‍ALIEA and AFUES present two Canadian-made films about Ukrainian newcomers:

‍Horizons of Belonging - 60 minutes

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.
