An unusual bond compels an Irish mother to travel to war torn Ukraine in order to bring her former surrogate and her family to safety. Directed by Anna Rodgers and Produced by Zlata Filipovic. After losing a baby late in pregnancy, Cathy turned to surrogate Ivanna in Ukraine who safely carried her twins in 2019. The two mothers developed an unusual bond. When the war broke out, Cathy felt compelled to cross the border into a war-zone and carry out the family of the woman who had carried hers.
