Nice Ladies is a feature documentary about women from the oldest cheerleading team in Ukraine, the ‘Nice Ladies,’ who support each other, are not afraid to go against stereotypes, compete in the 25+ category, and prepare for the European Cheerleading Championship. However, with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, part of the team finds itself abroad, and part of them stays in their native Kharkiv. Living through the experience of war in different ways, the ‘Nice Ladies’ face forced separation and a threat not only to their lives but also to their unity, looking for ways to build a new common language and understanding. The film is a co-production of the Netherlands (Labyrint Film) and Ukraine (Tabor Production). The international premiere of the film is at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival 2024, and its TV partners are HUMAN (Netherlands), MDR (Germany), SVT (Sweden), DR (Denmark).
