B2B Doc gathered 10 projects for a pitch preparation workshop during East Doc Platform in Prague. The selected projects were all Ukrainian documentary works-in-progress at any stage of production. During the workshop the participants got valuable support and input from our tutors Hana Blaha Šilarová, Monika Franczak and Julianna Ugrin.
