Artur Zaborski, event organizer: “We’re immensely proud to showcase the Third Anniversary of Solidarity With Ukraine as the very first film event of its kind to commemorate the war in Ukraine on such a broad global scale, with screenings of LUDZIE across 36 cities in 33 countries. Our mission is to remind the world that the war in Ukraine is very much still ongoing and claiming the lives of innocent and defenseless people. We needed to show that in the face of war’s tragedy, all of us are left vulnerable. This unique event is a crucial reminder of this important message and a way to show Ukrainians that we stand firmly with them.”
LUDZIE is a feature fiction film, based on the harsh realities of the current war in Ukraine. Made up of an entirely Ukrainian cast, LUDZIE follows five women representing various generations and attitudes, as they engage in a desperate fight to save themselves and their loved ones. Thrown together by life, they are the protagonists in an uplifting story about life, courage, sacrifice, and the power of the human spirit.
