The documentary film “Olherd Bochkovskyi. The spark of the burning fire of national consciousness is unquenchable” was presented in Kyiv.
As Iryna Batyreva, First Deputy General Director of the Holodomor Memorial National Museum, noted, the tape was not chosen by chance. After all, it tells about an outstanding sociologist, political scientist and active figure of the Ukrainian diaspora. In addition, it has an educational character for the younger generation.
Representatives of the creative team that worked on the film – scriptwriter and director Hryhoriy Rudenko and lead actor Artem Bilbek, while presenting the documentary, drew the audience’s attention to the allusions contained in the film about Olherd Bochkovskyi. Europe, according to the creators of the film, was silent then, and now we must realize our responsibility for the future of Ukraine and honor our past, not forgetting the figures who saw the meaning of life in defending the interests of our country.
Artem Vilbik, an actor who played the role of Bochkovsky, noted: “How many years have we had our independence – and only now has such an active movement begun, which is raising the consciousness of Ukrainians. It helps to identify oneself as a nation, as a people. The figure of Bochkovsky is an example of how a person who identifies himself as a Ukrainian should behave.”
The general information partner is “Espreso”, the presenter of the documentary is Mykola Kniazhytskyi.
