This image gets worse the more you look at it because there are almost no legal moves and the few legal ones are within a contained space, but i did find the actual answer.

Undefended white pawn allows a bishop to break free to then free the rooks.

OP, i kinda recommend making this pawn and its cousins in the pattern black to make this truly unsolvable.
