Once Upon a Time in Ukraine | Betsy West | 32 min | 2024
A surprising story of resilience: how Ukrainian children are surviving the Russian war machine that has targeted them and their families. With creativity and imagination they transform backyards and playgrounds destroyed by missiles, invent fairy tales where vegetable armies vanquish Russian attackers, and carry on the Ukrainian traditions of music and dance in demolished studios. A portrait of life behind the frontlines as seen through the eyes of the children who will inherit a country struggling to survive a brutal invasion.
Ukraine Under Fire | Jordan Campbell | 40 min | 2024
American journalist Jordan Campbell returns to Ukraine on a mission to amplify the voices of Ukrainians who have endured life under fire. With the war escalating daily, Campbell chronicles Olga Butko, a national news anchor, and Peter Fouché, a frontline medic from the UK. Their remarkable personal stories, along with a series of interviews with Ukrainian citizens, underscore Ukraine’s battle for freedom amidst unimaginable circumstances.
This screening is presented as part of our ongoing programming for Amidst Cries from the Rubble: Art of Loss and Resilience from Ukraine.
