10 years of the DOCU/CLUB Network: How documentaries and film club initiatives change Ukraine’s communities

Duration
90’

In the tumultuous 2014, the year of the Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, the first Docudays UA film clubs opened. Their moderators were both leaders ready to form a community of activists around the film clubs and just engaged people who wanted to show documentaries to people, change life in their communities for the better.


Today, the DOCU/CLUB Network includes 424 film clubs which bring together over 40,000 viewers every year. What is the power of film clubs’ impact on communities? How does the Network support grassroots initiatives and teach residents to achieve positive change in communities?
