Irpin. Chronicles of Revival

Contact:

Olia Mykhailiuk’s video notes are dedicated to Irpin and its residents who are trying to rebuild their lives after the occupation and fighting in the city. Even though the war is still on, despite their own broken houses, mutilated streets, and all the places they used to know. What does it feel like to plant a vegetable garden near the ruins? And how do you talk about losses now? The interviewees talk about their favorite plants but also share their most heartbreaking stories.
Irpin became one of the outposts of Kyiv where heavy fighting has been going on since February 24, 2022. One part of the town was occupied, while the other was heavily damaged by the aggressor. Irpin was the first to be liberated on March 28, 2022.
The film is a part of the project Irpin. Chronicles of the Revival, which also included humanitarian aid and the restoration of urban locations affected by shelling.
