UFCCU about “Ukraine. The Birth of a Nation”: In his film, the director Jerzy Hoffman, a Pole, speaks with a voice of a Ukrainian, earnestly and honestly addressing historical issues that are a source of pride but also of shame. It is a captivating narrative of a thousand years of Ukrainian history, of its most dramatic and defining moments that leaves the viewer both informed and thirsty for more. Mr. Hoffman’s love for Ukraine, obvious to anyone who can see and hear, does not compromise his level-headed depiction of even the most controversial aspects of Ukraine’s history. This film is both a great introduction for novices and a summary for those who already know a lot. It’s a must have for everybody who takes interest in Ukraine.
