In fact, I wish that every person in the USA would watch it right now. No, I want everyone in the world to see it.<\/p>\n<p>And you can&#8230; right now: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mgVN6HHIW3k<\/p>\n<p>This film is one documentary of six in the \u201cCulture vs. War\u201d series and a feature length adaptation of the series is on the way.<br \/>\nI do not feel that I am exaggerating when I say that this film is one of the most important films that has ever played at either Film Invasion Los Angeles or Sherman Oaks film festival.<br \/>\nHonestly, I cannot believe how lucky I am that I had the opportunity to talk to Alina for two hours about this film, about the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, and about life in the country that my great grandparents fled in the 1890\u2019s.<br \/>\nBut even if you have no tie to Ukraine surely any person who believes in human rights, freedom, democracy, and the right to not be murdered in your home by a fascist neighbor will appreciate Alina\u2019s films and hopefully this podcast interview with her.<br \/>\nWhat is truly inspiring is that Alina and her creative partners reacted to the invasion by highlighting the power of Culture to overcome War.<br \/>\nThere is so much I want to say about this film and Alina, but I will instead just ask you to listen to the interview and WATCH THE FILMS.<br \/>\nAlina has shared links with us for the films as well as other important videos, news sources, and Facebook pages.<\/p>\n<p>Here come the links for the documentaries Culture vs war:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YALSyd3ohuU&amp;t=32s Antytila band<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9Ewnkyz1uxw&amp;t=16s cinematographer Serhii Mykhalchuk<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hR3Q2LiRTXg&amp;t=1100s film director Akhtem Seitablaiev<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AGKVyHliwsk&amp;t=82s poet Serhiy Zhadan<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gYn7r-Be7kc&amp;t=9s kobzar Taras Kompanichenko<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mgVN6HHIW3k&amp;t=43s photographers Kostiantyn and Vlada Liberov<\/p>\n<p>To check the videos of the Association Watch Ukrainian <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3249 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverindiefilm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Alina-Int-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@watchukrainian<\/p>\n<p>To check the news of the Association Watch<br \/>\nUkrainian https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dyvysukrainske<\/p>\n<p>Facebook page of Alina Krasnianska &#8211; executive producer Culture vs war project<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alina.krasnianska<\/p>\n<p>_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _<\/p>\n<p>Discover Indie Film<\/p>\n<p>Website\u00a0\u2013 Instagram\u00a0\u2013 Facebook\u00a0\u2013 X\/Twitter<\/p>\n<p>The INDIE Channel<\/p>\n<p>The INDIE Channel Website \u2013 Instagram\u00a0\u2013 Facebook \u2013 X\/Twitter\u00a0\u2013 TikTok<\/p>\n<p>Source: Discover Film<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back, Everybody!
