HOME FRONTS, 12min., UK
Directed by Maria Sapouna
As news of the war in Ukraine breaks, people around the world come together to show their solidarity.

In following their stories, the film shows ordinary people finding meaning and overcoming powerlessness through everyday acts in their local communities. These stories show our deep need to connect and resist and, whether we can change the world or not, are a bittersweet yet hopeful reminder of our common humanity. In the words of Volodymyr Zelenskyy “home is also the front line”.
