Culture Quest: Ukraine Episode Preview

My cinematographer Ian Levasseur and I (Ian Grant) were in Ukraine this last September 2022 filming a one hour special that will start airing February 1st, 2023 - and you can of course watch it here on our youtube channel, and on our Instagram and Facebook channels then as well. It's all about what the artists, writers, musicians, museum directors, satirists etc are doing to speak out against the war, to support their fellow Ukrainians in any way possible and to remind the rest of the world about what's going on in Ukraine. It was an incredible trip on a number of levels and while there was no shortage of hard things to see and talk about, there was also no question about the resilience of the people we met with, and the determination of the Ukrainian people to fight for their country and their culture.
