At the Ukrainian Festival this month we captured a powerful scene for our documentary CODE 450: our main character Marichka performing live with Daughters of Donbas. Equally unforgettable, Oksana Smilska gave voice to the heartbreaking stories of children kidnapped during the war—her words held the audience in silence. It felt as if the sky itself echoed the strength of her music—an unforgettable moment that will become a key part of the film.
We’re now moving into the final stages of production.
Huge thanks to Marichka for an incredible performance and for sharing her story with such courage.
Directed by our talented colleague Olena Tumanska.
