In eastern Ukraine, workers at Kurakhove, the region’s last functioning coal-fired power plant, struggle to keep the electricity flowing as Russian missile and artillery strikes draw closer. Just ten kilometres from the front line, they continue to repair and maintain the plant, knowing that any working day could be their last. But when the power plant is finally destroyed, they are forced to leave.
Through intimate footage, The Last Prometheus of Donbas portrays a struggle to keep society alive in the shadow of war.
