Our company continues to work on the series “GULAG. Witnesses.” The next eight episodes will be devoted to the topic of Ukrainians in the Gulag. “Executed Revival” is the name of a group of Ukrainian intelligentsia destroyed by the Stalinist repressive machine in the 30s. “Ukrainians in the Gulag”, “Ukrainian women in the Gulag”, “Uprisings in Stalin’s camps”, and “Holodomor as a form of repression against the Ukrainian people”. To work on the series, our film crew went to Ukraine. On May 19, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Stalin’s Repressions.

A Heartbreaking video of destruction caused by the Russian missiles and the rescue of a surviving dog from the town of Smila, Cherkasy region of Ukraine. This dog spent 24 hours under the ruins of a house.

The city of Smila, Cherkasy region of Ukraine. The hometown of our colleague and friend, the ECG director Olena Tumanska. On December 29, the city was shelled by the Russian Federation, along with 120 other places in Ukraine. Russia was preparing a New Year’s gift for peaceful Ukrainian cities. Olena’s parents were not injured, but there is a lot of destruction in the city. An entire street was destroyed, and as of now, it is known about six injured, one seriously. Our hearts are with Olena and her family.

 

It was a great honor for us to see our colleague Olena Tumanska today live on the Toronto Latest News program on CP24, where she presents her film Ukrainian Mothers and Children of War. The film opens in all Cineplex theaters on September 28th and you should check it out!
