Last semester at Emerson College, I made a short documentary Broken Soil. I co-directed and co-produced this film with filmmaker Tommy Harkey. The film focuses on the Boston’s Ukrainian community and how it has been affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Three Ukrainians: priest Roman Tarnavsky, Crimea native Oleksiy Morozli, and student Daria Mozhejko, share what it means to be far away from home when their country is going through a major crisis. Broken Soil features music by composer Gioacchino Marincola.
Broken Soil was selected to Salem Film Fest – Mass Reality Check student competition where it screened together with other captivating short docs! It also screened at the Emerson’s documentary festival It’s All True in Boston. It was nominated for Best Documentary at the 34th Evvy Awards, the largest student award show in the U.S.
