‘Songs of Slow Burning Earth’ Film Tour

Songs of Slow Burning Earth is an acclaimed documentary about the war in Ukraine and its impact on everyday life. Filmed during the first two years of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the film provides an intimate look at how ordinary Ukrainians live with the realities of war.

“Unflinching in bringing war to our cinematic doorstep as a reminder that behind the abstract headlines you read every day there is the suffering of real people.” — International Cinephile Society

The film will tour the United States over the next few weeks and include discussions with director Olha Zhurba.
