Live. Fight. Survive.

Description

The extraordinary recount of one man's experience in the Ukrainian war and his miraculous escape from Russian imprisonment...

Live. Fight. Survive. follows Shaun Pinner, a retired and decorated British soldier, living a peaceful and happy life in Mariupol with his Ukrainian family. This true story details his six months spent imprisoned in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

After enduring the horrors of frontline fighting, Shaun had to survive his capture by the Russian soldiers and his removal to a Black Site—an off-the-grid prison untethered to human rights conventions. There, he was subjected to a campaign of torture by Putin's secret police. Shaun experienced electric shocks, was stabbed, beaten, and nearly starved to death, all while trying to maintain his morale alongside the other POWs.

He was deployed to a forward position with the Air Assault Company, 1st Battalion, 36th Brigade, Ukrainian Marines when Russian invaded in February 2022. Captured after the siege of Mariupol, he spent the next six months as prisoner of war.
