The Silence of the Estuaries (2026)

Amid the chaos of full-scale war, a deeply contemplative documentary unfolds within the wild wetlands of Ukraine’s Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park. Over the course of four changing seasons, scientist Ivan, park director Iryna, and their dedicated crew bear witness to environmental devastation, rescue wounded birds, confront illegal poaching, and work tirelessly to heal the land’s delicate balance. More than a nature film, this is a profound meditation on mortality and resilience—capturing both the breathtaking vulnerability of the natural world and the unyielding courage of the people who refuse to let it vanish.
