Help us Finish the Story
We’ve filmed under air raid sirens. We’ve delivered telescopes through blackout zones. We’ve watched students' faces light up as they looked through a telescope for the first time. Now, we need your help to bring their story to the world.
They asked for telescopes, not a way out.

Hope in the Darkness is a documentary that follows a powerful journey: bringing stargazing and science education to students in war-torn Ukraine. But this is more than a film—it’s a movement to show the resilience of youth, the power of education, and the light astronomy brings to even the darkest skies.
