Mariupol- City of Blue and Grey
I never intended to make a documentary about the terrible ecology, low quality air and undrinkable water in Eastern Ukraine, but spending time in Mariupol make these issues something that's impossible to put out of mind.
As such, I decided to use my spare time collecting footage of the factories, interviewing the local activists and experts, and asking the public on their opinion on Mariupol's two giant metal works. I even managed to tour one factory, Azovstal, and see how things work on the inside.
Giving voice to both sides, it's a story of city vs industry, with hope it'll help bring the international attention this situation desperately needs, and encourage reform for the lapse Ukrainian environmental laws.
