PROLOGUE: War

The whole team at HTBD has been working, at this point for years, on a new season about Odes[s]a, Ukraine. While we’re impatient to put out everything we’ve been preparing, we decided to take our time and frame what you will be hearing this season. A prologue if you will. For the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing these short casual clips that explain our approach (and how it changed) this season. This clip addresses Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which completely upended life in Odes[s]a. While the war does not fundamentally shift residents’ long rooted relationships to their city, it does reshape their ambitions and fears for the future. It also had a huge impact on the way we were able to record the show.
