Despite All, We Work
Caption
This documentary shares the stories of regional museum workers in Ukraine, filmed during their visitor programme to the Netherlands in 2024, at the invitation of DutchCulture.

In the face of immense challenges since Russia's full-scale invasion, they have redefined their roles, demonstrating the impact of international solidarity. The film highlights how strength and resilience have become the cornerstones of the identity Ukrainians strive to protect. Along the way, we get a glimpse into the passionate, sincere — and at times humorous — conversations between Ukrainian and Dutch museum professionals, as the group visits museums across the Netherlands, from Enschede to Den Bosch.

A film by Cem Altınöz, commissioned by DutchCulture.
