As part of the “Right to the Future” project, the All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum public organization created the film “Force of Destiny”.

The film tells the real story of the child Nastya Huzarska, who has health problems due to lack of vaccination. This is a unique story of a girl who, as a result of her parents’ refusal to receive vaccinations, contracted whooping cough and measles. The consequences of these diseases are amazing. At the age of two, Nastya Huzarska developed complications from measles. And by the age of four, the situation reached such a critical level that the only way to save the girl was a heart transplant. A heart transplant operation was successfully performed in India. 

The main message of the film is the touching story of a child and how her life and her family were changed by the disease and what difficulties they faced. 

The production of the tape became possible thanks to the support of the American people, which was provided through the USAID project “Media Program in Ukraine”, which is implemented by the international organization Internews.
