The Earth Is Blue as an Orange

A Storyville documentary that follows Mia and her three siblings as they create a film to make sense of living under siege in Ukraine.

Single mother Anna and her four children are living under siege in Ukraine in 2019. Eldest daughter Mira dreams of becoming a film-maker and so, as bombs descend on neighbouring homes, she and her siblings construct, act in, and edit a film about their lives in the war zone.

The Earth Is Blue as an Orange observes the family as they cope with war by using their cameras to create meaning out of a meaningless conflict.
