“Porcelain War:” Ukrainian Artists on Living, Fighting and Creating Amid War

The acclaimed documentary "Porcelain War" has reached the Oscar shortlist. It follows the Kharkiv-based artists Slava Leontyev and Anya Stasenko, who craft delicate porcelain figurines even amid the raging war Russia has inflicted on their homeland. Slava Leontyev — who co-directed the documentary — and filmmaker Brendan Bellomo discuss why they believe that art is vital to Ukrainian resistance.
