This feature documentary is directed and edited by Andrea Odezynska. Filmed on location at the Black Sea in Ukraine.  Return Sasyk to the Sea is playing in prestigious 2022 film festivals. 

 

Synopsis: A ruinous Soviet irrigation experiment in Southwestern Ukraine, created a slow eco-disaster which continues today.  The Sasyk Estuary, by the Black Sea, is ground zero for the battle - stasis and corruption vs. environmental reform and progress

 

In light of this latest invasion of Ukraine, Return Sasyk to the Sea, is a metaphor for the history of Ukraine itself. ~ Andrea Odezynska
