A HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS: Ukrainian Children Living In A War Zone

Movikarma Season 3 Episode 36

Jared Milrad sits down with award-winning filmmaker Simon Lereng Wilmont about his Oscar-nominated short documentary, A HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS, which tells the harrowing story of children and staff at a rundown halfway home in Eastern Ukraine - and the plight of vulnerable children who await court custody decisions about their future. Simon opens up about what drew him to this timely subject and his process for filming in such challenging conditions, how children adapt to living in war-torn regions, and the future of Ukraine.
