The music video comprises footage from video tapes recorded by my parents during my childhood between 1994-2001. In 1991, Ukraine gained independence. There was a sense of freedom and hope among the people after years of Soviet oppression. This sense of freedom inspired us then and has united us now in the face of Russian aggression since 2014. This project aims to preserve memories of simple moments of life in Ukraine.#freeukraine #ukraine
