Back to Bucha – Valeriia Vovk to Perform at Boston Screening on October 1st

We are thrilled that Valeriia Vovk will be performing at the Boston screening of Back to Bucha on October 1st.

Valeriia donated the use of her song The War We Didn’t Ask For, which is the powerful soundtrack for the film. As she describes it: “The War We Didn’t Ask For is an aggressive song about the beginning of war. It translates the anger, fear, sadness, and readiness to fight”. The screening and performance take place at St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Jamaica Plain on Sunday, October 1st, 2023 at 12:30 PM (7:30 PM Bucha Time). The film’s director Steve Richards will be in attendance to lead the Q&A after the event that will also include “stars” from the film live from Ukraine.

Originally from Odessa, Ukraine she uses her music as a foundation for her activism for Ukraine. She has Boston ties as a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music and as a member of Bear Witness, executive producer of the film.
