"This is sports, not politics." Kino Lorber has revealed the official US trailer for an indie film titled Olga, which originally premiered at last year's Cannes Film Festival in the Critics Week sidebar. With the ongoing war bringing even more attention to Ukraine, film distributors are borrowing this attention to release films related to Ukraine. Olga is about a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast exiled in Switzerland, who is working to secure a place at the country's National Sports Center. But when the "Euromaiden" revolt breaks out in the country in early 2014, anxieties rise as her family gets involved. This film isn't about the current evens in Ukraine, but it is about a revolution in 2014 and related to Russia's violent invasion in the country. Olga stars Anastasiia Budiashkina as the gymnast, with Sabrina Rubtsova and Caterina Barloggio. This looks like an important film about Ukraine, about fighting for what's right, and how politics always plays into everything, even if we don't want it to. It alos won the SACD Award at the end of Critics Week last year. ›››
