Ukraine - Pretty Cool Place

Welcome to Kyiv, Ukraine. Equal parts passion project, observational documentary and sly, biting cultural commentary—this blur of audio visual inputs and felt memories shines a favorable light on the many kind souls Luke Huxham met and befriended in this oft-misconceived Eastern European cultural gem. This film to the friends Luke made, and the place they call home.
