ALIEA and AFUES present two Canadian-made films about Ukrainian newcomers:
Horizons of Belonging - 60 minutes
Language: Ukrainian and Russian with English subtitles
Synopsis: What does it mean to be a Ukrainian newcomer in Alberta? A film crew followed four Ukrainian families over a year in Edmonton and Calgary as they navigated the challenges of rebuilding their lives after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Horizons of Belonging is a deeply personal exploration of identities, displacement and belonging, shedding light on what it means to be a modern Ukrainian, and ‘start over’ in a new country.
Watch Trailer
Silent Courage - 20 minutes
Language: Ukrainian Sign Language, English, Ukrainian subtitles
Synopsis: In the wake of war, Deaf Ukrainians rebuild their lives in Alberta, navigating new languages, work, and community with courage and resilience.
The film reveals both the barriers and the strength that define resettlement in Canada.
