From GB with love Video messages of support for Ukraine and young refugees to join Hackney film-makers
Young volunteers learning to shoot with the Citizen TV making charity WORLDwrite, have today launched their first episode of a short solidarity video for Ukraine.
- (1888PressRelease) April 01, 2022 - On the streets of Dalston, East London, volunteers and passersby provide eloquent testimony to the strength of support in the UK for Ukrainian people. With additional interviews provided by a brave Russian protestor and refugees in Warsaw we learn of the hopes for Ukraine’s victory, for an end to Putin’s tyranny and for peace between former neighbours and friends.
Asked if the government is doing enough, Louis a student from Hackney tells us “It’s all well and good being supportive with their voices, but that’s not what the people of Ukraine need, they need actual, tangible help. Really we need to decide if we are going to be on the right or the wrong side of history here.”
Director Ceri Dingle said today: “The young media-makers we work with have produced this video with verve and a passion that shows. Members of the public don’t hold back either, they expect more from the government and their messages of support are heartfelt. We’re delighted too, to be helping Hleb (25) and Vladlena (22), two young film-makers from Ukraine who have fled the war and who contributed to this short. If we can raise the funds, we can help them to come here, work with the charity and be more than refugees.”
The film is freely available to watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/8yp3QhSKzcM
