Episode 10: Another story about hope from Ukraine
Gardening in a war zone; Gardens, War, and two directors.
Filmmaking is a connectivity between the heart of man drawing inspiration from natural occurrences and situations one could find oneself. This is exactly what “Gardening in War a Zone” portrays. It dives deep into the resilience, survival and hope of a Ukrainian woman named Alla, who found peace and comfort in her garden irrespective of the situation she and her family found themselves in.
Beyond gardening, the beauty of hope and survival is a situation we can learn from.
