Postcards from Ukraine Filming Locations

Postcards from Ukraine is a documentary dealing with the crisis in Ukraine. After traveling all over Ukraine, Sieva, the director, chose to focus on 5 young characters whose lives have been deeply affected by the events happening in Ukraine. Each of the five characters come from various cities and social background's giving the viewer a sense of how individually these people react to the very important decisions they are faced with. The documentary reports events, such as the referendum for the independence of Donbas region and the national presidential elections, which where all factors that lead to the turmoil in Ukraine. And then there is the influence of mass propaganda that completes the context in which the five characters move. From the suburbs of Donetsk, to the separatists camps in Lugansk, to the block posts in Mariupol and Crimea, from the rich estates of the oligarchs in Kharkhiv to the still occupied Maidan Square in Kyiv, Postcards from Ukraine aims to represent a cross-section of the new generation of Ukraine; their values, their dreams and the role they play in this big crisis written by the elites.
