It's strange that Ukraine is in the headlines daily. In my childhood, no one had ever heard of Ukraine and we'd never have seen anything on TV, or even had a glimpse of a Ukrainian flag in the media. Not until the wall fell and Oksana Baiul hit the Olympics with a bang, winning gold in the winter olympics in figure skating. To see the Ukrainian flag rise up the pole and hear Sche ne vmerla Ukraina was astounding. We all bawled our eyes out.
And with that invisibility of Ukraine, I'd never heard anything about any Ukrainian movies so I was happy to come across an article about the five best Ukrainian movies. Here are the five I will attempt to watch, all available on YouTube:
- My Thoughts Are Silent / Мої думки тихі (2019)
- The Guide (2016 Capital Ukrainian Festival)
- Feathered Dreams / Легкая, как перышко (2012)
- Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)
- Man With a Movie Camera / Человек с Аппаратом (1929)
