Ukraine deserves a better conversation in the world. It is enough of all those stupid stereotypes.

Kyiv has to be one of the best-kept secrets in the world. And to anyone who knows this place, there was the view that Ukraine’s capital was on track to be one of the hot spots of Europe in the next five years. The place was booming (even with all the problems Ukraine was facing, like corruption, old Soviet mentality, etc.). Creativity and entrepreneurship were on the rise, and you often would hear that Kyiv was the next Berlin.

This film is a love letter to Kyiv. It shows us what the world will miss out on if Kyiv ceases to exist. Kyiv, and the rest of Ukraine, is soulful. There is something magical here that is worth protecting. Worth nurturing. Worth investing in.

This week in Kyiv was not easy. The attacks have been intense. Monday’s strike by Russia on the capital was the biggest since the start of the full scale invasion. Please God this nightmare ends soon.
