Dancing for freedom

Ukrainian-born dancer Lena Bovay, director and choreographer Alexandra Green, and musician Pete Diggens have collaborated to create this emotionally charged short film, which aims to raise awareness and money for the people of Ukraine. 

When Russia invaded Ukraine one year ago today, Bovay decided she wanted to channel her pain and outrage into something good.  She approached director Green with an emotive piece of music, and together with a team of volunteers and a generous donation of equipment, they created this entrancing film through Spoon Studios. 

Through poetry and passionate choreography, the film, which takes place underground in the Brunel Tunnel shaft in South London, explores the isolation and darkness of the war, whilst also presenting the dignity and determination of Ukrainian people. 

The film is raising money for Choose Love, a charity that seeks to support refugees and displaced people from all over the world, helping them rebuild after intense tragedy. The link to the donation page can be found here:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/filmfundraiserukraine
