The city of Lviv in western Ukraine is 50 miles from the Polish border. It's been the departure point for many of the 2 million refugees who have fled Ukraine. But with weapons and medic training for volunteers, it's also becoming the center of the country's resistance against Russia. Some of Lviv's residents have turned their homes and businesses into shelters for refugees passing through the city. Chad has turned his bar into a place for people to hide during airstrikes and a depot for volunteers to gather food and supplies to send to more dangerous parts of the country. A short documentary about Black Lives Matter activism in the Pittsburgh skate community. Mekiya, who is African American and works as a social worker, says that women of colour often aren’t listened to by doctors. She had a traumatic experience giving birth to her previous children in hospital and along with the additional risk of coronavirus decided to have her daughter at home with the help of Natalie Watson, co-founder of Steel City Midwives. What does the Overview Collective do to get people thinking about the climate crisis? Build an escape room where you’re challenged to reverse time and save NYC from a flooded future, and use VR to show us the environmental significance of…oysters. Meet Pittsburgh’s ghost hunters: Ghosts N’at. The Ghosts N’at team hosts guided ghost hunt events in Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania. We brought our camera along for a ghost hunting adventure at the Hotel Conneaut.
