About the Film
Roman Zajac,
Director
Andriy Semenyuk,
Cinematographer
Winemaking is one of many Ukrainian industries to suffer from the 2022 Russian invasion.
The documentary “Wounded Land: The Unbroken Spirit of Ukraine” tells the stories of Ukrainian vintners and farmers working to keep their entrepreneurial spirits alive during wartime.
It is an inspiring story of hardship, perseverance and deep love for one’s land.
All the proceeds from the silent auction will go towards funding Wounded Land II.
