With this video, we summarised the first stage of the journey of The Grain Captain of Ukraine – a journey that began with the pain of loss and evolved into a deeper conversation about strength, dignity, and hope.
Over this period, the film has gone through:
- major pre-premiere screenings in Ukraine: Kyiv, Odesa, and Mykolaiv;
- a regional tour across Ukraine in cities where NIBULON operates;
- an educational tour of universities, colleges, and business schools;
- a national premiere within the Odesa International Film Festival;
- a win at the Bobritsa Film Festival;
- official selection and screening at the Girona International Film Festival;
- a European tour that began in London and included stops in Paris, Geneva, Amsterdam, Cologne, Copenhagen, and concluded in Stockholm.
In total, more than 50 events were held, and the film was seen by over 15,000 viewers in Ukraine and across Europe – including representatives of business, financial institutions, diplomatic circles, the educational community, community leaders, media, and the Ukrainian diaspora.
This video captures genuine reactions from people
No scripts. No prepared words.
Just honest reflections after the screening.
Thoughts on why this story matters right now.
The Grain Captain of Ukraine has become more than a film – it is a shared experience, a conversation about responsibility, resilience, and the ability to keep the course even when there is no map.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
Ahead are new educational screenings, broader audiences, and the next stages of distribution.
We move forward. We do not give up
