Uprooted
At a time when the global displacement crisis has reached 100 million people worldwide, the hero short film Uprooted features Ukrainian refugees and sends a message of support to all refugees around the world.
Uprooted is accompanied by a further trilogy of films, where we meet the Ukrainian refugee cast and crew and hear about their first hand experience of the trauma of war and how they constantly have to relive the devastating memories of it.
UNHCR - Uprooted + supporting films
