🇺🇦 On The Ground — In #conversation with @alanbadoev#AlanBadoev: “When bombs hit your country, when your friends die, you can not stand uninvolved. You must be on the light side, where the truth is.”
A week ago marked the fifth month of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of #Ukraine. Since then, millions of people have been displaced, thousands have died and cities have been completely destroyed. A statisic by Statista shows that since the start of the invasion, around five million #Ukrainians have crossed the Polish border as refugees. When sitting in a safe place in Germany, the pain most Ukrainians are going through is unimaginable and unthinkable and the urge to help steadily increasing while the sense of utter helplessness is constantly creeping up on you. Since February, Ukraine has been dominating the news, but five months in, the news cycle is slowly moving on, and other horrible things are making headlines. But doesn’t mean that the war is over. Russia is committing war crimes almost on a daily basis, with unspeakable videos emerging and stories being told, that are so horrible you can’t believe they’re real.
KALTBLUT had a long conversation with the #Ukrainian#film#director and producer Alan Badoev, who is currently working on a documentary film about the war. The documentary features videos sent by ordinary people documenting their experiences, both devastatingly sad and happy. Alan is one of the most well-known filmmakers in #EasternEurope, having directed well 600 music videos.
