A portrait of Jewish life in Ukraine today, in the mirror of history and in the shadow of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

”The Community” captures the strength and resilience of Ukraine’s diverse Jewish community as they navigate the hardships of war. Through personal stories and interviews with a range of characters, the film reveals their essential role in Ukraine’s struggle and explores their experiences amidst accusations of Nazism that have cast a shadow over the nation. As the film’s director and someone who once called Ukraine home, I returned to witness this powerful reality firsthand, seeking to understand why, despite everything, the Jewish community continues to see Ukraine as their home.
