“This time we are going to show really powerful films, some of our favorites.” — says Dmitry Gromov, Insiders Project show host and ideologist. “They are about Kyiv metro and a secret military factory. Our films show a rather peculiar activity, but they can be watched by a person who knows nothing about it. The video is structured so as to show complicated things in a simple and accessible way; otherwise, they would have remained something of the supernatural for most people. Besides, the audience is in for a surprise: a bonus film showing our work from inside, people behind the camera, our challenges and funny moments. Come join us, it’s going to be 100 per cent extreme!” 

Cold War bomb shelters, secret vaults and underground railway tunnels, abandoned factories and the highest rooftops become the objects of infiltration. Our team takes you along on their urban adventure to uncover the secrets of the hard to access locations. Urban exploration is a hobby that comes with inherent dangers and extreme situations may present themselves at any turn. Unstable structures, unsafe floors, chemical hazards, stray voltage — there’s a lot to overcome to make it to the bottom of that abandoned tunnel or to scale that building! Yet once you get in on the secret workings of the city and get to know the obscure spaces that are normally neglected, it makes it all worth it. It’s time to stop being oblivious to the urban wonders around us. Open a door, cross a fence, or sneak into a hole with our team and you have left the normal world, you are exploring. This is your city, but not as you know it!
