Synopsis:  

Ash and Crayons is a 2026 documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky that follows seven Ukrainian children as they navigate life in the shadow of war. Amid loss, displacement, and uncertainty, they continue to pursue their passions, support their families, build friendships, and imagine a future beyond conflict. Created with the contributions of more than 100 Ukrainian artists and film professionals working amid the war in Ukraine, the film is an intimate portrait of childhood resilience, courage, and hope. Rooted in their extraordinary experiences, Ash and Crayons speaks to a universal truth: even in the face of devastation, the human spirit has an extraordinary capacity to endure, adapt, and dream of a better tomorrow.
