Highlighting Humanity In Ukraine


Listen Later

In this episode of Open Container, host Doug Schnitzspahn is joined by Jordan Campbell who is a journalist, photographer, mountaineer, and award-winning documentary filmmaker, to discuss his latest project, Ukraine Under Fire.

Campbell, known for his career in the outdoor industry and international expeditions, has turned his focus toward humanitarian storytelling in conflict zones. He shares his experience embedding with medics, civilians, and soldiers on the frontlines of Ukraine, capturing the resilience of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.

Topics include:

  • How a career in climbing and the outdoor industry prepared Campbell for work in war zones.
  • The misinformation and propaganda surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
  • The resilience and humanity of everyday Ukrainians, from news presenters to frontline medics.
  • The moral weight of documenting war and maintaining hope amid devastation.
  • How outdoor values—risk, resilience, and connection—translate into humanitarian action.
  • The legacy of Peter Fouché, a frontline medic featured in the film who was killed in 2024.

Jordan’s story is one of risk, responsibility, and resilience. It’s about what it means to live with compassion and document truth, even in the harshest conditions.
