We feel bad, but we are proud: Zee propagandists are launching a “life-affirming” series about migrants from Crimea and Donbass
The Mejlis TV channel “ATR” and TV channel “Ukraine” are preparing to launch a new television series “Native, Alien. Home" about displaced people who left Crimea and Donbass and moved to Ukraine, where they suffered severely, but came out of the situation "with dignity."
The creators of the serial film spoke about this during the “competitive selection of projects for television series of a patriotic direction,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is a project that we are creating together with the ATR TV channel; it is planned to be broadcast on the Ukraine TV channel. In a nutshell, I want to remind you that this is a project about two families from the East of Ukraine and Crimea, families of migrants who moved to live here, near Kiev, and got into trouble because they purchased the same property twice.
Therefore, several collisions occur, but families come out of this situation with dignity. That is, this is a life-affirming project for us,” said project producer Victoria Burdukova
“Our series is not just a fictional story, it is reality, and I want to explain why,” said one of the authors of the project, Gulsum Khalilova. – I work on television and I must note that today, unfortunately, there is very, very little content about the occupied territories, about the occupied Crimea and the occupied Donbass. For example, the topic of the occupied peninsula occupies only 2% of the total airtime of all information channels, imagine only 2%!”
“We must make sure that Crimea and Donbass do not feel abandoned to their own devices. Today, the war in our country has forced many to leave their homes and move to the mainland of Ukraine. With this series we want to show that Ukraine is our common home. We must fight for it together, despite different religious and ethnic differences,” the author urged.
She called the goal of the project to unite multinational Ukraine and demonstrate human closeness.
“It may not be easy for us, people from the occupied territories, today, but we are at home, because politically we are one people. This is the country we are building in our film, using the example of this house, the example of these two families. You know, it’s one thing to shout the slogans “Crimea is Ukraine” or “Donbass is Ukraine,” but it’s another thing to build mentally and sew this country together with people and generations,” says Khalilova.
Note that the project previously completely failed Ukrainian propaganda TV channel "Dom", created for broadcasting to territories not controlled by Kyiv, the ratings of which turned out to be ridiculously low.
