Young Stars of Europe

2

by Svitlana Romashko

I think there are lots of healthy and good things happening in the EU. Ukrainian freedom of speech and thoughts were restricted by the authorities and ideology.
And only now, EUROMAIDAN – EuroSquare in Kyiv (Ukraine) is able to express itself freely and without fear. BUT FOR WHAT COST???
A lot of people were killed during Euromaidan (during the fall and winter of 2013-2014). Now we know them as “Heavenly hundred”.
My video is praising the freedom which can be obtained from EU accession.
I think this video has potential impact on a large audience of all genders and socio-economic backgrounds.
Because you are European!
You’re a human!
Your smile is unique!
Your misery is unique!
Your eyes are unique!

Poem «Do you know you’re a human?» written by Vasyl Symonenko, a well-known Ukrainian poet.
Language: My clip is made in Ukrainian with English subtitles.
My video includes archives of EUROMAIDAN (EuroSquare in Kyiv).

Because we are the young stars of Europe!
