CHILDREN OF UKRAINE
A documentary born from urgency.
Filming the truth, Protecting memory.
About the Project
Children of Ukraine is a feature-length documentary revealing one of the war’s least understood crimes: the forced deportation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children by Russian forces.
Filmed with exclusive access to rescue operations and government institutions, it combines journalistic precision and cinematic artistry to preserve truth, inspire global awareness, and support efforts to bring these children home.
- Filmed with authorization from the Office of the President of Ukraine (Bring Kids Back UA)
- Supported by Save Ukraine and Media Center Ukraine
- Phase I completed in Kyiv (August 2025) – Phase II scheduled for 2026
“Some cameras capture beauty. Ours capture history.”
The Human Story
Behind every number is a face, a family, a voice.
Children of Ukraine is not just a film, it’s an act of memory.
The project documents the silent war fought by rescuers, psychologists, and families to recover stolen children and rebuild their identities, every testimony was recorded under ethical supervision, with full consent and trauma-informed methods.
The Mission
Our mission is to combine cinema, truth, and compassion to:
- Preserve evidence of war crimes involving children.
- Mobilize global awareness through festivals, education, and media.
- Support ongoing humanitarian and legal efforts for child repatriation.
The film aims to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2027, followed by an Oscar-qualifying run and international distribution.
Impact Beyond the Screen
Beyond the film, Children of Ukraine will evolve into an educational and outreach platform through:
- Screenings in embassies, schools, and cultural centers
- A making-of / micro-masterclass on filmmaking in conflict zones
- An online resource hub for NGOs, journalists, and educators
