“My injuries were caused by hatred. But my body was rebuilt by love. And I said: “As a Ukrainian soldier, you will not find greater love than you will find in Ukraine. And you will have the opportunity that I have to have a new life”

War documentarian Giles Duley defines himself as a lucky man. 12 years ago, while filming in Afghanistan, he stepped on a landmine. Giles lost 3 limbs, had 37 surgeries, and was given a very poor medical prognosis. A year and a half later... he returned to work in Afghanistan.
Giles is now a founder of a charitable fund. @Legacy_of_War helps Ukrainians affected by war and raises funds via #UNITED24 for rebuilding efforts. In 2022, Giles was elected as the 1st @UN Global Advocate for persons with disabilities in conflict and peacebuilding situations.
