Mountain Breeze Documentary Won Pitch UA 3 Contest

A documentary film Mountain Breeze by Internews Ukraine won the Pitch UA 3 contest in the «Russian-language Content: Connect the Disconnected» section.

Our documentary is one of 26 projects selected by juries out of 330 submitted applications that will receive expert and financial support.

Mountain Breeze follows the stories of several Crimean Tatars who moved to mainland Ukraine after the occupation of Crimea. The heroes forge their own path after captivity and try to build a new home. With the Pitch UA support, we plan to produce a series of short documentaries.

The film is directed by Ukrainian documentary filmmaker and photojournalist Julia Kochetova-Nabozhniak.
