I’m Ukrainian – and I cannot keep calm
Without doubt, the crisis in the Ukraine has already led to the biggest confrontation between the West and Russia since the end of the Cold War. International diplomats and Ukrainian policymakers try hard to stop the violence, the atrocities and human rights violations that sadly are a daily occurrence to date. How can a peaceful future for this country look like? This is not only what most of Ukraine’s 45 million inhabitants ask themselves, this is also what 40.000 Ukrainians who live in Germany constantly think about. Directly informed by their relatives and friends, and following both the Western and the Russian media, they feel that there is something they have to do, too – even if they are living some 1,200 kilometers away from Ukraine’s capital Kyiv.
The 11-minutes documentary film portrays five Ukrainians who live in Berlin: Liliya, an employee at a German foundation; Kateryna, a model; Serhij, a tax consultant; Evgeni, a gallery owner; and his wife Katya, a fashion designer. All of them live their individual lives in Germany, but are affected personally and professionally by what is going on in their home country. And all feel that they cannot keep silent.
