Divia - Watch Docs 2026

dir. Dmytro Hreshko, Poland, Ukraine, Netherlands 2025, 79'

The first documentary entirely devoted to the disastrous impact of war

in Ukraine for the environment. It is a meditative and mesmerizing cinema that alternately delights with monumental shots of nature and squeezes our throats when we realize the enormity of the suffering of the silent victims of the armed conflict. The dialogue-free film by Dmytra Hreshka abounds in a cacophony of battle sounds and great music by Sam Slater. It shows what is often overlooked — the effects of environmental invasions that humanity will grapple with for decades to come. Nature itself is trying to be reborn, and by showing the titanic work of specialized people (sappers, environmentalists), the director allows, in spite of everything, to hope for the future.
