Exquisitely shot and bold in its approach, director Iryna Tsilyk’s THE EARTH IS BLUE AS AN ORANGE follows single mother Anna and her four children as they document their lives under siege in Donbas, Ukraine.
This exceptional documentary won the World Cinema Documentary Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. With miraculous insight, the film observes a family—and a filmmaker— who cope with war by using their cameras and working in tandem to create meaning and to stay human.
