This episode of À la barbe du globe delves into the daily life of Gonzalo, a Spanish volunteer engaged at the heart of the Ukrainian conflict.
Known as the volunteer Puma, he has been splitting his time between Brussels and the Ukrainian front since the start of the invasion. An activist, documentary filmmaker and volunteer, he works as close as possible to the lines to deliver humanitarian supplies and protective equipment. Between two rotations, he films, writes and documents the war to bear witness to what is really happening on the ground and give a voice to those who resist.
Puma is also one of the founders of a Ukrainian cultural collective born in Brussels in 2024. Its aim: to turn art into a tool for concrete support. Concerts, exhibitions, events — each initiative becomes a direct way to fund the resistance and humanitarian projects in Ukraine.
