Ukraine on Film / Українське кіно
Thursday, November 24, 2022, 7pm
Film Screening: Orange Revolution
This film chronicles Ukraine’s 2004 presidential campaign, from one candidate’s poisoning to the intimidation of voters, acid-bombing of ballot boxes, and the political pressure put on election officials to count votes a certain way. The government’s contempt for the people’s choice brought nearly a million citizens into the streets of Kyiv for a 17-day around-the-clock protest. With music, interviews, and rare footage of the demonstrations, this film captures the spirit and determination of the most successful political protest of the decade.
Free for members and $7 for non-members. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please arrive early to guarantee your seat.

About Ukraine on Film / Українське кіно
This Fall and through the Winter, please join us to learn about the modern history of Ukraine through a monthly documentary film series. Beginning October 27, we will present one documentary film each month. This is an opportunity for everyone interested in contemporary Ukraine to learn more about its struggles and triumphs in the 20th and 21st centuries. All films are bilingual Ukrainian/English, with subtitles. The Museum will host an informal discussion following each film.
