PROJECTS


VONA

Documentary series by DIM FILMHOUSE
“VONA”, meaning “She”, in Ukrainian refers to our precious Mother Earth, the natural environment upon which all of humanity depends. “Ecocide” is its deliberate destruction. Our environment exists with no borders and no nationality, yet it is often sidelined as collateral damage during times of war - the silent victim.
