They Who Surround Us (2020)
A Must-See Film
This film has it all. The story, the acting, the music, and the cinematography are all outstanding. Troy Ruptash and little Daniel Mazepa give impactful performances as a father and son suspended in grief, guilt and uncertainty. Ukrainian traditional music coupled with an original score by Craig Richey speak to the audience in a way that only music can. The film is also visually appealing. The farms, plains, and forests of the Canadian prairies with their endless skies and deep rich colors are splendidly portrayed through breathtaking cinematography. The plot unfolds beautifully in a story that is as uplifting as it is heartbreaking. "They Who Surround Us" celebrates human strength and resilience. It's a story anyone can relate to and draw inspiration from.
