and for the lives of those who perished. On another note, I seriously hope that the students are receiving ongoing counseling. They have been traumatised.

Irina again this is amazing information I am actually in tears watching this video student majority of Jamaican was praying for you guys and we are with you guys on the other hand I can’t understand why the Jamaican government wouldn’t help these student to go to UWI so they can finish their degree knowing some of them was this close only two months away from becoming a doctors they shouldn’t happen there have to be away and I hope they watch this video furthermore the education was too expensive for them and they go all the way to Europe to accomplish their goals and dreams guys we are with you and I hope you guys get back in school so that you can become the doctor you desire to be

Irina I watch this entire account of these Jamaican Students ..ESCAPING UKRAINE.. We saw how Ukraine was so beautiful with all those historic buildings and its amazing culture. All the student who took part in this documentary made us feel like we were there. It was very informative and highly emotional at times. A lot of questions was answered. It is also clear how the students love Ukraine would be happy to return when the war ends. Very , very sad how many parts of Ukraine has been destroyed and so many people have been displaced as well as lost their lives. Well done to everyone how took part. Brilliant documentary. I pray that this war will come to an end sooner than later.

Wow!!! Thank you Irina for this brilliant film, and the courageous students for sharing their experiences and insights! It was an honour to hear their stories and first-hand testimonies of what it was really like. It was also beautifully made. As an Irish person, I want you to know that we are supporting Ukraine and their citizens are very welcome here in Ireland. As are Jamaicans, which goes without saying. I visited Jamaica last Christmas and it was magical and when myself and my five-year old niece ran into trouble there trying to get home, the Jamaican people moved heaven and earth to help us. Happy independence day!!! Love from Ireland.

First off let me say, the Lord be with Ukraine, take care of it’s people, and may this devastation end soon. To the students, so happy to know you guys got out safely. As a Jamaica having lived many years in New York, the winters I lived through was nothing compared to what you guys experienced. So impressed with how you looked out for each other. God bless all those people who assisted you guys too. To Irina, as always, GREAT JOB 👏🏼 👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️

I'm watching the ads because everyone who worked on this doc deserves every last cent from it. I definately will look into this channel after this, i'd heard about it but never really thought anything of it, seems the universe lead me back to it. Interested to see my country through a new set of eyes.

Thank you so much for the support 🙏 With other videos on the channel - it's best to start with the most popular videos on the channel to get the idea why people like it.
