Oksana Cherkashyna

February 21 changed everything for Ukrainian actress Oksana Cherkashyna. Having screened Maryna Er Gorbach’s powerful film Klondike at the prestigious film festivals Sundance and Berlin, she was hoping that an invasion of her home  country Ukraine was not going to be a reality.

“In the beginning was the Word” and the Word in Klondike was not about God. Indeed, this movie begins on a black screen, and we hear a dialog between a man and a woman.
