It took courage to open Ukraine’s first museum run by visually impaired people. Then the full-scale invasion began. Our new impact film, Underseen, tells the story of Alina Marnenko, the founder of a museum run by the visually impaired, as she navigates the meaning of her “Museum in the Dark” in the darkness of wartime.
