Roots Will Remain

Inspired by the events which are tragically still ongoing in Ukraine, this film tells the story of a determined sunflower making its journey toward the light.

The theme of the film comes from the idea that nature always finds a way, it fights back and will remain here forever. To me this perfectly characterised the strength, determination and resilience of the Ukrainian people. The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, which has become a symbol of the nations resistance against the invasion of Russian forces.
