Trailer:

The Longer You Bleed follows a group of displaced Ukrainians in Berlin as they navigate the psychological toll of witnessing war through their smartphones. In an era where global conflict is increasingly mediated through screens, The Longer You Bleed explores the emotional detachment and compassion fatigue that result from constant exposure to traumatic imagery. Blending observational intimacy with experimental visual language, it reveals how war, when rendered into content, numbs both victims and viewers. The impact campaign uses screenings, educational partnerships, and media engagement to spark critical dialogue about emotional resilience, digital ethics, and media literacy. Its goal is to empower everyone to engage with online suffering more intentionally and humanely.
